How does the integration between Bitbucket and GitLab work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for Bitbucket and GitLab that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Bitbucket and GitLab.
Connect your Bitbucket and GitLab accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when Bitbucket's "Watch Commits" fires, WEXTL can "Add Group Member" in GitLab. Bitbucket has 5 triggers (including Watch Commits, Watch Pipelines, and Watch Pull Requests); GitLab has 144 actions (including Add Group Member, Add Project Member, and Approve Merge Request). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. Bitbucket-to-GitLab automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment Bitbucket (or GitLab) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your Bitbucket + GitLab automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
