Snyk's native Slack integration posts vulnerability findings to Slack channels. Configure it in Snyk Settings → Integrations → Slack: select a workspace, choose a channel, pick severity thresholds. New critical and high-severity vulnerabilities, license issues, and IaC misconfigurations appear in that Slack channel in real time.
Snyk has no equivalent native Microsoft Teams integration.
There is no Snyk Teams app in the Microsoft Teams app store for vulnerability notifications. There is no built-in Snyk destination that posts findings to Teams channels. For organizations where developers or security engineers use Slack but engineering managers, compliance officers, or leadership use Teams — Snyk findings are Slack-only.
The Visibility Gap
The gap is most acute in three organizational patterns:
Mixed-platform enterprises: Security engineering on Slack; engineering management and compliance on Teams. When Snyk surfaces a critical vulnerability in a production dependency, the finding reaches the security channel in Slack. Engineering managers making prioritization decisions about remediation see nothing unless someone manually escalates.
Post-merger environments: Acquiring company on Slack; acquired engineering team on Teams (or vice versa). A vulnerability discovered in either organization's codebase needs to reach both security teams simultaneously for coordinated remediation. Snyk's Slack integration covers only one side.
Developer-to-security escalation: Developers review PR check failures in Slack. Security leadership tracks vulnerability backlog in Teams. Snyk surfaces both events — but only in Slack, creating a two-platform tracking gap for remediation progress.
Snyk Webhooks: The Path to Teams
Snyk supports outbound webhooks (Settings → Integrations → Webhooks) that fire HTTP POST requests to any HTTPS endpoint when security events occur. The webhook payload includes vulnerability metadata: CVE, severity score, affected package, fix availability, project name.
Point the webhook at a Teams-side target that accepts the payload and posts a message: a Teams Workflows or incoming-webhook flow, or a small relay you host that applies a severity filter. SyncRivo is not that target — it has no inbound webhook endpoint for security events, no severity routing rules, and it does not relay messages posted by bots or apps.
A working severity-based split, applied in the Teams-side flow:
- Critical vulnerabilities → Slack #security-alerts (native) and Teams Security Engineering channel (webhook)
- High vulnerabilities → Slack #security-alerts (Teams escalation only if production-scope)
- License violations → Slack #security and Teams Compliance channel
- IaC misconfigurations → Slack #platform-team and Teams Security Compliance channel
Coexisting with the Native Slack Integration
Snyk's native Slack integration supports interactive Slack actions — marking a finding as ignored directly from Slack, opening in Snyk with one click. These interactive features require the native integration.
The webhook path to Teams runs in parallel without conflict. Use the native Slack integration for Slack-specific interactive features; use the webhook for Teams delivery. Both paths receive the same findings independently.
Where SyncRivo Fits (and Where It Doesn't)
What SyncRivo bridges is the human conversation about remediation. Connect Slack #security-alerts to the Teams Security Engineering channel, and the discussion that follows a critical finding — the security engineer's "this is reachable from the public API", the engineering manager's "can we ship the patch before Friday?", the compliance officer's exception request — is visible on both platforms, in both directions, with threads, edits, files, and @mentions kept in sync. The Snyk finding itself still arrives through the native Slack integration and the Teams-side webhook; SyncRivo does not copy it across.
For the Snyk webhook configuration reference, see the Snyk Security Alerts in Slack & Teams integration guide.
