Introduction

Turn scattered product feedback into action. This automation saves every idea/bug to a central table and notifies the right Slack channels—urgent bugs are escalated automatically. ✅

Trigger Event

A user submits an idea or bug via your form/webhook. The submission includes fields like name, module, description, type (Idea/Bug), priority, and optional attachment.

Actions

  • The submission is cleaned and organized so dropdown choices show readable text and the first attachment is captured.
  • The created time is converted to your local date and time for easier tracking.
  • A new row is created in your Ideas table with key details: name, mobile, idea/bug description, type, date, time, and attachment URL.
  • A Slack message posts in your ideas channel with the summary: who submitted it, type, module, and description.
  • If it’s a Bug marked Urgent, a detailed alert is also sent to your QA Slack channel for faster attention.

Benefits

  • Central source of truth: Every submission is saved and searchable
  • Real-time visibility: Teams see new ideas instantly in Slack
  • Faster triage: Urgent bugs auto‑escalate to QA
  • Fewer manual steps: No copy‑paste between tools
  • Cleaner data: Dropdowns and attachments are parsed correctly
