Your engineers work in Slack. DevOps management uses Microsoft Teams. Product relies on Google Chat. When a build fails or a PR merges, everyone needs to see it — and then talk about it.

GitHub posts notifications through its own Slack and Microsoft Teams apps and Actions. SyncRivo does not relay bot or app messages — it bridges the human conversation, so people on Slack, Teams, and Google Chat can discuss the build together in one bridged channel.

GitHub Events (via GitHub's Native Slack & Teams Apps)

Pull Request Events

PR opened, reviewed, approved, merged, closed — posted to dev team channels by GitHub's Slack and Teams apps.

Workflow Failures

CI/CD pipeline failures posted to #ci-failures in Slack and engineering Teams channels by GitHub's apps or Actions.

Deployment Status

Successful and failed deployments posted to release management and on-call channels by the native integrations.

Security Advisories

Dependabot security alerts and code scanning results delivered to security team channels by GitHub's integrations.

Release Events

New GitHub Releases posted to #releases in Slack and product Teams channels by the native apps.

Issue Activity

Issues opened or closed posted to subscribed channels — the start of discussions SyncRivo can bridge across platforms.

Setup: 5 Steps

Install the GitHub app for Slack

Install the GitHub app in Slack and use /github subscribe to follow repositories in the channels that need notifications.

Install the GitHub app for Microsoft Teams

Add the GitHub app in Teams and subscribe the Teams channels that need repository notifications.

Add Actions notification steps if needed

For workflow-specific messages, add a Slack or Teams notification step to your GitHub Actions workflow.

Connect Slack and Teams to SyncRivo

Connect your Slack workspace and Microsoft Teams tenant to SyncRivo. Workspace and tenant admins approve the apps.

Bridge the engineering discussion channel

Bridge the channel where engineers discuss builds and pull requests. Human replies sync both ways; the GitHub bot posts themselves are not relayed.

Example GitHub Channel Layout

Subscriptions configured in GitHub's native Slack and Teams apps. The "Other" column shows where the human discussion can be bridged by SyncRivo.

GitHub Event	Slack Channel	Teams Channel	Other
workflow_run failed	#ci-failures	Engineering General	—
workflow_run success	#ci-status (optional)	—	—
pull_request merged	#releases	Release Management	Discussion bridged to Google Chat Product space
pull_request opened	#code-review	—	—
release published	#releases	Stakeholder Updates	Discussion bridged to Webex Leadership space
security_advisory	#security	SecOps channel	—
deployment_status	#deployments	Platform Engineering	Discussion bridged to Zoom SRE channel

Using GitLab CI/CD?

GitLab has its own Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations for pipeline, merge request, and deployment notifications. SyncRivo does not accept GitLab webhooks; as with GitHub, it bridges the human discussion between chat platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I send GitHub Actions notifications to Microsoft Teams?

GitHub offers a GitHub app for Microsoft Teams, and the Marketplace has community Actions that post to a Teams Incoming Webhook URL. SyncRivo is not a webhook routing layer: it does not accept GitHub webhooks and does not relay messages posted by bots or apps. It bridges the human conversation, so engineers on Slack and DevOps managers on Teams can discuss a build together in one bridged channel.

Can GitHub Actions notify both Slack and Microsoft Teams at the same time?

Yes, by adding a notification step for each platform (or using GitHub's Slack and Teams apps). SyncRivo does not fan out GitHub notifications. It bridges the human discussion that follows between Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, and Zoom Team Chat.

What GitHub events can SyncRivo route to messaging platforms?

None — SyncRivo does not accept GitHub webhooks or route GitHub events. GitHub's Slack and Teams apps and Actions deliver push, pull request, workflow run, release, issue, deployment, and security notifications. SyncRivo bridges the messages people write about that work across chat platforms.

Is there a GitHub Actions action for Microsoft Teams?

Yes — the Marketplace has several community-maintained Actions like "MS Teams Deploy Card" and "teams-notify". These post to a Teams channel via Incoming Webhook. SyncRivo is not a replacement for them; it does not relay bot posts, but it can bridge the human discussion in that channel with Slack or other chat platforms.

Can I route GitHub PR review notifications to the reviewer's messaging platform?

Use GitHub's own Slack and Teams apps, which let people subscribe to repository activity on their platform. SyncRivo has no routing rules for GitHub payloads. It bridges human conversations, so a reviewer on Teams and an author on Slack can discuss the pull request in one bridged channel.

Does SyncRivo work with GitLab CI/CD notifications too?

Not as a notification router. SyncRivo does not accept GitLab webhooks either. Use GitLab's own Slack and Teams integrations for pipeline and merge request notifications, and SyncRivo to bridge the human discussion between chat platforms.

What is the difference between GitHub's native Slack integration and SyncRivo?

GitHub's native Slack integration (via Slack's /github command) provides rich PR previews, issue tracking, and deployment notifications inside Slack, and GitHub's Teams app does the same in Teams. SyncRivo is a messaging interoperability platform that bridges human conversations between Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, and Zoom Team Chat — it does not relay bot or app messages, so it complements the native integrations.
