You can register the bitrise-webhooks URL as an outgoing webhook.

Once the URL is registered, check the usage section for all the accepted and required parameters you can define in the message, and for a couple of examples.

Usage: the message format

Your message has to be in the format: key:value|key:value|..., where the supported keys are:
