How to run Bitbucket pipelines in Slack (The quickest method)

To manually trigger Bitbucket pipelines within Slack, the standard process involves setting up a Slack app and utilizing API-driven actions to run a workflow. This method can be quite demanding as it requires considerable effort to host and keep your code updated. The Slack command created will only run the pipeline as it is tied to a specific Bitbucket user.

With Actioner, you no longer need to worry about the challenges of building a custom Slack app or writing code. We have created a solution that transforms Bitbucket pipelines into easy-to-run actions within Slack, making the setup process smoother and simpler than ever before.

1-Convert Bitbucket pipelines into ready-to-run actions

We'll start by converting a pipeline into a Slack action.

1. Go to Actioner app directory and locate Bitbucket pipelines app.

2. Next thing you need to do is to install the app - make sure you're signed in.

 PS: No need to enter any payment method etc. it’s completely free now 😉 

3. Once you have installed the app, you need to connect with your Bitbucket user account.
4. Let's make some magic now! 🧝🏻‍♀Run the 2nd setup action called “Create action for Bitbucket pipeline”. Then to select your workspace, repo, default branch, YAML file and pipeline. This will dynamically generate an action for the selected Bitbucket pipeline.

💡To convert more pipelines into ready-to-use actions, re-run this action with selecting your other pipelines.

2-Run Bitbucket pipelines in Slack

Since you’re all set, and  created your action to run pipeline in Slack, let's see how it works!

1. Call the Actioner app in Slack and enter your pipeline name. Choose your pipeline from Actioner's suggested actions.

2. On the prompted form, enter the parameters for your action that you’d provide to run the same pipeline manually in Bitbucket. And ta-da!
3. If you want, you can check your freshly run pipeline in Bitbucket right away.
