Hi, the connection is successful, but the auto-deployment seems to be not working from bitbucket...
When I press the PULL UPDATES button - all OK, however, if I Commit to bitbucket, waiting few minutes and the repository is not populated automatically.
What can be the reason of this?
Hello, @Marek Kaczanowicz!
In order to automate this process, web hooks should be used, see the following page for the details:
