Bug Report → Slack Alert → GitHub Issue Creation
Automatically convert maintenance discussions into tracked GitHub issues with team notifications via Slack.
Workflow Steps
Zapier
Monitor discussion platform for new bug reports
Set up a Zapier trigger that monitors your maintenance discussion platform (like Mainteny) for new posts tagged with 'bug' or containing keywords like 'error', 'broken', or 'not working'. Configure the trigger to capture the discussion title, description, and any attached files or screenshots.
Slack
Send formatted alert to development channel
Create a Slack message action that posts to your #dev-alerts channel. Format the message to include the bug title, description preview, reporter name, and priority level. Add reaction buttons for developers to quickly claim the issue. Include a direct link back to the original discussion.
GitHub
Create issue with discussion details
Automatically create a GitHub issue in your repository with the bug title as the issue title. Format the issue body to include the full discussion content, steps to reproduce (if provided), and labels based on keywords (bug, frontend, backend, etc.). Link back to the original discussion and assign to the appropriate project board.
