Keep issue updates with the issue
When a Slack update clearly belongs to an existing Bitbucket issue, add the context where the team is tracking the work.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Create an issue comment
Adds a new comment with markdown support to an existing bitbucket issue.
Why this helps
Important issue updates in chat can be missed by teammates who follow the repository instead of the Slack channel.
- Keep relevant discussion alongside the tracked issue.
- Help repository-focused teammates see progress.
- Avoid manually repeating an update in two places.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bitbucket to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to carry issue updates across.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to comment on an existing Bitbucket issue when a Slack channel message clearly identifies that issue and adds useful context; choose the channel-message trigger, a report channel, and test with one real update.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which issue to update?
The Slack message should identify the relevant issue clearly enough for Notis to find it.
Will every comment in Slack be copied?
No. The instruction should limit comments to meaningful updates about an existing issue.
