# Heroku Plugin

## [Deprecation Warning](https://develop.sentry.dev/integrations/heroku.md#deprecation-warning)

Heroku plugin is deprecated and will be removed on October 25, 2025. This plugin automatically tracked releases and deployments from your Heroku apps in Sentry, linking them to error tracking and performance monitoring. You can still use Sentry with Heroku by setting up [Releases](https://docs.sentry.io/product/releases/). Releases let you track versions, commits, crash-free sessions, and more.

## [Create a Heroku application](https://develop.sentry.dev/integrations/heroku.md#create-a-heroku-application)

Create an account on [Heroku](http://www.heroku.com) and create an app.

Follow the [instructions](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git) to set up a Heroku app using the command line tool and deploy process.

**NOTE**: If you're doing local Sentry development, ensure Heroku webhooks can call your local Sentry environment by using a service like Ngrok to expose your local environment to the internet.

## [Set up the Sentry plugin](https://develop.sentry.dev/integrations/heroku.md#set-up-the-sentry-plugin)

Create a Sentry project that will be associated with your Heroku app, taking note of the project DSN.

Update your Heroku application configuration variables by going through the Heroku Dashboard >> Settings >> Reveal Config Vars and ensure the `SENTRY_DSN` variable to points to your domain's DSN for your project, and not sentry.io.

Follow our [documentation on configuring the Heroku plugin](https://docs.sentry.io/product/integrations/deployment/heroku/) to setup and install the plugin.

Deploy a change to your Heroku app which triggers a deploy in Heroku. The Heroku webhooks will callback Sentry to create a new release.
