Feature

When creating a new GitLab MR or Bitbucket PR trigger, you can now enable "Replay recent MRs/PRs" to process the last 30 days of merge requests and pull requests — bringing GitLab and Bitbucket to parity with GitHub's existing replay onboarding option.

# Entry Decision Reason
1 GitLab MR comment triggering — Mention @Promptless in a GitLab MR comment to start doc work SKIP Duplicate of open PR #835
2 Research breakdown shows KB files and skills — Breakdown now lists KB files agent read and skills used SKIP UX visibility enhancement to existing feature, not a new capability
3 Trigger timeline on Triggers page — Every trigger card shows received/suggestion/completed timeline SKIP UI visualization improvement, not a new workflow
4 Confluence search OAuth scope bug — Connections made before new scopes returned 401 on search SKIP Bug fix
5 Streamlined Slack onboarding — Connect in place, shows workspace name and icon SKIP Minor onboarding polish
6 GitLab MR and Bitbucket PR Replay — Enable replay of last 30 days during trigger setup QUALIFIES Adds substantial new onboarding capability for GitLab/Bitbucket users; previously impossible without GitHub
7 Instant Slack channel listening — Removes 10-minute quiet window SKIP Behavioral fix, not a new capability
8 PR trigger event badges — Event-type badges on GitHub PR trigger cards SKIP Minor UI polish
9 Multiple docs sources during onboarding — Connect multiple doc repos in setup wizard SKIP Ambiguous ship status: changelog entry kept but underlying PR #3300 closed without merging
10 Slack Passive Listening bug fix SKIP Bug fix
11 Closed Suggestion Diffs bug fix SKIP Bug fix
12 Slack Mention Display bug fix SKIP Bug fix
13 Teams files unavailable bug fix SKIP Bug fix
14 Read files/images in Teams 1:1 chats — File and image reading in personal Teams chats SKIP Partially covered by existing teams-private-channel-file-access.mdx
15 GitLab MR link resolution — Fetch MR content via GitLab API, bypassing SSO SKIP Borderline; under-the-hood improvement, default NO
16 Shareable KB file links — Deep-linkable URLs for Knowledge Base files SKIP UX enhancement to existing feature, not a new capability
17 Safer default role for auto-enrolled members — Admin-only change to default role setting SKIP Admin-gating security change, not a user-facing capability
18 @Promptless in PR review summaries missed 👀 reaction SKIP Bug fix
19 Grant file access to private/shared Teams channels SKIP Duplicate of existing teams-private-channel-file-access.mdx
20 Self-serve Microsoft Teams connect — Connect Teams without a setup call QUALIFIES Removes significant onboarding friction; in separate PR

Covered entry (full text)

GitLab MR and Bitbucket PR Replay: When setting up new GitLab or Bitbucket triggers, you can now enable "Replay recent MRs/PRs" to process merge requests and pull requests from the last 30 days—the same onboarding experience previously available only for GitHub PRs. The onboarding preview groups results by provider, showing counts and recent items separately for GitHub PRs, GitLab MRs, and Bitbucket PRs.

Source: commit bfa7994 (June 2026 changelog entry).

Inbound docs PR review — GitLab/Bitbucket replay launch post

Reviewed as a documentation-content PR (one new blog post under src/content/blog/product-updates/, human author). I verified every factual claim against the backing source (Promptless/promptless#3497, merged 2026-06-04) and the live docs for all three providers, and checked doc quality, audience fit, and repo conventions.

What's correct (verified against source):

  • 30-day replay window for GitLab MRs and Bitbucket PRs — ✅ matches source (replay_preview.py 30-day cutoff; provider coverage flipped from GitHub-only to github/gitlab/bitbucket in #3497).
  • GitHub-parity framing — ✅ GitHub was the only provider before this change.
  • "The onboarding preview shows… counts and recent items, grouped by provider" — ✅ matches the per-provider preview grouping added in #3497, and is documented in github-prs.mdx.
  • "The replay runs once at setup. After that, the trigger processes new activity as usual." — ✅ bootstrap marks the pipeline complete after the one-time run; ongoing webhook processing is unchanged.
  • "enable the replay option in the trigger creation flow… No separate configuration is required" — ✅ consistent with the published docs, which describe an enable-able "Replay recent MRs/PRs" option.
  • Both doc links resolve to the correct current slugs (/docs/connect/triggers/gitlab-merge-requests, /docs/reference/integrations/bitbucket). Terminology ("merge request", "pull request"), frontmatter, CTA imports, and Title-Case blog-post title all follow this collection's conventions.

One thing to address (see inline): the "within an hour of setup" timing claim in The problem is a specific performance figure that isn't backed by the source or the docs (replay runs asynchronously in the background with a progress indicator; there's no stated time bound). Suggest softening it so the post doesn't set an expectation the product doesn't guarantee.

Merge decision stays with you — this is a documentation-specialist check, not a gate.


## The problem

When GitHub PR triggers added replay support, teams onboarding to Promptless could generate an initial batch of documentation suggestions from recent work, not just from future activity. That made a big difference for pilots and evaluations: you'd see real suggestions for real code within an hour of setup, rather than waiting for the next PR to merge.

Correctness-against-source: "you'd see real suggestions for real code within an hour of setup" is a specific timing claim that neither the backing PR (Promptless/promptless#3497) nor the docs support. Replay runs asynchronously in the background (the provider trigger docs describe a "Processing last 30 days…" spinner, with no stated completion time), and processing time scales with how many MRs/PRs are in the window — so "within an hour" could over-promise for a busy repo.

Suggest dropping the specific figure, e.g.:

That made a big difference for pilots and evaluations: you'd see real suggestions for real code shortly after setup, rather than waiting for the next PR to merge.

(Everything else in the post checks out against source.)
