Record service degradation reports from Slack
Turn a clear report of slower or degraded service into a structured event the team can review later.
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
Report Event
Tool to send custom events to Honeybadger Insights. Use when recording structured NDJSON telemetry.
Why this helps
Early degradation signals may be mentioned in chat before anyone creates a durable monitoring note.
- Records concrete degradation reports for later review.
- Keeps early incident signals from getting lost in conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Honeybadger to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one prompt directing Notis to record an Insights event only for clear reports of service degradation.
- 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one real degradation report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this measure service performance?
No. It records a team member's explicit degradation report as a custom event.
What should count as degradation?
Specify the kinds of concrete reports your team wants captured, such as a named service becoming unusually slow.
