Turn Reproducible Email Bug Reports into Test Runs
A useful bug report should lead to a clear next step. Let Notis spot reproduction details in incoming Gmail and run the matching Bugbug test.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
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
Bug reports arrive in the inbox, then get lost while you switch apps to find and start a test.
- Start a relevant test while the report is still in view.
- Skip manual app switching for reports with clear reproduction steps.
- Get the run outcome in your selected report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Bugbug once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to review incoming bug reports, identify a matching test from the available Bugbug tests, and run it only when the message provides enough reproduction detail.
- 4Choose New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real bug report and confirm the selected test and run result.
Questions about this workflow
Will every incoming email start a test?
The trigger fires for each new Gmail message, but your instruction can tell Notis to run a test only when a message is a bug report with enough detail to identify a relevant test.
Does Gmail provide the reproduction steps in a special field?
The trigger is described as a new message received. Notis can analyze the email content available to it, but your instruction should account for reports that omit reproduction details.
What happens if no Bugbug test seems relevant?
Instruct Notis to report that no suitable test was identified instead of launching an unrelated test.
