Notis

Create release branches from a request

Turn a release or hotfix request into a uniquely named branch from the commit it identifies.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create a branch

Creates a new branch in a bitbucket repository from a target commit hash; the branch name must be unique, adhere to bitbucket's naming conventions, and not include the 'refs/heads/' prefix.

Why this helps

Release preparation slows down when branch creation details are scattered across requests and someone has to set them up manually.

  • Start release preparation from a standard request.
  • Use the target commit supplied with the request.
  • Cut down manual branch setup and naming errors.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bitbucket once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3Ask Notis to create a branch for the repository and target commit in the request, following your branch naming convention.
  • 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request and confirm the branch name is unique and valid.

Questions about this workflow

What details must the request provide?

The repository, target commit hash, and a unique valid branch name or naming information that Notis can use.

Can the branch name include refs/heads/?

No. The action requires a branch name without the refs/heads/ prefix.
