Keep technical debt from becoming invisible
Capture a specific cleanup or maintenance task from Slack in Bitbucket without stopping to write it up yourself.
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
Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
Why this helps
Technical debt gets acknowledged in chat but often has no durable record for future planning.
- Preserve concrete cleanup ideas for a future planning session.
- Make maintenance visible next to other engineering work.
- Skip the manual step of rewriting a chat message as an issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bitbucket to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation from the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to capture technical-debt tasks.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to create an issue for explicit technical-debt actions in Slack; select the channel-message trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one real cleanup example.
Questions about this workflow
Will an opinion about the code become an issue?
Tell Notis to capture concrete maintenance tasks rather than general discussion.
Can this support later prioritization?
Yes. The created issues provide a durable set of tasks for the team to review.
