Is there a trigger for when a pull request has been approved?

[Peter Trang]

Is there a trigger I can use for the workflow to transition issues when a pull request has been approved? There are triggers for open, reopen, PR created, declined, but no approved.

This is correct: there are no triggers for Pull request approved.

The complete list of triggers is available in the documentation in the section Understanding triggers.

I can't find where to put in a request for a "Pull Request Approved" trigger.

@Peter Trangyou can submit a suggestion to the product team issue tracker:

• Jira Server
• Jira Cloud

Until Atlassian adds triggers for approvals, you can use webhooks. See https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/managing-webhooks-in-bitbucket-server-938025878.html for more details.

Make a transition call on the PR Approved event.

Can you detail how one would do this? I have the same issue and would like to use webhooks if that's possible, but I don't know how to get Jira to listen appropriately.

You will need to use a valid JIRA REST API url to perform your operation. Check out https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/7.11.0/ for available REST end points  in JIRA
