Slack + Microsoft Teams + Google Chat Integration

Yes. SyncRivo bridges all three platforms simultaneously through a single channel mapping — there is no need to chain pairwise integrations. A message sent in Slack appears in both the mapped Microsoft Teams channel and the mapped Google Chat space typically within seconds, and the same applies in reverse for any direction: a Teams message reaches Slack and Google Chat in real time, and a Google Chat message reaches Slack and Teams. The routing topology is configured per channel mapping in the SyncRivo dashboard, so different bridges can have different fan-out shapes — some channels can be three-way, others can stay pairwise. Messages flow through a stateful sync engine rather than a stateless trigger-action pipeline, which is what allows three-way bridges to remain stable at production volume without duplicate or recursive delivery between the three platforms.

You need OAuth authorization with sufficient permissions on each platform, but not necessarily full tenant-admin access. The required scopes are: Slack (channels:history, chat:write, files:read at minimum — installable as a workspace app by an admin), Microsoft Teams (ChannelMessage.Read.All and ChannelMessage.Send via the Microsoft Graph API, granted by an Azure AD admin), and Google Chat (a Google Workspace admin approves the SyncRivo app from the Google Workspace Marketplace). Setup is one-time per platform; the first channel bridge is typically live during onboarding, once the admins on each platform approve the app. SyncRivo never requests broader permissions than it needs — for example, the Slack app does not request access to direct messages or private channels unless those are the channels you intend to bridge. All granted permissions are visible in each platform's admin console and can be revoked at any time, which immediately disables the bridge.

Yes. Thread replies are preserved and routed to the correct thread context in each platform — a reply posted in a Slack thread appears as a reply in the corresponding Microsoft Teams thread and the matching Google Chat thread, not as a top-level message. SyncRivo maintains a persistent message-pair map for every routed message, so when a reply event fires it is correlated to the original parent message across all three platforms before being delivered. SyncRivo also handles edits and deletions inside threads with the same correlation logic, so an edit to a thread reply in Slack updates the corresponding reply in Teams and Google Chat.

Absolutely. SyncRivo bridges are configured at the individual channel and space level, not at the workspace or tenant level. In the dashboard you select exactly which Slack channels, Microsoft Teams channels, and Google Chat spaces should be part of each bridge mapping — every other channel in each platform is completely untouched and SyncRivo has no visibility into them. This per-channel scope is critical for compliance and security review: it means you can bridge a single cross-functional project channel between three platforms without giving SyncRivo (or the bridge participants) any access to private channels, sensitive HR discussions, executive channels, or unrelated team channels in any of the three workspaces. New bridges can be added incrementally as needs arise — for example, starting with one pilot channel and expanding to a full department over weeks, rather than committing to a workspace-wide deployment up front.

Yes. Files shared in any of the three platforms are relayed to the other two. SyncRivo downloads the file from the source platform and uploads it to each destination; file bytes pass through memory only and are never stored on SyncRivo infrastructure. File attachments can be switched off per connection by an admin.

Yes. This is one of the most common SyncRivo deployment scenarios — particularly during mergers, acquisitions, or multi-vendor partner engagements. Typical setup: an acquirer running on Microsoft Teams, an acquired company running on Slack, and an external partner or supplier running on Google Chat. SyncRivo bridges all three without requiring any user to install a new app, switch platforms, learn a new interface, or even know that the other parties are on different tools. Each user simply continues to message in their native platform, and the messages route invisibly across the bridge. There is no shared guest account, no requirement to add external users to internal directories, and cross-organization bridges only need a partner connection that the admins of both organizations accept. This is why SyncRivo is frequently used for time-bounded engagements like M&A integration, joint ventures, and external advisory partnerships where directory federation would be operationally and politically impractical.

SyncRivo offers a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for Enterprise customers. SyncRivo does not currently hold a SOC 2 report; we provide a security questionnaire and architecture review on request. Message content is not stored on the normal relay path — only message IDs are kept to sync threads, edits and reactions, and an optional retry queue holds undelivered messages temporarily. Delivered messages are retained under each destination platform's existing retention policy and eDiscovery setup. SyncRivo provides an activity log and security event history (JSON export), owner/admin/member roles, and Google sign-in with optional MFA. Processing is hosted in the US (Google Cloud us-central1).

Zapier and Make use a linear trigger-action automation model: when event X happens in platform A, perform action Y in platform B. Evaluate their current capabilities on each vendor's site. SyncRivo was purpose-built as a stateful synchronization engine for real-time bidirectional messaging, with support for threads, @mentions, edits, deletions, attachments, reactions (not yet on Webex), and sender names across all five platforms. The architectural difference is the difference between a workflow automation tool and a dedicated communications interoperability layer — they solve genuinely different problems.
