Notification Order for Pull Requests reviewers

Question

Hey community,

does it exist a way to change to order of notifcations when a pull reuest is created?

When we open a pull request and add a reviewer the person is instantly notified. Is there a way to change this behaviour after all corresponding check pipelines which run there are completet and green? Background of the case is when the pull request pipeline failed (build error or test error) the reviewer can wait until th problem ist fixed.

Best regards

Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Welcome to the community!

It's great to see how Bitbucket apps are providing important features that are still missing in Bitbucket cloud.

I understand that you only want to notify reviewers if the source branch of the PR has a successful build result (via pipeline), because there's no point reviewing a PR when the pipeline is failing.

We are addressing this issue with our app Workzone for Bitbucket (cloud), it will be able to cater to your needs.
Here is a link to Workzone's documentation space highlighting how to create a configuration that adds reviewers only after a successful build, i.e. also allowing them to only receive the notification after a successful build.

Hopefully, that solves your problem!

Happy Coding,

Ulrich

Hi @Daniel Lutz

Currently not possible. I think the closest you could get to this is by adding the reviewers after the pipelines succeed using the Bitbucket API.

The good news is that this is on our radar for Flowie since it has been requested already, and we should support it via Flowie in the near future. If you get in touch via our website, we can notify you when it's available!
