Create a Bugsnag event field for a repeated debugging need
When a useful debugging detail keeps coming up, make it filterable in Bugsnag with a field creation workflow.
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 Custom Event Field
Tool to create a custom event field for a project. use after confirming the project id to add a new filterable field. example: "create a field 'user.id' mapping to 'metadata.user.id' for project 515fb..."
Why this helps
Teams can repeatedly search for the same kind of event detail without having a dedicated field to filter on.
- Turn a recurring debugging need into a filterable field.
- Reduce repeated manual scanning for a useful detail.
- Capture improvements to triage as the need becomes clear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Bugsnag to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to create a Bugsnag custom event field when a recurring debugging detail is identified in Slack.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real discussion and check the field name and mapping are appropriate.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create the custom field automatically?
Yes. The chosen Bugsnag action creates a custom event field for a project.
Should every Slack suggestion create a field?
Use a clear Slack discussion that confirms the detail is useful for filtering, since creating fields changes the project setup.
