The Discord integration connects your Sentry organization to a Discord server. It posts alert notifications to channels, supports interactive message actions, and allows you to link your Discord identity to your Sentry account.

​
Features

Alert notifications

Route Sentry alerts to any Discord channel based on alert rule conditions.

Interactive messages

Assign, ignore, and resolve Sentry issues directly from Discord messages.

Slash commands

Use /link, /unlink, and /help commands to manage your Sentry identity from Discord.

​
Bot permissions

The Sentry Discord bot requires the following permissions to function correctly:
PermissionPurpose
View ChannelsRead channel information to post messages.
Send MessagesPost alert notifications and replies.

Installation

1

Navigate to integrations

In Sentry, go to Settings > Integrations and find Discord in the Notifications group. Click Install.
2

Authorize the bot

Sentry redirects you to Discord’s OAuth page. Select the Discord server where you want to add the Sentry bot and click Authorize. You must have Manage Server permission on the Discord server.
3

Confirm the installation

After authorization, Sentry redirects you back and the server appears as connected. The Sentry bot is now a member of your Discord server.
The Sentry bot will only appear in channels it has been granted access to. Make sure the bot role has permission to read and write in the channels you want to use for alerts.

​

To find a channel ID in Discord, enable Developer Mode in User Settings > App Settings > Advanced, then right-click the channel and select Copy Channel ID.
