Public API Support to create Sentry Integrations

[lkashiwa]

Problem Statement

Currently, the Sentry API does not support creating integrations. According to the documentation, integrations can only be listed, updated, or deleted, but not created.

This means integrations must first be created manually through the Sentry UI before they can be managed via the API. This introduces significant manual toil and reduces governance capabilities—especially for organizations that need to manage a large number of integrations.

Example

For instance, when teams want to configure alerts to be sent through an integration with an external webhook, each webhook requires its own integration. At the moment, each of these integrations must be created and maintained manually, which is inefficient and error-prone.

Suggested Improvement

• Adding support for integration creation through the API would:
• Reduce manual work and operational overhead.
• Improve governance and consistency across teams.
• Enable better automation for managing integrations at scale.

Integration installations require a lot of auth back and forth which is why we decided to not make them automatic. They're also not frequent enough actions and therefore automating and instrumenting them doesn't provide much value to prioritize.
