Integration guide

Sentry → WakeHook

Sentry catches the exception the moment it happens. What it can't do is wake anyone up about it — an email or a Slack message is exactly as loud as everything else in that channel. Point a Sentry alert rule's webhook action at WakeHook and a fatal issue rings a phone until someone acknowledges it.

Set it up

In your WakeHook dashboard, open Sources → Add source, name it Sentry, and pick the Sentry preset. Copy the Webhook URL — shown once, in full.
In Sentry, go to Alerts → Create Alert Rule (issue alert, not metric alert). Under Then perform these actions, add Send a notification via an integration → Webhook, or use a plain Send a notification to a webhook action if your plan doesn't have the Integration Platform, and paste your URL.
Scope the rule to whichever projects/environments should page a human — typically "a new issue is created" or "issue changes state to unresolved," restricted to production.
Trigger a real error in that environment (or use Sentry's own Send Test Notification where available) and confirm a TRIGGERED incident lands in your dashboard.

This covers Sentry's issue alerts — the ones that fire on a new or regressed error. Metric alerts (a rate crossing a threshold) use a different payload shape Sentry doesn't send from issue rules, and aren't mapped by this preset yet.

What WakeHook reads from it

WakeHook field	Comes from	Notes
title	`data.issue.title`
body	`data.issue.culprit`	The function/transaction where it happened
severity	`data.issue.level`	`fatal` → critical, `error` → high, `warning` → low, `info`/`debug` → info
status	`data.issue.status`	Only an explicit `resolved` clears the incident
dedup_key	`data.issue.shortId`	Sentry's own stable issue key — repeat occurrences of the same issue stay one incident
link	`data.issue.web_url`	Jumps straight to the issue in Sentry
tags	project + issue type
