Snyk Routes Security Vulnerabilities to Slack. Your Teams Users Never See Them.

Snyk's native Slack integration routes 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 notification routing. There is no built-in Snyk webhook that routes 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 Bridge Path

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.

Configure a Snyk webhook pointing to SyncRivo. SyncRivo receives the payload and routes to Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom simultaneously based on routing rules.

Routing rules handle the severity-based audience split:

• Critical vulnerabilities → Slack #security-alerts + Teams Security Engineering channel simultaneously
• High vulnerabilities → Slack #security-alerts (Teams escalation only if production-scope)
• License violations → Slack #security + Teams Compliance channel simultaneously
• IaC misconfigurations → Slack #platform-team + 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 SyncRivo runs in parallel without conflict. Use the native Slack integration for Slack-specific interactive features; use the SyncRivo webhook path for Teams delivery and multi-platform routing. Both paths receive the same findings independently.
