Errors caught in Anvil are often the starting point for work that happens in other tools — a Jira ticket, a Linear issue, a GitHub pull request, a message in a Slack or Teams channel. Third-party integrations would shorten that handoff. Instead of copying the error message, pasting the stack trace, and remembering the link back to Anvil, you'd click a button on the error page and a ticket appears in your tracker, pre-filled and linked back.
The first set of integrations focuses on issue trackers: Jira Cloud, Linear, GitHub Issues, and GitLab Issues. You connect once at the organization level, choose defaults like which project and issue type to use, and from then on any error page has a "Create Issue" control in its toolbar. Created tickets are remembered by Anvil — the error shows a badge like "Jira: PROJ-456" that takes you straight to the ticket, so you don't lose track of which errors already have work underway against them.
Alongside the OAuth-based integrations, there's a lighter Auto Link feature that converts text patterns in comments and notes (like PROJ-123 or #456) into clickable links to the right external system. Chat and notifications (Slack, Microsoft Teams), incident management (PagerDuty), and feature flags (LaunchDarkly, Split) are planned for later phases — the integration framework is designed so new providers can be added without reshaping the UI around them.
What we're thinking:
  • Initial providers: Jira Cloud, Linear, GitHub Issues, GitLab Issues
  • One-click issue creation from any error, with pre-filled title, stack trace, and link back to Anvil
  • Per-integration defaults (project, issue type, labels, priority)
  • Multiple integrations of the same type (e.g. two Jira sites)
  • Linked issues surfaced on the error as a clickable badge
  • Auto Link: regex-based text-to-URL patterns for user-written content
  • Later phases: Slack/Teams notifications, PagerDuty incidents, feature flag providers
Help us shape this:
  • Which issue tracker does your team use day-to-day, and what would you want pre-filled when creating a ticket from an error?
  • Beyond issue trackers, what integration would have the biggest impact on how you work — chat, paging, feature flags, something else?
  • Would you ever want Anvil to create tickets automatically (based on a rule), or is one-click-from-the-error the right level of control?
