A production error appears in Airbrake while customers and staff are still using the affected application. Airbrake provides New Error as a trigger, allowing Zapier to pass the event to Mobile Message for a plain text SMS alert. This gives a selected engineer, manager or response list a direct notification when a new error reaches Airbrake.

The SMS can contain available information such as an error name, environment or link if those values are present in the trigger data. Airbrake has no actions in the supplied list, so this connection is designed for alerts that begin in Airbrake. It cannot create an Airbrake error, update an incident or send information back into Airbrake through the listed capabilities.

The workflow is set up through Zapier and operates in one direction. Choose carefully whether every new error should send a message or whether the Zap should be filtered elsewhere in your process. Keep the text short enough to help the recipient decide what to inspect next.
