Fly.io is CLI-first with no built-in webhook delivery for deployment events, no Slack integration, and no Teams integration. Your CI/CD pipeline or uptime monitor posts deploy results and Machine health events to chat. SyncRivo does not relay those notifications; it bridges the human deploy discussion between Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom Team Chat.
Fly.io Deployment Events Teams Discuss
Your GitHub Actions steps or external health monitoring post these to the channel you configure. SyncRivo does not relay bot or app messages; it bridges the human discussion that follows across Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom Team Chat.
Deploy Succeeded
Fly deploy completed successfully in your CI/CD pipeline. Production deploys are what the deploys channel on Slack and the engineering releases audience on Teams discuss.
Deploy Failed
Fly deploy returned a non-zero exit code (build failed, image push failed, health check timed out). On-call engineers on Slack and engineering leads on Teams work through it together.
Machine Health Failed
Fly Machine health check failure detected via external monitoring, discussed by on-call on Slack and the infrastructure audience on Teams.
Machine Restarted
Fly Machine restarted after a health failure or OOM kill, an application-level instability signal that platform engineering and infrastructure teams follow up on.
Rollback Triggered
Fly deploy rollback executed after a health check failure. Stakeholders on both Slack and Teams want to talk about the revert.
Preview/Branch Deploy
Deployments from non-main branches via GitHub Actions. High-frequency and developer-focused; usually discussed on Slack only.
How to Discuss Fly.io Deploys Across Slack and Teams
No changes to fly.toml. Your GitHub Actions workflow posts the notification; SyncRivo bridges the conversation. Your first channel bridge is typically live during onboarding, once your Slack and Teams admins approve the app.
- 1
Add notification steps to your GitHub Actions workflow
In your .github/workflows/deploy.yml, after the `flyctl deploy` step, add a run step that posts to a Slack incoming webhook or a Teams Incoming Webhook you operate. Include app name, environment (production/staging/preview), commit SHA, branch name, actor, and deploy result. Use GitHub's `if: success()` and `if: failure()` conditions to differentiate. SyncRivo does not receive these webhooks.

Connect Slack and Teams to SyncRivo
Book a demo to start a guided pilot. Your Slack and Microsoft Teams admins approve the SyncRivo apps. SyncRivo bridges human messages; messages posted by bots and apps such as your CI step are not relayed.
- 3
Bridge the channels where deploys are discussed
Bridge the Slack #deploys or #on-call channel with the Teams Engineering Releases or Engineering Leads channel. Keep high-frequency preview/branch channels unbridged if Teams-side stakeholders do not need them.
- 4
Test the bridged conversation
Post a human message in the Slack channel and confirm it appears in the bridged Teams channel, then reply from Teams. Threads, edits, files, and mentions sync both ways. For machine health, point your external uptime checker at the same Slack or Teams channel.
Deploy Discussion Audience Matrix
Example for a mixed Slack/Teams engineering organization: where your CI step or monitor posts each event, and which Teams channel you bridge so the right people can join the discussion. SyncRivo bridges the human conversation between these channels; it does not deliver the events.
| Event | Environment | Slack channel (CI/monitor posts) | Teams channel (bridged for discussion) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deploy Succeeded | Production | ✓ #deploys | ✓ Engineering Releases |
| Deploy Succeeded | Staging | ✓ #deploys | — |
| Deploy Succeeded | Preview/Branch | ✓ #fly-devs | — |
| Deploy Failed | Any | ✓ #on-call | ✓ Engineering Leads |
| Rollback Triggered | Any | ✓ #on-call | ✓ Engineering Leads |
| Machine Health Failed | Any | ✓ #on-call | ✓ Infrastructure |
| Machine Restarted | Any | ✓ #platform-eng | ✓ Infrastructure |
Native Fly.io Notifications vs. SyncRivo
| Capability | Native Fly.io | With SyncRivo |
|---|---|---|
| Notify Slack | ✗ No native Slack integration; post from your CI step or uptime monitor | ✗ Not relayed (use your CI step or monitor) |
| Notify Microsoft Teams | ✗ No native Teams integration; post to a Teams Incoming Webhook you operate | ✗ Not relayed (bot/app messages are not bridged) |
| Notify Webex / Google Chat / Zoom | ✗ Not available natively | ✗ Not relayed |
| Single deploy event → Slack AND Teams simultaneously | ✗ No built-in webhook delivery system | ✗ Not offered |
| Production deploys → Teams, preview → Slack only | ✗ No platform-side routing rules | ✗ Not offered |
| Human deploy discussion across Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, Zoom | ✗ Not available natively | ✓ Bridged human conversation (threads, edits, files, mentions) |
| Developers on Slack, leadership and QA on Teams, one conversation | ✗ Separate channels, no shared discussion | ✓ Bridge the deploys and on-call channels |
| Zero code changes to fly.toml | ✓ fly.toml is unchanged | ✓ SyncRivo connects to the chat platforms only |
