Sentry's native integrations post error, performance, and deploy alerts to Slack and Teams. SyncRivo bridges the human discussion between chat platforms, so engineering and SRE teams on different platforms can work the same issue together.

Sentry Event Types Teams Discuss

Sentry posts these through its own integrations. SyncRivo does not relay bot or app messages; it bridges the human discussion.

New Error Event

New unhandled exceptions and error events in production that Sentry posts to on-call channels.

Error Threshold Exceeded

Error rate spike alerts (e.g., a rising error rate over a time window) that on-call teams respond to.

Issue Resolved

Sentry issue resolved events that tell engineers a reported error has been fixed and closed.

Performance Alert

P95 latency regressions and transaction throughput degradations that performance and product teams discuss.

Deploy Alert

New release deployment alerts — including post-deploy error rate comparisons — for the deploying team.

Issue Assigned

Sentry issue assignment changes that Sentry notifies the assigned engineer about.

How to Connect Sentry Discussions Across Slack & Teams

Sentry posts the alerts; SyncRivo bridges the conversation. Your first channel bridge is typically live during onboarding, once your Slack/Teams admins approve the app.

  1. 1
    Add Sentry's Slack integration to your alert rules
    In Sentry, install the native Slack integration and add a Slack action to the relevant alert rules.
  2. 2
    Add Sentry's Teams integration to your alert rules
    Install Sentry's native Microsoft Teams integration and add a Teams action to the same alert rules.
  3. 3
    Connect Slack and Teams to SyncRivo
    Book a demo to start a guided pilot. Your Slack and Microsoft Teams admins approve the SyncRivo apps. SyncRivo does not relay messages posted by bots and apps such as Sentry.
  4. 4
    Bridge the channels where errors are discussed
    Bridge the incidents Slack channel with the SRE Teams channel so both teams can discuss errors in one conversation.
  5. 5
    Test the bridged conversation
    Post a human reply in the Slack channel and confirm it appears in the bridged Teams channel, then reply from Teams.

Sentry → Messaging Platform Matrix

Example setup: Sentry's native integrations post each alert; SyncRivo bridges the human discussion between the channels.

Sentry EventSentry Integration Posts ToResult
Fatal / Critical error→ Slack #incidents + Teams #sre-leadershipOn-call and leadership discuss it in the bridged channel
Error threshold exceeded→ Slack #alerts + Teams #engineering-opsError spike discussed across both platforms
New error (warning)→ Slack #engineeringDev team sees new issues on their native platform
Performance regression→ Slack #performance + Teams #productEngineering and product discuss the regression together
Issue resolved→ Slack #incidentsResolution confirmation closes the loop for on-call team
Deploy alert (post-deploy errors)→ Slack #deploys + Teams #sreDeploying team and SRE coordinate in the bridged channel

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Sentry have a Microsoft Teams integration?▾

Sentry supports Microsoft Teams as an alert destination via its built-in integrations, alongside its native Slack integration. SyncRivo does not relay Sentry alerts — messages posted by bots and apps are not bridged. Sentry's native Slack and Teams integrations post the alerts; SyncRivo bridges the human discussion between chat platforms, so engineers on Slack and SREs on Teams (post-merger or mixed-platform) can work the error in one bridged channel.

How do I route Sentry error alerts to both Slack and Microsoft Teams?▾

In Sentry, add actions for both the native Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations to your alert rules (Alerts → Alert Rules). SyncRivo does not relay Sentry alerts — messages posted by bots and apps are not bridged. SyncRivo does not accept Sentry webhooks; it bridges the human conversation between Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom Team Chat.

Can SyncRivo route Sentry alerts to different channels based on error severity?▾

No. Severity-based routing is configured in Sentry alert rules (for example critical errors to #incidents, warnings to #alerts). SyncRivo has no alert routing rules and does not relay bot or app messages; it bridges the human discussion between the channels where your teams work.

What Sentry event types can SyncRivo route to messaging platforms?▾

None. SyncRivo does not relay Sentry alerts — messages posted by bots and apps are not bridged. Sentry's own integrations cover new error events, issue resolved, issue assigned, error threshold alerts, performance regression alerts, release alerts, and cron monitor failures. SyncRivo bridges the human discussion that follows.

How does SyncRivo help post-merger teams using Sentry across Slack and Teams organizations?▾

Post-M&A, the acquired engineering team often uses a different messaging platform. Sentry's native Slack and Teams integrations post alerts on each side; SyncRivo bridges the channels where the teams discuss errors, so the Slack-using engineering team and the Teams-using SRE team can talk in one conversation on their preferred platforms.

Can Sentry alerts from multiple projects reach one SyncRivo endpoint?▾

No. SyncRivo does not provide inbound webhook endpoints. Configure project, environment, and severity routing in Sentry alert rules with its native Slack and Teams integrations; use SyncRivo to bridge the human conversation between chat platforms.
