Integrate with Bitbucket
- Shivi Sivasubramanian
Overview
What does the integration offer?
Use the Bitbucket integration to forward certain events (such as pull requests, issues, and push events) to Jira Service Management with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for Bitbucket alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until they are acknowledged or closed.
How does the integration work?
When a pull request is created in your repository in Bitbucket, it creates an alert in Jira Service Management.
When an issue is created in your repository in Bitbucket, it creates an alert in Jira Service Management.
When a push is made to your repository in Bitbucket, it creates an alert in Jira Service Management.
When a pull request is closed in your repository in Bitbucket, it closes the alert in Jira Service Management.
When an issue is closed in your repository in Bitbucket, it closes the alert in Jira Service Management.
Set up the integration
Bitbucket is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a Bitbucket integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in Bitbucket
Add Bitbucket integration
If you're using the Free or Standard plan in Jira Service Management, you can only add this integration from your team’s operations page. To access the feature through Settings (gear icon) > Products (under JIRA SETTINGS) > OPERATIONS, you need to be on Premium or Enterprise plan.
Adding an integration from your team’s operations page makes your team the owner of the integration. This means Jira Service Management only assigns the alerts received through this integration to your team.

Go to your team’s operations page.
On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.
Run a search and select “Bitbucket”.
On the next screen, enter a name for the integration.
Optional: Select a team in Assignee team if you want a specific team to receive alerts from the integration.
Select Continue.
The integration is saved at this point.Expand the Steps to configure the integration section and copy the Webhook URL.
