How it works

Three steps to your first push

STEP 01

Install the recipe

One click in Studio gives you a personal webhook URL.

STEP 02

Paste your URL into BugSnag

Add it as a webhook for Rate limit.

STEP 03

Get a push on your phone

With the text, sound and buttons from the recipe.

Setup

How to set up the BugSnag rate limit webhook

  1. Click Install in Studio and sign in. The recipe is added to your account and you get a personal webhook URL.
  2. In BugSnag, open your project's Settings > Integrations and data forwarding and choose Webhook.
  3. Paste your webhook URL as the webhook URL.https://••••••••/•••••••• your personal URL, shown after install
  4. Under notifications, pick the Rate limit triggers you want and save. Use Test to send a sample.
  5. On the webhook integration, turn on the **approaching rate limit** and **rate limited** notifications (`projectApproachingRateLimit` and `projectSamplingStarted`). Every other trigger is ignored by this recipe.
  6. BugSnag doesn't sign webhook requests, so keep your endpoint URL private.
The code

What runs when the webhook arrives

Studio calls handleRequest(request) with the incoming webhook and sends the message it returns. It's yours after install; change anything.

transform.js
1// BugSnag → rate limiting
2// Fires when a BugSnag project is close to its event rate limit, or has started
3// sampling (dropping) events because it hit it.
