Learn how to be notified by BugSnag using a webhook.
The webhook plugin allows access to error and project data as soon as they are received and processed by BugSnag. The plugin sends a message to the specified URL containing information about the event, error, project and account.
The webhook plugin can be configured to fire whenever the following triggers occur.
| Event | Trigger Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| This project has a spike in errors | projectSpiking | An overall spike in all the errors that match your filter. |
| This project has a new release | release | A new release was created, either automatically from an error or session or via the Build API. |
| This project is being rate-limited | projectSamplingStarted | Your project is being rate-limited, if you have chosen rate limiting. |
| This project is close to being rate-limited | projectApproachingRateLimit | Your project is close to being rate-limited. Sent up to once per 2 hour period if you have chosen rate limiting and have a Standard or Enterprise plan. |
| A new error occurs | firstException | When the first event of an error (per release stage) matches your filters. |
| An error occurs frequently | errorEventFrequency | An error receives x events, or impacts x users, in y hours that match your filters, where you can define the number of events/users (x) and the time interval (y). A maximum of one notification will be triggered per time interval (y). |
| An error milestone is reached | powerTen | An error has occurred 10, 100, 1000 then each 1000 more times. |
| Every time an error occurs | exception | Every time an event matching your filters is received. |
| An error is automatically reopened | reopened | An error that has been marked as fixed or snoozed (and matches your filters) receives an event that causes the error to be reopened. |
| A collaborator comments on an error | comment | A collaborator on your project adds a comment to an error that matches your filter. |
| A collaborator changes the state of an error | errorState- ManualChange | A collaborator on your project manually changes the state of an error that matches your filter, for example marking an error as fixed. |
