Overview

The Sentry integration lets Tembo monitor new issues in your Sentry organization and open pull requests with code fixes and improvements. On the SaaS platform this is pre-configured — on self-hosted you need to create your own Sentry integration and point it at your instance.

Step 1: Create a Sentry Integration

  1. Go to Sentry > Organization Settings > Developer Settings > New Integration
  2. Choose Public Integration (not Internal — Tembo relies on the install/authorize flow that only public integrations support)

Name

Choose a name, e.g. Tembo (self-hosted). The slug generated from this name is your appName — note it, you’ll need it for the config.

Webhook URL

Redirect URL

This is where Sentry redirects after a user installs and authorizes the integration.

Permissions

Set:

Webhooks

Under Resource Subscriptions, check Issue.

Create the integration

Click Save Changes.

Step 2: Generate a Client Secret

On the integration’s settings page, copy the Client ID and Client Secret. Save both — you will need them for the Tembo config.

Step 3: Configure Tembo

Open /var/lib/tembo/config.json (via the VS Code server at http://<your-instance-ip>:8888 or via SSH) and add the following keys:
After saving, restart the API:
Updating the config.json will also cause the instance API to restart automatically.

Step 4: Install the Integration

  1. In your Tembo instance, go to Settings > Integrations, find Sentry, and click Install
  2. Complete the Sentry install and authorization flow
Install from Tembo, not from Sentry’s own Integrations page — Tembo’s generated authorize URL carries a state token that ties the install back to your org. Starting from Sentry directly skips that and the callback will fail even with valid credentials.

Step 5: Verify

  1. Go to your Tembo instance and navigate to Settings > Integrations
  2. Confirm Sentry shows as connected
  3. Trigger a new issue in a project the integration can see and confirm Tembo picks it up
