Can a repository get a notification

Question

Context:

When working with several repositories I realized that I would like to alert all the users of my repository that there's a new version out and the users should decide if they want to support my new version (testing, updating interfaces, etc).

Question:

Does Bitbucket offer a way to notify repos of an update?

Mulling and thoughts:

I was thinking of using a hook or plugin since they can do thinks like alerts and notifications. The real issue is how would a repo receive a hook/message if that's the case.

Thanks for the response Mikael!

I was looking more for something to make my repo respond to a post request (AKA a webhook).

The general layout would be:

Repo 1 get's updated. Repo 1 triggers a (web)hook to alert repo 2 that it received an update. Repo 2 responds to that hook by sending out an email to it's maintainers.

There would be a one-time setup to get repo 2 to register with repo 1 as a dependency somehow.

If you want to use an app one option is Scriptrunner, one of the built-in scripts can send out an email on events. There are other apps that can send out notifications on events in Bitbucket if you search Marketplace on notification.
