Using Bugsnag / Insight Hub With MeisterTask

We will discontinue the integration between Insight Hub (formerly Bugsnag) and MeisterTask as of July 31, 2024. As of July 31, 2024, we will no longer actively support the Bugsnag integration with MeisterTask. Existing connections may still work, but no updates or support will be provided. The integration may stop working at any time without notice.

This feature is available to Pro and Business Users


Bugsnag is an error-monitoring tool that allows software developers to find, prioritize and fix bugs. 

Connect Bugsnag and MeisterTask so that every time Bugsnag logs a new exception, a new task is created in MeisterTask. The task will include the error message, stacktrace and a link back to the issue in Bugsnag.

Error in MeisterTask


Using Bugsnag

Bugsnag will add comments to tasks in MeisterTask when the corresponding error in Bugsnag changes state. Comments added by a user in Bugsnag are also automatically displayed in the corresponding task MeisterTask.

For issues that were logged before you set up the MeisterTask integration, you can create tasks manually:

 

  1. Go to the report.
  2. Click on the ! in the upper-left corner of the screen.
