Why this helps
Reproduction steps are often buried in a message thread and have to be hunted down during investigation.
- Retain the steps that help reproduce a defect.
- Make new tasks more useful to whoever investigates them.
- Avoid a second round of asking for details already shared.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and BugHerd to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to create a BugHerd task when a Slack message reports a bug with reproduction steps.
- 3Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real report that includes steps and check the resulting task.
Questions about this workflow
Should vague reports create tasks too?
This version focuses on reports with reproduction steps. State whether Notis should skip vague reports or create a task that clearly notes what is missing.
Will Notis invent missing steps?
Ask it to preserve provided details and identify missing information without filling gaps with guesses.
