Why am I getting the message "Unable to Save Alert: Each trigger must have an associated action for this alert to fire."?

Issue

I get the following error message when creating a Metric alert in Sentry: Each trigger must have an associated action for this alert to fire.

Applies To

  • Metric alerts.

  • All Paid Plans

  • Sponsored Plans.

Resolution

The message appears when you try to create an alert with two trigger thresholds: Critical and Warning, and only one of those has an action in Step 4 "Set actions."

To solve the issue, add a new action for the missing trigger. You should have at least one action for Critical Status and Warning Status.
