What branches exist in this Bitbucket repo?

Short answer: You can list branches in Bitbucket by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Bitbucket List Branches action to a workflow, map its 5 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Branches.

What does the List Branches action do in Bitbucket?
Returns the repository's branches with last commit info. Useful for "find branches that haven't been touched in 90+ days for cleanup" maintenance workflows.
What inputs does List Branches require?
Required: Workspace, Repository Slug. 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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Bitbucket returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does List Branches support batch operations?
Run List Branches inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Bitbucket's rate limits.
