CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Spin up a Slack war-room when a Sentry issue spikes during support hours

Watches for Sentry issue alerts and, when an error's event rate and affected-user count cross a threshold, opens a dedicated Slack channel pre-loaded with the crash group.

What it does

Turns a noisy Sentry alert into an organized incident response. When an issue's frequency and the number of distinct affected users exceed your thresholds, the workflow creates a focused Slack channel and seeds it with everything responders need: the crash group, the most recent breadcrumb trail, the affected-user count, and a link back to Sentry.

When to use it

Use it when a support or on-call team needs to react fast to emerging crashes rather than scrolling an alerts channel. It separates real incidents from background noise.

How it works

  1. 1A Sentry issue alert webhook triggers the run.
  2. 2The workflow reads the issue's event rate, affected-user count, and release.
  3. 3A threshold check decides whether this qualifies as an incident.
  4. 4If it does, a new Slack channel is created and the crash group, breadcrumbs, and impact summary are posted as the first message with the Sentry link pinned.
  5. 5The same summary is broadcast to the main support channel inviting responders to join.
