Connect the GitHub task to its existing Sentry issue
When an engineering issue already identifies the Sentry issue it tracks, Notis can create the external issue link in Sentry. Keep the two references connected without copying identifiers between tools.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
Action
Create sentry external issue link
Links an existing sentry issue to an issue in an external service, or updates an existing link, requiring a configured sentry app installation `uuid`.
Why this helps
An error investigation and its code fix can live in separate systems, making it harder to follow the path from reported problem to engineering work.
- Connect an explicitly identified GitHub issue to its existing Sentry issue.
- Keep issue references together for easier investigation and follow-up.
- Create a link without deleting, resolving, or otherwise changing either issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Sentry to Notis once, and confirm the Sentry app installation is configured for external issue links.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language; instruct it to link only a new issue with your chosen label that explicitly contains a valid existing Sentry issue ID.
- 3Select the GitHub new issue trigger, filter for the linking label, and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real GitHub issue and known Sentry issue ID, then verify the cross-reference in Sentry.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow find the Sentry issue from the GitHub issue title?
Do not rely on title matching. Put the exact existing Sentry issue identifier in the GitHub issue and have Notis skip requests without a valid ID.
Does linking the issues resolve or update them?
No. The selected action creates or updates the external issue link. It does not resolve, close, or change the status of either issue.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Sentry. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Sentry actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Access project information
Retrieves detailed information for a sentry project, given its existing organization and project id or slug.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add organization member via email
Invites a new member (or re-invites an existing non-accepted member) to a sentry organization via email, allowing specification of organization and team roles.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Add or remove user email by id
Adds or removes a secondary email for an existing sentry user, determined by whether the email already exists for that user.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Add team member in organization
Adds an existing member of an organization to one of its teams; the member must already belong to the organization, and the team must also belong to that organization.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Add team to project
Grants a sentry team access to a sentry project within the specified sentry organization.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Create dashboard with widgets
Creates a sentry dashboard with widgets for an organization; `organization id or slug` and specified `project` ids must be valid, and `start`/`end` datetimes (if absolute range) must form a logical iso 8601 range.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Create external user for organization
Links a sentry user to an external identity provider's user within a sentry organization; the sentry user must be an organization member, an active integration for the provider must be configured, and `external id` is typically required for the external user.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Create organization alert rule
Creates a sentry metric alert rule for an organization, mandating a 'critical' trigger, typically for a single project, where actions may require sentry integrations.
