Visual Bug Documentation: Auto-Capture Screenshots When Issues Are Reported
Every bug report includes a screenshot. No more scrolling through Slack trying to remember what the error looked like.
Trigger
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Action
Capture Website Screenshot (POST)
Tool to capture a screenshot of a website via http post. use when you need to post form data parameters.
Why this helps
You report a UI bug with all the details, but when you come back to debug it hours later, the visual context is gone. You waste time trying to reproduce the exact state.
- Preserve the exact bug state without manual screenshots
- Reduce debugging ramp-up time by 50%
- Build a searchable visual bug library
- Stop context-switching to take screenshots
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Apiflash integrations to Notis (one-time setup in your Notis portal)
- 2In Notis Automations, create a new automation with the prompt: 'When a new bug is reported with a URL, capture a screenshot of that page'
- 3Select 'Public Team Issue Created' as your trigger
- 4Choose your notification channel (Slack, email, or in-app) for run reports
- 5Test by creating a real bug issue in Linear with a website URL and verify the screenshot appears
Questions about this workflow
What if the issue doesn't include a URL?
Notis is smart - if no URL is mentioned, the automation skips that issue. You can also reference URLs in the title or description, and Notis will find them.
How quickly does the screenshot appear?
Screenshots are captured within 30 seconds of the issue being created, so you get context almost instantly in your notification channel.
Can I capture screenshots of pages that require login?
Yes, with Apiflash's form submission feature. You can tell Notis to submit login credentials as part of the automation prompt.
