Check a reported issue with Bugbug
When someone shares a reproducible issue, start the relevant test while the details are fresh in the conversation.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action

Execute a test in bugbug and return the test run details. this action allows you to run a specific test with optional configuration for browser, device, viewport, and variable overrides. it returns detailed information about the test run including step-by-step execution status.
Why this helps
Reported behavior can sit unverified while the team switches between Slack, Bugbug, and other priorities.
- Starts verification closer to the moment an issue is reported.
- Keeps the original report available as context.
- Can shorten the gap between a report and useful test evidence.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bugbug to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to run the relevant Bugbug test when a Slack message gives a reproducible issue.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose where Notis reports runs.
- 5Test with one real, safe reproduction request and check the intended test run.
