Pull request
Get a push notification when a Bitbucket pull request is opened, approved, gets a change request or a comment, or is merged.
Three steps to your first push
STEP 01
Install the recipe
One click in Studio gives you a personal webhook URL.
STEP 02
Paste your URL into Bitbucket
Add it as a webhook for Pull request: Created.
STEP 03
Get a push on your phone
With the text, sound and buttons from the recipe.
How to set up the Bitbucket pull request: created webhook
- Click Install in Studio and sign in. The recipe is added to your account and you get a personal webhook URL.
- In your Bitbucket repository, open Repository settings > Webhooks and click Add webhook.
- Enter a title and paste your webhook URL as the URL.https://••••••••/•••••••• your personal URL, shown after install
- Under Triggers, pick Choose from a full list of triggers, tick Pull request: Created and save.
- Under **Triggers**, pick **Choose from a full list of triggers** and tick the **Pull Request** events you want pushes for:
- **Created**: a pull request is opened (drafts are skipped)
- **Approved**
- **Changes Request created**
- **Merged**
- **Comment created** (optional; Low priority)
- Updates, declines and other comment events are ignored, so ticking extra boxes won't cause noise.
- Bitbucket signs deliveries when you set a **Secret** (`X-Hub-Signature: sha256=…`), but JustPush doesn't check that signature yet, so keep your endpoint URL private.
What runs when the webhook arrives
Studio calls handleRequest(request) with the incoming webhook and sends the message it returns. It's yours after install; change anything.
