Modem ingests user feedback submitted through Sentry into conversations and topics, the way sources like Slack or
GitHub are ingested. Sentry errors and issues are not ingested — capture of those is still planned. When you ask the agent about
Sentry issues or errors, it queries your Sentry organization live and the results stay in that conversation.
How it works
Modem connects to Sentry as a published Sentry Integration Platform app, installed once for your Sentry organization. A Sentry admin approves the installation, and installing the app is also what grants Modem access. There is no separate authorization step. Modem stores the installation’s access token encrypted and refreshes it automatically in the background, so the connection normally stays authenticated without any action from you. Each Modem organization connects to one Sentry organization. When you ask the agent about Sentry, it calls Sentry’s REST API with that connection’s credentials, scoped to the connected Sentry organization only.Prerequisites
- Owner or admin role in your Modem organization, to connect and manage the integration
- A Sentry admin to approve the app installation in your Sentry organization
- Beta access enabled for your Modem organization (see the note above)
Setup
1
Start the connection
Go to Settings → Integrations → Sentry in your Modem dashboard and click Connect. Only organization owners and
admins can connect.
2
Approve the installation in Sentry
You’ll be redirected to Sentry’s install page for the Modem app. A Sentry admin approves the installation there, which also grants
Modem access in the same action.
3
Confirm the connection
Sentry redirects you back to Modem automatically once the app finishes installing. The settings page shows the connected Sentry
organization.
4
Ask the agent
Ask the Modem Agent about your errors from the web dashboard, Slack, or anywhere else you talk to it. See Working with Sentry
Data below.
Working with Sentry Data
Once connected, the agent can reach Sentry’s REST API on your behalf. Common things to ask for:- Search issues: unresolved errors, new regressions, issues on a specific release or environment, the noisiest unassigned issues
- Dig into one issue: title, culprit, event and affected-user counts, stack traces and breadcrumbs from sample events
- Review user feedback: reports submitted through Sentry’s user feedback feature
- Size a problem: how many events and users an issue touched, and over what window
Taking action
The agent can also change things in Sentry: resolve or ignore an issue, assign it to a person or team, or set its priority. Every write requires your explicit approval first. The agent shows you exactly what will change and waits for you to confirm before it calls Sentry. Read-only queries never require approval.Permissions
Modem accesses:- Issues and error events
- User feedback items
- Project metadata
- Source code
- Organization billing information
- Sentry account credentials
Troubleshooting
I don't see Sentry in Integrations
I don't see Sentry in Integrations
The integration is in beta and enabled per organization. Email support@modem.dev to request access. Once
enabled, the Sentry card appears under Settings → Integrations in the Code & Coding Agents category.
The installation was rejected in Sentry
The installation was rejected in Sentry
The person approving the installation needs admin rights in your Sentry organization. Ask a Sentry admin to complete the install
step.
The agent says Sentry is not connected
The agent says Sentry is not connected
Either Sentry was never connected for your organization, or the installation was removed on the Sentry side and the stored token was
revoked. Reconnect from Settings → Integrations → Sentry.
The agent gets a permission error on a write

A 403 from Sentry means the installation’s scopes don’t cover that change. Reads keep working. If your team needs a write the app
can’t perform, contact support@modem.dev.
Sentry issues aren't showing up in Topics
Sentry issues aren't showing up in Topics
That’s expected: only user feedback is ingested into Modem’s conversations and topics. Sentry errors and issues are not, so ask
the agent about them directly instead. If feedback submitted after you connected Sentry isn’t appearing either, contact
support@modem.dev — feedback ingestion is rolled out per organization during the beta.
Disconnecting
To disconnect Sentry:- Go to Settings → Integrations → Sentry
- Click Disconnect and confirm
