Sentry events, straight into Telegram
Every new error, issue resolution, or assignment — posted to Telegram the moment it happens. No Telegram app to install, no monthly automation subscription.
The gap this fills: Sentry doesn't ship an official Telegram app. If you want new error, issue resolution, or assignment to show up in Telegram the moment it happens, the usual options are a paid third-party bot, custom code, or routing everything through a $20–50/month automation platform just to move one webhook from one URL to another. ZestyGlue does exactly that one thing for $9/month.
What it looks like
ZestyGlue
Sentry — Issue.Created
TypeError: Cannot read property of undefined
checkout.js in processPayment
level: error
A real Sentry event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Telegram.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new Sentry → Telegram connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point Sentry at it. Go to Settings → Developer Settings → Create New Integration → Internal Integration, add a Webhook URL pointing to your ZestyGlue webhook URL, and check the resource subscriptions you want (e.g. Issue).
- Copy the Client Secret. Sentry generates a Client Secret for your internal integration — paste that into ZestyGlue's connector setup so every event can be verified as genuinely from Sentry.
- Point Telegram at ZestyGlue. Message @BotFather to create a bot and copy its token. Add the bot to your group or channel, then find its chat ID (e.g. via @userinfobot) and enter both into ZestyGlue.
Tip: Sentry's internal integrations are per-organization, so create one that subscribes to just the resources you care about (usually Issue) to avoid a noisy channel from every comment and assignment change.

Questions
Is my Sentry Client Secret safe with ZestyGlue?
It's encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption before it ever touches disk, it's never logged, and it's never displayed again in the dashboard after you enter it — only a masked placeholder is shown.
Does this replace Sentry's own Slack or email alerts?
No — it runs alongside anything else you have configured. It's useful for routing Sentry alerts into a destination Sentry doesn't natively integrate with, like Telegram, ntfy, or a Notion log.
Can I filter to only certain error levels?
Not at the ZestyGlue level — Sentry sends every event for the resources you subscribe to in the internal integration. Scope which resources you subscribe to on Sentry's side instead.
Does the bot need to be an admin in my group?
No, a regular member is enough for the bot to post messages. Admin rights are only needed for things like pinning messages, which ZestyGlue doesn't do.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on Sentry's side — Sentry never sees a failure response, so it won't retry aggressively or flag your webhook as broken. Your dashboard will simply stop showing new events until you resubscribe.
