Turn Linear retest requests into Bugbug runs
Keep retest requests from getting buried in discussion by tying the ask to a Bugbug run and a clear report.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
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
Retest requests written in issue discussions are easy to miss when they do not create a separate task or notification.
- Acts on retest requests where they are made.
- Reduces follow-up needed to start validation.
- Returns run details to the channel you choose.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Bugbug to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to run the relevant Bugbug test when an issue comment requests a retest.
- 4Select the Linear Comment Received trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real comment that clearly asks for a retest.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment start a test?
Use the prompt to tell Notis to act only on comments that request a retest or renewed validation.
What if the right test is unclear?
Ask Notis to report that it could not identify a confident match rather than starting an uncertain test.
