Hi @Sagar s gowda -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Short answer: you may need to call the Bitbucket REST API to get some of that information in the rule.

The available PR-related triggers are PR Created, PR Declined, and PR Merged: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-triggers/

As those originate from outside of Jira, the {{initiator}} smart value will likely be the Automation for Jira user, and not the person who took the PR action.  You could use the Send Web Request action to call the Bitbucket REST API to find the person / user, and then use that to find the Jira user account.

Kind regards,
Bill

I am not using the Bitbucket REST API at this time, and I am not working in your Jira site / development environment to know its configuration.  I recommend working with your team's engineers and your Jira Site Admin to implement this rule, step by step, and test it.

I can provide this how-to article for calling a REST API endpoint from an automation rule using the Send Web Request action:
