FAQ

Questions about Pull Request Created.

How does the Pull Request Created trigger work in Bitbucket?

Fires when a pull request opens in a Bitbucket repository. Payload includes the source/destination branches, title, author, and reviewers. The base hook for "auto-assign reviewers", "post to Slack PR-review channel", "trigger CI on PR-open" workflows.

Is the Pull Request Created trigger real-time?

Yes. Pull Request Created uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Bitbucket.

What data does Pull Request Created return?

The full event payload from Bitbucket. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter Pull Request Created so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Bitbucket admin permissions to use Pull Request Created?

For most Bitbucket accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Bitbucket plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Bitbucket's docs if the trigger fails to register.
