Start Bugbug test runs from email

When an email names a test to run, let Notis start it in Bugbug and bring the run details back to your report channel.

Trigger

New Email Received

Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox

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

A test request can get buried in the inbox while you switch to Bugbug, find the test, and start it by hand.

  • Start requested tests without leaving your inbox.
  • Keep the test run details with the automation report.
  • Use one plain language instruction to decide which emails qualify.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agent mail and Bugbug once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to run a Bugbug test only when the email identifies a specific test, and report the returned run details.
  • 4Pick New Email Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real email that names a test you can run.

Questions about this workflow

What should the email include?

Have it identify the Bugbug test to run. If Notis cannot determine which test is intended, the prompt should have it report that the request needs clarification instead of starting an unspecified test.

Can it choose browser or device settings?

The Run test action supports optional configuration, but include the desired settings in your instruction or email. Do not assume defaults match your needs.
