Platform Integrations

Integrate Sentry alerts with popular communication and incident response platforms to ensure your team receives security notifications where they work.

Slack Integration

Incoming Webhooks:

1. Create Slack App or use Incoming Webhooks

2. Get webhook URL from Slack

3. Add URL to Sentry webhook configuration

4. Transform Sentry payload to Slack format

Example Slack Message:

{
  "text": "🚨 Security Alert",
  "blocks": [
    {
      "type": "header",
      "text": {
        "type": "plain_text",
        "text": "New Breach Detected"
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "section",
      "text": {
        "type": "mrkdwn",
        "text": "*Email:* [email protected]\n*Service:* Dropbox\n*Severity:* HIGH"
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "actions",
      "elements": [
        {
          "type": "button",
          "text": {"type": "plain_text", "text": "View in Sentry"},
          "url": "https://sentry.example.com/alerts/alert_xyz789"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Discord Integration

Discord Webhooks:

1. Create webhook in Discord channel settings

2. Copy webhook URL

3. Add to Sentry

4. Customize message formatting

Example Discord Embed:

{
  "embeds": [{
    "title": "🛡️ Security Alert",
    "description": "New credential breach detected",
    "color": 15158332,
    "fields": [
      {"name": "Severity", "value": "HIGH", "inline": true},
      {"name": "Type", "value": "Breach", "inline": true},
      {"name": "Email", "value": "[email protected]"},
      {"name": "Service", "value": "Dropbox"}
    ],
    "timestamp": "2026-01-07T10:30:00Z"
  }]
}

PagerDuty Integration

Events API:
