Hello, is it possible to trigger a pipeline only when a reviewer approves a pull request?

[Deleted user]

I would like to trigger a pipeline only when a pull-request is approved and not when a pull request is made, is this a possibility using bitbucket pipelines?

Hello @[deleted] 

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

In regards to your question, I'm afraid it's not currently possible to setup a trigger to run the pipelines when the Pull Request is approved. You can find the available pipeline triggers in the following documentation :

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/pipeline-triggers/

That said, I went ahead and create a feature request to implement the functionality of triggering the pipeline once the PR is approved, which you can find in the following link :

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-21695

I would suggest you to add your vote there, since this helps both developers and product managers to understand the interest. Also, make sure you add yourself as a watcher in case you want to receive first-hand updates from that ticket. Please note that all features are implemented with this policy in mind: https://confluence.atlassian.com/support/implementation-of-new-features-policy-201294576.html

Hope that helps. If you have any further questions to this particular topic, let me know :)

Thank you @[deleted] ,

Hello @Patrik S 

Thank you for making such request, also a pipeline trigger for the specific case when all the reviewers have selected approve on a pull request would be very cool. 

Best regards
