In short

How do I route new Zentao bugs to the right developer automatically?

WebRun checks Zentao every morning for newly reported bugs with no assignee, logs the module, severity, and reporter for each to Google Sheets, and posts a handoff note in Notion naming the module owner who should pick it up, so a new bug reaches the right developer the same day instead of sitting unassigned in the queue.

  • New bugs reach the right developer the same day they are reported
  • Module owners get a direct handoff instead of scanning the backlog
  • Every new bug is logged even before it is formally assigned

Questions, answered

Does it assign the bug in Zentao automatically?

No. WebRun only identifies the likely module owner and posts a handoff note. Formally assigning the bug in Zentao is still done by a person.

How does it know who owns which module?

It matches each bug's module against the ownership mapping you set up once, so the right person is named in the handoff note every time.

What if a bug does not match any known module?

It is still logged to Google Sheets with a flag that it needs manual triage, so nothing new falls through without at least being recorded.

Put this on autopilot.
