✨ Catalog everything faster with automatic import for Bitbucket

The Bitbucket app for Compass now automatically detects when repositories are created in any connected Bitbucket organization and creates components in Compass for them. That means teams have a complete software catalog that is always accurate and up-to-date anytime repositories are added to Bitbucket. Here’s how to enable it at your organization:

1. ⚙️ Install or upgrade the Bitbucket app in Compass

2. 👉 Go to the app UI in Compass and select Configure Bitbucket

3. ✅ Toggle on the Automatic Import option for each desired Bitbucket organization
