Step-by-step guide
How to connect BitBucket to Heroku
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active BitBucket account with repository access
- An active Heroku account with API credentials
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate BitBucket
Click "Add Connection" and select BitBucket from the app directory. You'll be redirected to BitBucket's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.
- Step 03
Authenticate Heroku
Same process for Heroku. Click "Add Connection," select Heroku, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your cloud resources and services. You select which services and regions the integration can interact with.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new commit pushed in bitbucket or webhook received in heroku. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send webhook in heroku. Map the data fields between BitBucket and Heroku so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between BitBucket and Heroku. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
Benefits
Why connect BitBucket and Heroku?

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect BitBucket to Heroku?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both BitBucket and Heroku via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing developer tools events to infrastructure & cloud actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between BitBucket and Heroku?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new BitBucket events to Heroku actions, trigger Heroku updates when BitBucket data changes, create Heroku records from BitBucket events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the BitBucket and Heroku integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your BitBucket-to-Heroku workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my BitBucket data secure when connected to Heroku?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your BitBucket or Heroku passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your developer tools data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between BitBucket and Heroku?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either BitBucket or Heroku. For example, create a workflow where BitBucket events update Heroku, and a separate one where Heroku changes sync back to BitBucket. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect BitBucket and Heroku?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use BitBucket and Heroku, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
