How long does setup take?

Most teams complete the BugMojo + Slack setup in 5-10 minutes. The longest step is generating the API token in Slack — the BugMojo-side configuration takes under a minute.

What permissions does the integration require?

The integration requires the following permissions in Slack: chat:write, channels:read, channels:history (optional, for threaded sync). BugMojo stores tokens encrypted at the application layer and never logs them.

Can I sync only certain bugs to Slack?

Yes — configure filters in Settings → Integrations → Slack to push only bugs matching specific priorities (CRITICAL, HIGH), projects, or labels.

Does the integration work for self-hosted BugMojo?

Yes. Self-hosted BugMojo supports the same Slack integration as the cloud version, including webhook-based two-way sync. Configure the webhook URL pointing to your self-hosted BugMojo instance.

How to Integrate BugMojo with Slack

What this integration does

When a teammate captures a bug, BugMojo posts a card to a designated Slack channel with the title, reporter, priority, and a preview thumbnail. Click the card to open the session replay; reactions and threaded comments sync back to BugMojo as activity log entries.

The integration is bidirectional where the underlying API supports it — updates flow both directions so neither tool becomes "stale state" relative to the other. For Slack specifically, this means engineering team sees new bugs the moment they're captured — no email, no jira-watch alerts.

Before you start

Make sure you have:

A BugMojo account with admin access (Settings → Integrations is admin-only).
A Slack account with permission to chat:write.
About 10 minutes of focused time — interruptions during OAuth flows tend to cause re-tries.

Step-by-step setup

Step 1: Install the BugMojo Slack app

Settings → Integrations → Slack → Add to Slack. You'll be redirected to Slack's OAuth flow to authorize the BugMojo app for your workspace.

Step 2: Pick the channel

Choose a channel — typically #bugs or #qa. Add the BugMojo bot to the channel if Slack requires it.

Step 3: Configure event filters

Default is to post on every new bug capture. Restrict to priority CRITICAL/HIGH if your team gets too many notifications.

Pro tip

Test the integration with a single low-priority bug first. Capture a test bug in BugMojo and confirm it appears in Slack within 30 seconds. If it doesn't, check Settings → Integrations → Slack → Logs for the error before reconfiguring.

Workflows this enables

Beyond the "bug appears in Slack" basic case, the integration enables several higher-value workflows that justify the setup effort. The most impactful is the first one below — it eliminates ~22 minutes per bug of context-switching according to a 2025 Atlassian study on engineering interrupt costs.

Engineering team sees new bugs the moment they're captured — no email, no Jira-watch alerts.
Threaded comments in Slack mirror back to the bug as comments — discussion stays attached to the issue.
On-call rotation: priority CRITICAL captures fire @here in #incidents.

Troubleshooting

"My Slack token isn't being accepted." Double-check the token has not expired. Slack tokens expire on different schedules depending on token type; regenerate and reconnect if in doubt.

"Bugs aren't appearing in Slack."

Check Settings → Integrations → Slack → Status to confirm the connection is healthy.
Verify the target channel is correct.
Check Settings → Integrations → Slack → Logs for the most recent error.

"Two-way sync is one-way only." Two-way sync depends on the API capability of Slack; some integration types (notifications, IDE) are one-way by design.

Privacy and security

What gets sent to Slack

The BugMojo-to-Slack sync sends: bug title, description, priority, reporter name, status, and a deep link to the BugMojo capture (which requires a separate BugMojo login to view). Session replay data, console logs, and network captures are NOT sent to Slack — they stay in BugMojo behind your authentication.

For compliance-sensitive teams, the deep-link approach means bug metadata can live in your existing audit-logged Slack system while sensitive capture data stays on BugMojo (self-hosted if needed).
