Start release checks from Slack
Ask for a release check where the team is already coordinating, and let Notis start the matching Bugbug test.
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
Run test
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
Release requests get buried in busy channels, leaving someone to remember to open Bugbug and start the run.
- Cuts the context switch from release discussion to test setup.
- Keeps a test request tied to its original Slack conversation.
- Returns run status through the Notis reporting channel.
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 to make one.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to run the relevant Bugbug test when a Slack message requests release checks.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with one real release-check request and confirm the intended test starts.
Questions about this workflow
