Give critical Bugsnag incidents a focused Slack channel
When a critical error needs a team response, create a dedicated Slack channel from its Bugsnag alert and keep coordination easy to find.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create channel
Initiates a public or private channel-based conversation
Why this helps
Critical incidents can get buried in busy Slack channels, leaving responders to hunt for context and coordinate across scattered conversations.
- Give responders a dedicated place to coordinate around a critical incident.
- Use the webhook request and Bugsnag details to name the channel clearly.
- Reduce the time spent searching general Slack conversations for incident context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bugsnag and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review each incoming Bugsnag incident request and create a focused Slack channel for critical incidents.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real critical incident request and confirm the channel is created.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
A request sent to its Notis webhook starts the run. The request should carry or identify the Bugsnag incident for Notis to review.
Does this create a channel for every error?
No. In the automation instruction, specify which Bugsnag incidents count as critical enough to need a dedicated channel.
Can it include incident details in the channel?
The selected Slack action creates a channel. Have Notis report the incident context in its run report, and confirm which channel details the action supports during your test.
