Your engineers work in Slack. DevOps management uses Microsoft Teams. Product relies on Google Chat. When a build fails or a PR merges, only one team knows — unless you route GitHub events to all platforms simultaneously.

SyncRivo accepts GitHub webhooks and fans notifications out to Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, and Zoom — with routing rules based on event type, repository, or branch. One webhook URL. Every team stays informed.

GitHub Events Supported

Pull Request Events

PR opened, reviewed, approved, merged, closed — routed to dev team channels on any platform.

Workflow Failures

CI/CD pipeline failures immediately posted to #ci-failures in Slack and engineering Teams channels.

Deployment Status

Successful and failed deployments broadcast to release management and on-call channels.

Security Advisories

Dependabot security alerts and code scanning results routed to security team channels.

Release Events

New GitHub Releases published to #releases in Slack, product Teams channel, and stakeholder platforms.

Issue Activity

High-priority issues opened or closed trigger notifications to the teams responsible for that code area.

Setup: 5 Steps, ~15 Minutes

Connect your messaging platforms

Authorize SyncRivo with Slack, Teams, and any other destinations via OAuth2. Each connection gets a scoped token with channel-level permissions.

Create a SyncRivo inbound webhook

In your SyncRivo account, create an inbound webhook connector. Copy the generated endpoint URL.

Add webhook to your GitHub repo

Go to Settings → Webhooks → Add webhook in your GitHub repo. Paste the SyncRivo URL. Set content type to application/json and select which events to forward.

Configure routing rules

Map event types to destination channels: workflow_run failures → Slack #ci-failures AND Teams Engineering; PR merges → #releases; security alerts → #security.

Test and verify

Use GitHub's "Send test payload" to confirm the webhook fires. Trigger a real event to verify routing across all configured channels.

Example GitHub Routing Rules

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	Google Chat: Product
pull_request opened	#code-review	—	—
release published	#releases	Stakeholder Updates	Webex: Leadership
security_advisory	#security	SecOps channel	—
deployment_status	#deployments	Platform Engineering	Zoom: SRE channel

Also works with GitLab CI/CD

SyncRivo accepts webhooks from GitLab using the same endpoint and routing infrastructure. Configure a GitLab System Hook or Project Webhook and route pipeline events, merge request events, and deployment notifications to all five messaging platforms — no separate configuration required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I send GitHub Actions notifications to Microsoft Teams?

GitHub has no native Microsoft Teams integration. The most common approach is to use the "Send Teams Notification" GitHub Action from the Marketplace, which posts to a Teams Incoming Webhook URL. For advanced routing — sending the same build status to both Slack and Teams simultaneously, or routing failures to different channels — use SyncRivo as the webhook routing layer.

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

Not with native integrations alone — GitHub Actions posts to one destination per step. With SyncRivo, configure a single webhook endpoint in your workflow file. SyncRivo fans the notification out to Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, and Zoom simultaneously based on your routing rules.

What GitHub events can SyncRivo route to messaging platforms?

SyncRivo accepts any GitHub webhook event: push, pull_request (opened/merged/reviewed), workflow_run (completed/failed), release (published), issues (opened/closed), deployment_status, and security_advisory. Route each event type to the appropriate channel — PR merges to #releases, failed builds to #ci-failures, security alerts to #security.

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 single Teams channel via Incoming Webhook. For routing across multiple platforms or multiple Teams channels based on event type, SyncRivo provides a webhook endpoint that works as a drop-in replacement requiring no additional Action code.

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

Yes. SyncRivo supports routing rules based on webhook payload content. Configure rules that route review_requested events to a Slack channel (for engineering teams) and merge notifications to a Teams channel (for release management). User-specific routing by reviewer identity requires custom webhook processing.

Does SyncRivo work with GitLab CI/CD notifications too?

Yes. SyncRivo accepts webhooks from GitLab (pipeline events, merge request events, issue events, deployment events) using the same routing infrastructure as GitHub. Configure a GitLab System Hook or Project Webhook pointing to your SyncRivo endpoint and apply the same multi-platform routing rules.

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

GitHub's native Slack integration (via Slack's /github command) is excellent for Slack-only deployments. It provides rich PR previews, issue tracking, and deployment notifications inside Slack. SyncRivo complements this by taking any GitHub webhook and routing it to Teams, Webex, Google Chat, or Zoom for teams not on Slack — without requiring a separate native integration per platform.

Route GitHub Events to Every Developer's Platform

One webhook. Every platform. Build failures reach on-call in Slack AND leadership in Teams — simultaneously.
