Bitbucket - notifying external applications

[Modha K Khammammettu]

Hello

What is the mechanism to trigger a command on an external system ( Ex: Running a command on unix shell) when a change is made to a repository.

Please let me know.

Thanks

For Cloud, you may need to use a Webhook that will receive and execute whatever scripted processes you have. See Manage Webhooks

In practice, based on your configuration, an event will fire to the URL that will receive said message. Once received, then you can perform whatever actions are needed. On the server side, this would be similar to a post-receive script execution which triggers after changes are pushed.
