Automatic notifications from Bitbucket

Question

I created a repository on the Bitbucket. And in Admin tab I found Services configuration. As I understand services allow to integrate with email, twitter and so on.

I expected that once I configured a service (email-service, for instance) I would receive email notifications about new changesets (when someone make hg 'push' command). But I don't receive anything.

What's the correct way to configure automatic notifications about new changesets on Bitbucket? And what do the services really do?

Answer 1

It's pretty easy to set up email notifications you just enter the email address that you want the notifications to be sent to.

Have you checked that

• the email hasn't been marked as spam - emails are sent from commits-noreply@bitbucket.org
• you have pushed the changes to the remote server (Bitbucket) and they aren't being pushed to a local repository.
• the email address you have added is correct

Complete information on configuring Bitbucket services can be found here. In particular email configuration can be found here.
