Why this helps
Approvals buried in chat can leave someone uncertain whether work is ready to proceed.
- Keep a decision beside the work it authorizes.
- Reduce repeat confirmation messages.
- Make handoffs clearer when the approver is unavailable.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and BugHerd to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in plain language to add a comment to the existing BugHerd task when a designated reaction marks an approval message.
- 3Choose the Slack reaction-added trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real approval message that identifies its task, then verify the comment.
Questions about this workflow
What reaction should I use?
