Report bugs using BrowserStack’s integration for Slack

The BrowserStack integration for Slack allows you to share bugs with your colleagues while you are testing your web app on the BrowserStack platform. Our integration automatically adds all the metadata about the platform you are testing on, including:

• Browser and Browser Version
• OS and OS Version
• Device
• Screen Resolution

We additionally allow you to annotate screenshots and send the message to Slack.

This guide will help you:
