configuring workflow triggers to start REST API script

[Samuel Donadelli]

In the context of configuring workflow triggers, is there a manner to trigger an event from JIRA, to start a REST API script to execute Bitbucket commands?

Hi @Samuel Donadelli,

It looks like a webhook may help in this context. On the documentation, we state the following:

[Webhooks] provide a lightweight mechanism for letting remote applications receive push notifications from Jira, without requiring polling. For example, you may want any changes in Jira bugs to be pushed to a test management system, so that they can be retested.

Workflow triggers, instead, are a way for Jira to perform some operations based on events received from other applications (Bitbucket in this case).

If you could add some context to this request (including which operation should be trigger in Jira and what should be executed in Bitbucket as result), there may be another and potentially even better to achieve the same. For example, an add on could already be providing this functionality with an easy set of configuration options.
