How to Trigger Non-Multibranch Jobs from Bitbucket Cloud?

Issue

I want to configure CloudBees CI or Jenkins and Bitbucket Cloud to automatically trigger non-multibranch jobs on changes

Environment

CloudBees CI on modern cloud platforms - managed controller
CloudBees CI on traditional platforms - client controller
Jenkins
Bitbucket Cloud

Resolution

The previous version of this article recommended the Bitbucket Plugin, but as this is a community plugin, support is limited by our CloudBees plugin support policies.

Instead we recommend to create a Multibranch job, and use the Filter by name feature to only build the branch(es) you want: How to Trigger Multibranch Jobs from Bitbucket Cloud?
