Create Pull Request (PR) automatically

[Bartosz Wachowski]

Hi

How can I create a rule to create a Pull Request (PR) in the Automation part of JIRA?

I see only one option in the Bitbucket.

Hello @Bartosz Wachowski 

There currently is not support in Automation for Jira for an action to create a pull request. You could potentially work around this using the Send Web Request action and the Bitbucket API for creating a pull request.

What is the trigger for the Automation Rule? Under what circumstances do you want to automate creating a pull request?

@Trudy Claspill thanks for a rapid answer. I'm just investigating possibilities, but it's not crucial. 
I want to create a flow that would create a branch and PR in another step. I know it's not that banal path, but it still thought to try it :)

If you wanted the pull request creation to happen based on the transition of an issue, you could add it to the Workflow rather than using an Automation Rule.

@Trudy Claspill sure. Thank you!
