Introduction
Turn noisy API errors into clear, actionable Slack alerts while keeping a searchable error log in Google Sheets. ✅
Trigger Event
An incoming webhook posts an error payload (org, bridge/agent, service, API name, error message, environment).
Actions
- The workflow checks if this error already exists for the same org and bridge. If found, it increments the error count; if not, it creates a fresh error record.
- Based on simple environment and org rules, it posts a concise alert to the right Slack channel so the team can act quickly.
- It captures a timestamp in IST and saves a clean row to Google Sheets with the message, environment, bridge ID, and error for later review and reporting.
- When counts reach set thresholds, the flow can escalate alerts, helping you spot repeated failures fast.
Benefits
- Faster incident response with instant Slack alerts
- Clear visibility of repeat errors via running counts
- Searchable audit trail in Google Sheets for trend analysis
- Fewer manual checks; your team focuses on fixes, not hunting data
- Simple rules keep test noise out of production alerts
