Errors From Slack Become Bug Issues Instantly
Error notifications appear in Slack constantly. Notis recognizes them and automatically creates Linear bug issues so your engineering team has a structured record.
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
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Errors get reported in Slack but disappear into the noise. Neurodivergent founders struggle to ensure errors get tracked in Linear and don't slip through the cracks.
- Automatically capture all error notifications in a structured format
- Ensure no error gets lost in Slack chat
- Create a comprehensive bug log without manual effort
- Help your engineering team triage issues faster
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Linear to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When error messages appear in #alerts, create Linear bug issues' or use the portal.
- 3Provide the prompt: 'Monitor #errors-channel for error messages. When an error is posted, create a Linear bug issue with the error details and stack trace.'
- 4Choose your error channel and Linear team.
- 5Test by posting a test error message and verifying the bug issue appears in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What qualifies as an error?
You define this in your prompt. You can target keywords like 'error', 'exception', 'failed', or specific message patterns.
Does this deduplicate errors that appear multiple times?
You can configure Notis to check for existing issues with the same error before creating a duplicate.
Can I automatically assign bugs to a specific person?
Yes. Include assignment rules in your prompt, like 'Assign to the on-call engineer' or 'Assign based on error type'.
