DESCRIBE YOUR PR

Addresses user feedback (DOCS-AQ5) from https://docs.sentry.io/integrations/integration-platform/webhooks/metric-alerts/ asking about the difference between metric_alert.id and metric_alert.identifier.

  • Added attribute entry for data['metric_alert']['id']: the internal database ID of the incident
  • Added attribute entry for data['metric_alert']['identifier']: the organization-scoped sequential incident number used in the Sentry UI and in web_url paths

Both fields appeared in the example payload but were undocumented in the Attributes section.

IS YOUR CHANGE URGENT?

  • None: Not urgent, can wait up to 1 week+

PRE-MERGE CHECKLIST

  • Checked Vercel preview for correctness, including links
  • PR was reviewed and approved by any necessary SMEs
  • PR was reviewed and approved by a member of the docs team
Open in Web View Automation 

Add missing attribute entries for id and identifier on the metric_alert
object. The id is the internal database ID of the incident, while
identifier is the organization-scoped sequential incident number used in
the Sentry UI and in web_url paths.
