When a new Sentry.io error is created, create a ClickUp task and ping the team in Slack

When Sentry.io reports a new error, FlowMattic creates a ClickUp task for it and posts a message in a Slack channel, so every error has a task to track and the team hears about it at once.

The When a new Sentry.io error is created, create a ClickUp task and ping the team in Slack workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 3 steps across Sentry.io, ClickUp, Slack — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Sentry is good at catching errors, but a dashboard alert is easy to miss and doesn't assign anyone. Developers end up copying error details into their task board by hand, or not at all. This workflow turns each new Sentry error into a ClickUp task and tells the team in Slack, so the fix gets tracked where the rest of your work lives.

The Sentry.io Error trigger fires when an error is created and passes its details to FlowMattic. Trigger a test error to see which values arrive, such as the error message, the project and a link back to Sentry.

The ClickUp Create Task step then adds a task, and the Slack step posts to a channel. Both ship unmapped. After import you choose the ClickUp list and map the error details into the task, then pick the Slack channel and write the message, for example with the error title and the new task's link from the ClickUp step.

Every error event Sentry sends creates one task and one message. A noisy project can fill your board quickly, so decide which errors this workflow should handle before turning it on.

Bug triage for a small dev team

A three-person team gets a ClickUp task in its Bugs list for each new Sentry error and picks owners during the morning check-in.

Agency client sites

An agency monitors client apps in Sentry and posts each error to the client's Slack channel, with the ClickUp task link so the developer can pick it up.

Release watch after a deploy

After shipping, engineers watch the Slack channel for new errors from the release and work through the ClickUp tasks the workflow created.

How this workflow runs

What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.

Step 1Trigger
Sentry.io Error
Starts a run for each new error your Sentry.io account reports. The error's details are handed to the next steps; send a test error to see what Sentry includes.
Step 2Action
ClickUp Create Task
Opens a ClickUp task for the error. The step ships unmapped: connect ClickUp, choose where the task goes, and map the Sentry error details into it.
Step 3Action
Slack Send Channel Message
Posts a message to a Slack channel about the new error. Pick the channel after import and map the error details and, if you like, the ClickUp task link from step 2.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Put a Filter between the Sentry trigger and the ClickUp step that continues only for the project or environment you care about, such as production. Errors it stops create no task and no Slack message.
If Sentry sends a link to the issue, map it into the ClickUp task, so whoever picks it up can open the full stack trace in one click.
For a private engineering channel, swap the last step for Slack's Send Private Channel Message action.

Questions about this workflow

Does every Sentry.io error create a ClickUp task?

Yes, as imported. Each error Sentry sends to the trigger runs both steps. Add a Filter between the trigger and the ClickUp step to limit it to certain projects or environments.

Will a repeated error create duplicate ClickUp tasks?

It can. The workflow doesn't check ClickUp for an existing task, so each error Sentry sends creates a new one. Test with a repeated error and review Task History to see how often it fires.

Can the Slack alert include the new ClickUp task?

Yes. The Slack step runs after Create Task, so you can map values ClickUp returned, such as the task's link or ID, into the message. A test run shows what the ClickUp step returns.

Do I need anything set up in Sentry.io first?

You need a Sentry account connected to the trigger in FlowMattic, following its setup steps. Send a test error afterwards to confirm runs appear in Task History.
