FAQ
Questions about Create Pull Request.
What does the Create Pull Request action do in Bitbucket?
Opens a new PR from source branch to destination branch with title, description, and reviewers. Useful for automation that auto-creates PRs from generated branches (e.g., dependabot-style auto-update workflows).
What inputs does Create Pull Request require?
Required: Workspace, Repository Slug, Title, Source Branch, Destination Branch. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Bitbucket returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Create Pull Request support batch operations?
Yes. Run Create Pull Request inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Bitbucket's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
