Sentry LastEventId by Type

[hajimeku]

Hey!
I am trying to find a way on how I could integrate https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/unity/enriching-events/user-feedback/ into my application.

I figured out that I could do
var eventId = SentrySdk.LastEventId;
And then send this eventId to CaptureUserFeedback

The problem I have now is that I would like to only do this for specific uncaught exceptions or crashes the user might have experienced. Is there any way to detect this?
If I cant detect this the last eventId is usually some texture not being able to load from an avatar for example.

You can use the BeforeSend hook to examine captured events on their way to be sent to Sentry, and retain the event ID based on whatever logic you choose.

First set up programmatic configuration, then set up a BeforeSend hook such as:

options.BeforeSend = sentryEvent =>
{
    // Whatever logic you want 
    if (sentryEvent.Exception is SomeException)
    {
        // Save the EventId property somewhere in your own code that you can access later
        SomeClass.LastSentryEventId = sentryEvent.EventId;
    }

    // Return the original event so it still gets sent to Sentry
    return sentryEvent;
};

Also, I just noticed that even though we documented its usage, the Exception property is hidden from some IDEs. Fixing that with getsentry/sentry-dotnet#2011 for the next release. It is safe to use either way.

thanks Matt! This will solve my issue

I'm trying to make sense of how I should use this feature.
Is it common that this is used as a bug-reporting tool?

I tried to use
SentrySdk.CaptureUserFeedback(SentryId.Empty, "testmail@azerion.com", "There is a comment here", "Apollo");

But have not received any user feedback.

Instead of SentryId.Empty, pass the actual ID of the associated event.

This solved it yea! We thought it would only be an extra piece of information.
