Slack - Jam Documenation

Jam + Slack - Bug Bash in Slack 20x Faster

Connect Jam to Slack to send bug reports directly to any channel, DM, or private group. Every message includes the full debug context, and Jam links shared in Slack automatically expand into rich previews showing error timelines, so engineers can start debugging without opening a new tab.

You need the Jam Chrome extension installed. See Getting Started if you haven’t set it up.

What’s Included in Every Slack Message

Every Slack message sent from Jam automatically includes:

• Screen capture (screenshot, video, or instant session replay)
• Console logs
• Fully inspectable network requests
• URL, timestamp, and country
• Device, OS, and browser
• Viewport size
• Network speed

Create a Slack Message from a New Capture

1. Capture your bug: Use the Jam browser extension to capture your bug.
2. Select Slack as the destination: In the Jam extension, click Link you can share and change the destination to Slack.
3. Authenticate with Slack: Complete the Slack OAuth flow to connect your account.
4. Choose a channel: Once connected, choose which channel, private group, or specific user to send the Jam to. You can only access conversations you’re already a member of.
5. Send the message: Click Send message. The Jam opens in a new tab and your message is posted to the selected Slack channel.

Enable Inline Jam Previews in Slack

Once you connect your Jam account to Slack, any Jam link you paste into Slack will automatically expand into a rich preview. Engineers see debug context directly in Slack (including error timelines on videos and replays) without opening a separate tab.

1. Open the Jam dashboard: Go to jam.dev.
2. Open Settings → Integrations: Go to Settings → Integrations.
3. Connect Slack: Click Slack and complete the OAuth flow to connect your account.

After connecting, every Jam link you share in Slack will show an expanded preview formatted for engineers.
