Notifications

Sentry sends you notifications regarding workflow activities, release deploys, and quota usage, as well as weekly reports. These notifications let you know about:

  • Workflow: Activity involving user actions and state changes on issues. This includes activities such as issue resolution, assignment, comments, and regressions.
  • Deploy: When a release you have commits on is deployed.
  • Quota: Approaching quotas, exceeded quotas, and spike protection.
  • Weekly Reports: A summary of your organization's Sentry activity.

You can manage these notifications in User Settings > Notifications.

Workflow Notifications

Sentry sends workflow notifications to let you know about issue state changes. Workflow relates to actions that help you manage your issues, such as changing an issue’s state or commenting on it. By default, Sentry sends these notifications by email to members who are subscribed to the issue (see below for how subscription is determined). Workflow notifications are sent for:

  • Issue Resolved: When a new issue is spotted in your code, it's in the Unresolved state. The issue state changes to Resolved when a project team member resolves it, either by manually changing its state in sentry.io) or by submitting a fix, or because of the project’s auto-resolve feature (if configured).
  • Regressions: A regression happens when the state of an issue changes from Resolved back to Unresolved. An email is sent to all project team members.
  • Comments: When a team member adds a new comment in the “Activity” tab of the detail page for the issue.
  • Assignment: When an issue is assigned or unassigned.
  • User Feedback: When an issue has new user feedback.
  • Event Processing Problems: When there's a problem with processing error events you've sent to Sentry.

You receive workflow notifications when you’re subscribed to an issue, and you subscribe to issues by:

  • Clicking the subscribe bell icon on an issue
  • Involvement in a commit related to the issue
  • Commenting on or bookmarking the issue
  • Mention of you or your team in the issue
  • You or your team being assigned to the issue

These notifications may have some overlap with alerts that are configured for a project.
