Create a Bugsnag field from a marked Slack request

Mark an agreed metadata need with a reaction and have Notis create the Bugsnag field for future filtering.

Trigger

Message Reaction Added

Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

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

A decision to add useful event metadata can be lost among other Slack follow-ups before anyone configures it.

  • Give an agreed field request a clear follow-up signal.
  • Turn the requested event detail into a filterable project field.
  • Reduce the chance that a small but useful configuration task is dropped.

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 conversationally.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction to create the requested Bugsnag custom event field when the chosen reaction marks a message.
  • 4Select the Slack reaction added trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one confirmed field request and review the created field.

Questions about this workflow

Should this be used for unreviewed suggestions?

Use a reaction only after the team agrees that the field is useful, because the action changes project configuration.

Can the trigger watch a particular reaction?

Yes. The Slack reaction trigger supports optional emoji and channel filtering.
