We have built the ultimate integration! We are happy to announce a new integration with Zapier, an integration service that allows you to connect Ybug to thousands of other apps.

You can now get your Ybug feedback reports forwarded to any app that has its Zap available in Zapier. That means every visual bug report, website comment, or user feedback item collected with Ybug can become part of the workflow your team already uses.

Why Zapier is useful for feedback workflows

Ybug already integrates directly with many project management and communication tools, but every team has its own stack. Some teams track work in Trello, some notify support in Slack, some add customer feedback to a spreadsheet, and some use several tools at once. Zapier gives you a flexible way to connect Ybug with tools that may not have a direct integration yet.

The idea is simple: when a new Ybug report is created, Zapier can trigger an action somewhere else. You can send the report to a task board, add it to a CRM, notify a channel, create a row in a spreadsheet, or start a custom workflow.

Connecting Ybug and Zapier

To integrate your Ybug project with Zapier, go to the Integrations tab in your project dashboard, enable Zapier, and follow the instructions shown in Ybug.

The Ybug app on Zapier provides a New Report trigger, which runs every time someone creates feedback in one of your Ybug projects. From there, you choose what should happen next in Zapier.

If your Zapier setup asks you to accept an invitation or connect the Ybug app manually, follow the link and instructions provided in the dashboard. Once connected, Zapier will be able to receive new Ybug reports and pass the data to the app you choose.

Creating a Zap

Creating a Zap using the Zap editor is really simple. In most cases, the setup follows this pattern:

  1. Choose Ybug as the trigger app. Select the New Report trigger.
  2. Connect your Ybug account. Authorize Zapier so it can receive report data from your project.
  3. Test the trigger. Zapier will fetch a sample report so you can map the fields.
  4. Choose the action app. Pick the tool where you want new feedback to go.
  5. Map the report fields. Use the feedback message, URL, screenshot, browser information, and project details where they make sense.
  6. Turn the Zap on. New Ybug reports will now follow the workflow automatically.

Practical Zap ideas for Ybug reports

Here are a few useful examples you can build with Ybug and Zapier:

  • Create a Trello card when a user submits website feedback.
  • Add a Google Sheets row for lightweight feedback tracking and reporting.
  • Send a Slack message to notify the right team about a new issue.
  • Create a support ticket when feedback comes from an important customer.
  • Add a CRM note when product feedback should be attached to an account or lead.

Example: lightweight QA tracking in Google Sheets

A small agency may not need a full issue tracker for every client review. With Zapier, every Ybug report can be added to a Google Sheet with columns for the page URL, feedback text, browser, status, and owner. The team still gets visual feedback from Ybug, while the project manager gets a simple list to review with the client.

Tips for building better Zaps

  • Start simple. Create one action first, test it, and only then add filters or multi-step workflows.
  • Use clear task titles. Include the page or project name so reports are easy to scan in the destination app.
  • Map screenshots and URLs. These are often the most useful fields for reproducing visual issues.
  • Add filters when needed. If only some reports should create tasks, use Zapier filters to reduce noise.
  • Test with real feedback. Submit one sample Ybug report from your website to confirm that the destination app receives useful data.

Bring Ybug feedback into the tools you already use

The Zapier integration gives you a flexible way to connect Ybug with your existing workflow. Whether you want a card, a ticket, a spreadsheet row, or a team notification, you can route new feedback automatically and spend less time copying report details by hand.

Frequently asked questions

What triggers are available for Ybug in Zapier?

The main trigger is New Report, which runs when someone submits new feedback in a connected Ybug project.

What can I send from Ybug to another app through Zapier?

You can pass useful report details such as the feedback text, page URL, project information, screenshot, and browser context depending on the fields supported by the destination app.

Do I need a direct Ybug integration if I use Zapier?

Direct integrations are usually best for supported tools, but Zapier is ideal when you want to connect Ybug to another app or build a custom workflow.
