Get codebase context for bugs reported in Slack
When a bug report lands in a channel, let Devin explain the relevant code and likely areas to inspect so you can respond with context.
Trigger

Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
A bug report can pull a founder out of focused work to reconstruct how the codebase fits together.
- Get repository-specific context without switching into a separate research session.
- Give teammates a useful starting point for investigation.
- Keep the report and its context tied to the Slack conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Devin MCP to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to make one.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction asking Devin about the bug in the new Slack message and to report its codebase context.
- 4Pick the Slack channel message trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with one real bug report in a Slack channel.
