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 Sentry

Add it as a webhook for Metric alert.

STEP 03

Get a push on your phone

With the text, sound and buttons from the recipe.

Setup

How to set up the Sentry metric alert 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 Sentry, go to Settings > Developer Settings > Custom Integrations and create an Internal Integration.
  3. Paste your webhook URL as the Webhook URL and follow the setup notes below for Metric alert.https://••••••••/•••••••• your personal URL, shown after install
  4. Save the integration.
  5. In your internal integration (**Settings → Developer Settings → Custom Integrations**), turn on **Alert Rule Action** and save.
  6. Then open a metric alert rule and, for its **Critical** and **Warning** thresholds, add the action **Send a notification via _your integration_**. Sentry also sends the resolved notification to the same action.
  7. Sentry signs each request with a `Sentry-Hook-Signature` header, but JustPush doesn't check it yet, 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.
