Notify the team automatically
A new BugSmash comment triggers a notification in the selected Slack channel, reducing the need for manual status messages.
BugSmash + SlackSend visual feedback to the right Slack channel
Connect BugSmash with Slack so every new review comment can notify the team without relying on someone to copy updates between tools. Each notification carries the comment details, a direct BugSmash link, and any attached visual.
Connect a BugSmash project to the Slack channel where its reviewers, designers, developers, or project managers already coordinate.
Key Advantages
Keep feedback visible without adding another inbox
Preserve the route back to context
The notification includes a direct link to the BugSmash comment so teammates can open the original review instead of working from a disconnected summary.
Organize notifications by project
Each BugSmash project can be linked to a selected Slack channel, helping teams separate design feedback, QA reviews, and other active work.
