How to develop a webhook in bitbucket server

Question

I need to develop a webhook in bitbucket server which would fire when a pull request task is checked/unchecked (since this webhook type is not provided out of the box)

Does anybody know of any documentation/tutorial/code example I could use to start this project with?

Please, don't answer with already available apps, even if they're free.

Hi @Javier Perez,

Ok now I understand what you are trying/wanting to accomplish.  I think where you are going to need to start is in the Java API since it looks like you are going to want/need to create a new event to trigger and specifically you will want to look at the PullRequestEvent Class: https://docs.atlassian.com/bitbucket-server/javadoc/6.7.1/api/com/atlassian/bitbucket/event/pull/PullRequestEvent.html

From there you will want call the new event you have created anytime you check/uncheck the checkbox you have added to the pull request comment.

I hope that helps as a starting point.

Jimmy, See the screen-shot below. The webhook I intend would trigger when the check box Sanity Passed changed state (checked<->unchecked which would result in the task state transition OPEN<->RESOLVED)

Could you please provide a bit more information about what events you are trying to capture when you say checked/unchecked as it relates to a pull request?
