Remote app logging, crash reporting, and diagnostics — automated

AnalyticsDeveloperSecurityCloud & InfrastructureMonitoring & Alerts

Bugfender is a cloud-based remote logging and crash reporting platform that lets mobile and web development teams view application logs from users' devices in real time — without the user doing anything. It collects logs, crashes, issues, and in-app user feedback across iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, and web JavaScript. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can retrieve device diagnostics, download filtered log windows, monitor error volume trends, upload debug symbols for de-symbolication, and automate GDPR device data erasure — all without anyone logging into the Bugfender dashboard.

Release deployed — symbols uploaded and first-hour health monitored

When a release tag is pushed to GitHub, the agent confirms the new version exists in Bugfender, uploads the debug symbol file so crash stack traces are immediately readable, then monitors the first hour of log volume and posts a health status to the engineering Slack channel — all before the on-call engineer finishes their coffee.

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    20 min / week
    Manual dashboard visit before each call

    Sales reps either skip reliability stats entirely or log into Bugfender manually before calls, taking 10 minutes to navigate to the right app and export the numbers.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent pulls crash stats for every prospect call

    Before each prospect call, the agent retrieves current crash rates and device counts from Bugfender and assembles a stability summary — reps enter calls with real reliability data, not marketing language.

  • Marketing
    15 min / week
    Manual crash count comparison for release notes

    The marketing team asks engineering for crash numbers before each app store update, waits for someone to pull them from Bugfender, and writes the copy manually — often skipping the data entirely.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent extracts quality metrics for release copy automatically

    After each release, the agent compares crash counts between the old and new version and drafts a reliability improvement blurb for the app store notes — ready before the developer submits the update.

  • Customer Support
    50 min / week
    Manual log retrieval per support ticket

    Support agents forward raw customer complaints to engineering, who then log into Bugfender, find the device, filter the time window, and extract the relevant logs — adding 20 minutes per ticket.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent attaches log context to every crash ticket automatically

    When a crash ticket arrives, the agent downloads the relevant device logs and attaches them to the engineering ticket — engineers get full diagnostic context without anyone logging into Bugfender.

  • Human Resources
    20 min / week
    Manual device data erasure per offboarding request

    HR or legal manually logs into the Bugfender dashboard, finds each device by UID, runs the erase action, and records the date and confirmation in a spreadsheet — typically 15 minutes per request.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent processes GDPR erasure and logs compliance confirmation

    When an offboarding or GDPR request arrives, the agent erases the device data in Bugfender and logs the confirmation in the compliance record — the entire workflow completes within about a minute.

  • Finance
    10 min / week
    Reactive plan overage review after the invoice

    Finance discovers log volume overages when the invoice arrives, then investigates retroactively which apps consumed excess log volume — too late to take corrective action for that billing period.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent tracks log volume against plan limits proactively

    The agent monitors monthly log volume usage and flags projected overages before the billing period closes — finance is never surprised by an overage charge on the invoice.

  • Operations
    45 min / week
    Manual weekly stability report assembly

    Operations manually visits the Bugfender dashboard for each app, captures numbers into a spreadsheet, and pastes a summary into Slack — a process that takes 45 minutes each Monday morning.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent delivers a weekly cross-app stability digest automatically

    Every Monday the agent pulls log volume trends and crash counts for all apps and posts a structured stability report to Slack before the team meeting — no manual dashboard navigation required.

  • Legal
    20 min / week
    Manual GDPR erasure and compliance logging

    Legal manually identifies device UIDs, logs into Bugfender to erase each one, screenshots the confirmation, and pastes it into a compliance spreadsheet — typically 20 minutes per erasure request.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent completes GDPR erasures with a full audit trail in minutes

    Erasure requests trigger an automated workflow that erases device data and writes a timestamped record to the GDPR compliance log — the DPO receives confirmation via Slack within about a minute.

FAQs

Questions about Bugfender + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Bugfender?
Go to the Apps tab, find Bugfender, and click Connect. The recommended path is API key — open your Bugfender dashboard, navigate to your team settings, generate a Personal Access Token, and paste it into Actionist. Actionist runs a test call to list your apps and confirms the handshake before any actions run. OAuth2 is also supported for teams that prefer a delegated authorisation flow.
What can Actionist actually do with Bugfender?
Actionist reads from Bugfender — it can list apps, retrieve devices, download logs, fetch issues and crash reports, and pull time-series log counts. The API is read-only for log and crash data. Write operations through Actionist are limited to what the Bugfender REST API exposes: enabling or disabling logging for a specific device, erasing a device's data for GDPR compliance, and uploading debug symbol files for crash de-symbolication.
Can I connect Bugfender to other apps in the same workflow?
Yes. The most common pattern is to pull Bugfender data and push it somewhere your wider team already works. For example: when a new crash issue appears in Bugfender, the agent can open a GitHub issue or Jira ticket with the full log context attached; it can post a daily crash count digest to a Slack channel; or it can write log-volume time-series data into a Google Sheets dashboard for a product manager who does not have a Bugfender account. Any of Actionist's 200+ connected apps can receive data from Bugfender in the same workflow.
What are the most common things agents do with Bugfender?
The most common patterns are: (1) crash-to-ticket — the agent detects a new crash issue and automatically opens a prioritised ticket in your engineering backlog with the device info, OS version, and relevant log lines; (2) daily log health digest — the agent pulls the log volume time series for the last 24 hours and posts a summary to Slack before the morning standup; (3) GDPR erasure workflow — when a customer deletion request arrives, the agent calls Bugfender to erase that device's data and logs confirmation in your compliance tracker; (4) release regression check — after a deploy, the agent queries log counts by app version to detect a sudden spike in errors.
How does log filtering work when pulling Bugfender logs through Actionist?
Bugfender stores logs per device and per app. When you call Download App Logs or Get Paginated Logs, you can filter by app ID, device UID, time range, and log level. Actionist passes those filters as parameters so the agent only pulls the logs relevant to the task — for example, only ERROR-level logs from the last 48 hours for a specific device that reported a crash. Logs older than your Bugfender plan's retention period are not returned.
Can Actionist automate uploading debug symbols to Bugfender?
Crash symbol uploads are handled by the Upload Symbols action in Actionist. You need the app version ID and the compiled dSYM (iOS) or Proguard mapping file (Android). The most practical automation is to trigger this from your CI pipeline: when a build artifact is produced, the agent calls Upload Symbols so stack traces in Bugfender are always de-symbolicated by the time the first crash report arrives. Actionist cannot generate the symbol files — those come from your build tool.
Does Actionist work with Bugfender for both mobile and web apps?
Bugfender supports iOS (Swift/Objective-C), Android (Java/Kotlin), React Native, Flutter, and web JavaScript. The REST API that Actionist uses is platform-agnostic — it works at the account/app level regardless of which SDK your app uses. So whether your team ships an iOS app, an Android app, or a web frontend, the same Actionist actions (list devices, download logs, get issues) apply.
Is device data erasure in Bugfender reversible?
Device data erasure in Bugfender is permanent — once the erase action completes, all logs and device metadata associated with that device UID are deleted from Bugfender's servers and cannot be recovered. Actionist surfaces this as a write action that requires explicit confirmation before executing. Use it as part of a GDPR right-to-erasure workflow: receive a deletion request, look up the customer's device UIDs, call Erase Device Data, and log the action and timestamp in your compliance system.
