Turn Slack bug reports into Jira issues
Capture bug reports where they appear. Notis can turn a Slack channel message into a Jira issue with the reported behavior and context.
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 Issue
Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.
Why this helps
Bug reports buried in busy channels are easy to miss or lose details from when they are copied into Jira.
- Keep reported symptoms and context together in Jira.
- Reduce manual copying between Slack and Jira.
- Give the team a ticket to triage and track.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Jira bug from channel messages that report a software problem, preserving the message details and link when available.
- 4Choose Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real bug report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create an issue from every channel message?
Describe the intended bug-report signal in your instruction. Notis uses the message content to decide whether it describes a bug.
Can the Jira issue include the original Slack context?
Ask Notis to include the message details and link when available. Check the created issue during your real-example test.
