Bug Reports Flow Straight to Notion: From Slack to Tracking
Someone reports a bug in Slack. Notis captures it and creates a Notion page with all the details, screenshots, and reproduction steps formatted for your triage process.
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 Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Why this helps
Bug reports scattered across Slack get lost or forgotten. Neurodivergent founders struggle with the cognitive load of manually creating tickets for each report, leading to duplicates and missed regressions. Without centralized bug tracking, the engineering team can't see the full picture of product issues.
- Eliminate manual bug report entry and reduce duplicate reports
- Keep all bug details in one searchable location with full context
- Make bug severity and frequency visible to guide engineering priorities
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Notion to Notis in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When someone posts a bug report in the bugs channel, create a Notion page with the bug description, affected feature, severity (if mentioned), and any screenshots or reproduction steps.'
- 3Select 'Channel Message Received' as your trigger and specify your bugs channel.
- 4Point Notis to your Notion bugs or issues folder.
- 5Test by posting a sample bug report and verify Notion creates a detailed page.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis automatically assign a severity level to bug reports?
Yes. Tell Notis to look for severity keywords ('critical,' 'major,' 'minor') or impact language (e.g., 'users can't log in' implies critical), and assign levels automatically.
Will Notis capture screenshots and attachments from Slack?
Yes. Your automation can include screenshot links, file attachments, and any media from the original Slack message in the Notion page.
Can I create a Notion database instead of individual pages?
Absolutely. Tell Notis to create database rows instead of pages. Each bug becomes a queryable database entry with properties for severity, status, assignee, etc.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Notion actions
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Reaction Removed Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_REMOVED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
New Bot Message Received Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_CHANNEL_MESSAGE_RECEIVED` with `is_bot_message=true` instead. Triggered when a new bot message is posted to a Slack channel.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
