# Sentry new issue notifications on your phone

> Get a push notification whenever Sentry sees a brand-new issue, with priority based on Sentry's own issue priority.

- Company: Sentry (https://www.justpush.io/recipes/sentry)
- Event: `issue.created` (Issue created)
- Tags: Developer tools, Monitoring
- Install: https://studio.justpush.io/recipes/sentry/new-issue
- Web page: https://www.justpush.io/recipes/sentry/new-issue

## Setup

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 (shown in Studio after install) as the Webhook URL and follow the setup notes below for Issue created.
4. Save the integration.
5. In your internal integration (**Settings → Developer Settings → Custom Integrations**), give it **Issue & Event: Read** permission, tick **issue** under **Webhooks**, and save.
6. This sends a push for **every** new issue across all projects. If that's too much, use the [issue alert](../issue-alert) recipe with an alert rule that filters what you care about.
7. Sentry signs each request with a `Sentry-Hook-Signature` header, but JustPush doesn't check it yet, so keep your endpoint URL private.

## Code

Studio calls `handleRequest(request)` with the incoming webhook (`{ method, headers, body, query, raw }`) and sends the message object it returns. Returning `null` sends nothing.

```js
// Sentry → new issue (issue.created)
// Fires when Sentry sees a new issue in any project, if your internal integration
// subscribes to the "issue" webhook.
// Docs: https://docs.sentry.io/organization/integrations/integration-platform/webhooks/issues/

// Sentry's own issue priority → push priority.
const PRIORITIES = { high: 1, medium: 0, low: -1 }

// Look a key up in one of the tables above, ignoring inherited names like "toString".
function pick(table, key, fallback) {
    return Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(table, key) ? table[key] : fallback
}

// Only link to real http(s) URLs.
function link(url, cta) {
    return typeof url === "string" && /^https?:\/\//.test(url) ? [{ cta, url }] : []
}

function handleRequest(request) {
    const body = request.body || {}
    const issue = body.data?.issue

    // Guard: only newly created issues, not resolved/assigned/archived updates.
    if (body.action !== "created" || !issue) {
        console.log(`Ignoring Sentry "${body.action ?? "unknown"}" webhook — not a new issue`)
        return null
    }

    const project = issue.project?.name ?? issue.project?.slug
    const where = [project, issue.culprit].filter((part) => typeof part === "string" && part.trim())

    return {
        title: `🐛 New issue${issue.shortId ? ` ${issue.shortId}` : ""}`,
        message: (issue.title || "Untitled issue") + (where.length ? ` — ${where.join(" · ")}` : ""),
        topic: "Sentry",
        // Every new issue pushes, so lean on Sentry's priority to keep the noise down.
        priority: pick(PRIORITIES, issue.priority, 0),
        buttons: link(issue.permalink ?? issue.web_url, "View issue"),
    }
}
```
