Fabric for bugs
Have a lot of messages coming into your
#bugs
channel? Want to make it easier for others to create issues without asking you?
Fabric templates makes your #bugs channel a lot more manageable.
"It's so easy to create an issue from the conversation that that I never see somebody working on something in Slack where there's no issue" - Tyler Richie, CTO of Sprout

Click "Create an issue" on a message or react with 🆕 to create an issue.
In just a few clicks, Fabric can create an issue in GitHub, add relevant details, and optionally spin up a channel for teammates to collaborate.
Work fluidly in Slack, and we'll make sure everything gets to the right place.
We can even automatically open an Issue Room for each bug. This gives the requester plenty of space to drop in more details or screenshots, which the engineer can use to fix the bug.
Click on a message to create an issue. You can import multiple messages. We support emojis, images, files, and threads, so all the context is captured.

When you link your
#bugs

The message is imported into the title and description, along with the template prompt.
You can add more details to your issue, and then click

Issue Rooms let you collect more information and collaborate with more people, to close out bugs faster.

Toggle the auto-creation setting to "yes" to create Issue Rooms automatically.
This will attach an Issue Room channel to the bottom of each bug you create.

We create the Issue Room for you and attach it to your issue.
Team members outside of engineering are often intimidated by GitHub, and won't collaborate in there. But they will in Slack.
With Issue Rooms, every message gets backed up to the GitHub issue, so engineers and those on the business side end up collaborating more closely.

Teammates across roles can collaborate easily in an Issue Room.
When your issue is closed, we automatically archive your Issue Room for you.
