Vovy connects Sentry to Slack and sets alert rules so you hear about new and spiking errors right away, without a channel full of noise.
Send my Sentry errors to a Slack channel, but only the important ones
How it works
- Create an alerts channel: Vovy opens Slack and creates a channel like #app-errors so alerts don't bury your team chat.
- Install the Slack integration: In Sentry under Settings and Integrations, it adds Slack, which needs a paid Sentry plan. You approve Slack's permission screen yourself.
- Alert on new issues: It creates an issue alert that fires when a brand-new error appears in production, the kind you always want to know about.
- Alert on spikes: A second rule fires when one error hits many users in an hour, so an old, rare bug does not ping you all day.
- Send a test alert: Vovy sends a test notification and shows you the Slack message, with its link straight to the error.
What you provide
- A Sentry project on the Team plan or higher

FAQ
Is the Slack integration free on Sentry?
No. Slack alerts need Sentry's Team plan or higher, about $26 a month. The free Developer plan only sends email alerts, so Vovy checks your plan first.
How do I stop getting spammed?
Alert on new issues and spikes, not every event, and resolve or ignore known issues so they stop firing.
Can I get alerts on my phone?
Yes, through the Slack mobile app notifications for that channel, or Sentry's own mobile app.
