BitBucket Automatic Merge Failure email notification

[Damien Joldersma]

Hello,

Recently I have been asked to configure an email notification to Teams when an Automatic Merge Failure occurs when using the Automatic Branch Merging feature of BitBucket. 

I have a done a lot of research and have not been able to find a solution that works.  

I explored the Webhook route but noticed that there was not an event type that matched "Automatic Merge Failure": 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver076/managing-webhooks-in-bitbucket-server-1026535073.html

I found this old thread about Stash, which described that the cascading merge conflict email would only get sent to the person who created the PR - but our situation is similar to one person who replied who described using a headless service account to perform the PR and merge: 

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/email-notifications-for-cascade-merge-conflict/qaq-p/512963

I briefly looked into PowerAutomate tool to try and detect the email / Teams notification via the Office 365 BitBucket Connector but it also did not a way to treat "Automatic Merge Failure" - only triggers for all Pull Requests - which is useful but has too much noise for our team to catch the important missed merge conflict notice when it occurs.  

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/bitbucket/

So our need is to detect when an "Automatic Merge Failure" and to send an email / Teams notification.  

If anyone has any ideas or thoughts, I would really appreciate it.  

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance!

Not an answer, but apparently there already is a 9 year old feature request for this: 

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-3551

Even a duplicate: 

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-7604

I guess we're left to our own devices.  

Atlassian if you're listening: please review BSERV-3551 and prioritize it - there is a steady stream of folks adding comments and requesting.  

Thanks
