Connect Sentry.io and Slack

Sentry.io catches exceptions and crashes in your apps. FlowMattic posts the Sentry.io events your team should see to Slack: new issues for the engineering channel, production errors for on-call, assignments to the assignee and resolutions for support. For product teams that triage bugs in Slack.

When Sentry.io fires Issue, FlowMattic runs Send Channel Message in Slack with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

Sentry.io and Slack workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Alert engineering for every new Sentry.io issue

A Filter passes only newly created issues, so the engineering channel sees each fresh bug once with its title, project and link, and resolved or ignored updates stay out.

Route production errors to the on-call channel

A Router reads the environment on each error. Production goes to on-call, staging goes to the developers' channel, so on-call only wakes up for customers' problems.

DM the developer an issue is assigned to

When an issue is assigned, Find User by Email finds the assignee in Slack and a direct message gives them the issue and link, so ownership is clear.

Tell support when a customer-facing issue is resolved

Resolved issues post to the support channel, so agents can tell the customers who reported the bug that a fix is out.

Open a channel for a high-impact bug

For issues in a critical project, Create Channel names a channel after the issue and Set Channel Topic adds the Sentry.io link, so the investigation has its own room.

Post Sentry.io comments to the team channel

Comments on issues often hold the root cause. Posting new comments to the team channel shares findings with people who do not watch Sentry.io.

Set up: new issues to engineering

At the end, every new Sentry.io issue posts its title, project and link to your engineering channel, and other issue updates are skipped.

  1. Connect Slack

    Under Connects in FlowMattic, add a Slack connection for your engineering workspace.

  2. Choose the Issue trigger

    Create a workflow with Sentry.io and the Issue trigger, then follow its instructions to send Sentry.io issue events to the workflow.

  3. Capture a test issue

    Raise a test exception in a project so FlowMattic captures the issue fields and the action value.

  4. Keep only new issues

    Add a Filter that continues only when the action is created.

  5. Post to Slack

    Add Send Channel Message, choose the channel, include the title, project, level and link, test it and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • The Issue trigger fires when an issue is created, resolved, assigned or ignored. Without a Filter on the action, one bug can post four times.
  • Error fires for every new error event, which can be many for one bug. Use Issue for alerts and keep Error for low-volume projects or a Filter on environment.
  • Comment fires on created, edited and deleted comments, so filter to created if you only want new findings posted.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Sentry.io and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Each bug reaches its owner

New issues reach the team, assignments reach the assignee and resolutions reach support, so every update has a reader.

Noise is a choice

Filters and Routers on action and environment decide what posts, so the channel holds the bugs people should act on.

Error spikes cost nothing extra

FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so a bad deploy that fires many events adds no per-task fee.

Common questions

How do I send Sentry.io alerts to Slack with FlowMattic?

Create a workflow with the Sentry.io Issue trigger, add a Filter for the created action, then Slack Send Channel Message with the issue title, project and link. Test with one exception and switch it on.

Can I alert only on production errors?

Yes. Add a Filter after the Error trigger that continues only when the environment is production, or a Router that sends each environment to its own channel.

Can a new error also go to a task tracker?

Yes. Add a step for your task app after the Slack message, for example a ClickUp task, so the bug is tracked as well as announced.

Can on-call be messaged directly?

Yes. Use Find User by Email with the on-call engineer's email, or a Lookup Table that maps the project to a person, then Send Direct Message.

What if my WordPress site is the app that is failing?

FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site, so if that site is down the workflow cannot run. Keep a direct Sentry.io alert for the site that hosts FlowMattic.
