Route GitLab CI/CD pipeline events, merge request notifications, and deployment status to every platform your engineering and release teams use — simultaneously. One webhook. No duplicated project configuration.
Every GitLab webhook event — pipeline, merge request, deployment, security, and release — routed to all your messaging platforms from a single webhook endpoint.
CI/CD pipeline passed, failed, blocked, and skipped events routed to engineering channels on Slack, Teams, Webex, and Google Chat simultaneously.
MR opened, approved, reviewer changed, and merged events routed to dev team and release management channels on any platform.
GitLab deployment success and failure events broadcast to on-call and release management channels across all connected platforms.
SAST, DAST, and dependency scan job completions routed to security team channels regardless of which messaging platform they use.
High-priority issues opened or closed trigger notifications to the teams responsible for that project or component area.
New GitLab Releases published to #releases in Slack, product Teams channel, and any other configured platform simultaneously.
Setup takes under 15 minutes. No code required.
Example routing for engineering organizations using GitLab across multi-platform teams.
| GitLab Event | SyncRivo Routes To | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Pipeline failed | → Slack #ci-failures + Teams #engineering-incidents | Engineering and leadership both notified immediately |
| Pipeline passed (main branch) | → Slack #releases | Engineering team notified — no leadership noise |
| Merge request merged | → Slack #releases + Teams #release-management | Release teams across platforms aware of merge |
| Deployment succeeded | → Slack #deployments + Teams #operations | Ops and engineering both see successful deploy |
| Deployment failed | → Slack #deployments + PagerDuty on-call | Deploy failure escalated to on-call rotation |
| Security scan finding | → Teams #security + Slack #security-eng | Security and engineering both notified simultaneously |
| Capability | GitLab Native | SyncRivo |
|---|---|---|
| Notify Slack | ✓ Native Slack integration (per project) | ✓ Via webhook relay |
| Notify Microsoft Teams | ✗ No native Teams integration | ✓ Full support |
| Notify Webex / Google Chat / Zoom | ✗ Not available natively | ✓ All 5 platforms |
| Single event → multiple platforms simultaneously | ✗ Requires one webhook per destination | ✓ One endpoint, fan-out to all |
| Route by event type to different channels | ✗ Same destination for all selected events | ✓ Per-event-type routing rules |
| M&A: add acquired team's platform post-merger | ✗ Requires new webhook per project | ✓ Add destination in SyncRivo in minutes |
| SOC 2 audit trail for notification delivery | ✗ Not available | ✓ Full event log per delivery |
| Org-wide routing via System Hooks | ✓ Available at admin level | ✓ SyncRivo accepts System Hook payloads too |
GitLab has no native Microsoft Teams integration. The standard approach is to configure a GitLab Project Webhook or System Hook with the Pipeline events trigger, pointing to a Teams Incoming Webhook URL. For routing the same pipeline notification to both Slack AND Teams simultaneously — or to Google Chat, Webex, or Zoom — use SyncRivo as the webhook routing layer. One endpoint, all platforms.
Not natively — GitLab webhooks post to one destination per webhook configuration. With SyncRivo, configure a single GitLab Project Webhook pointing to your SyncRivo endpoint. SyncRivo fans the pipeline event, merge request event, or issue notification to Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, and Zoom simultaneously based on your routing rules.
SyncRivo accepts any GitLab webhook event: Pipeline events (passed/failed/blocked), Merge Request events (opened/merged/approved/closed), Push events, Issue events (opened/closed), Release events, Deployment events, and Job events. Route each event type to the appropriate channel — failed pipelines to #ci-failures, MR merges to #releases, security scan findings to #security.
Yes. Configure a GitLab Project Webhook with the Merge Request events trigger pointing at your SyncRivo endpoint. SyncRivo routes opened, approved, reviewer_change, and merged events to the appropriate messaging channels. Route MR approvals to a Slack engineering channel and merge notifications to a Teams release management channel simultaneously.
Yes. GitLab can send confidential issue events and SAST/DAST job completion events via webhooks. Configure SyncRivo routing rules to direct any GitLab event with a security label or from a security scanner job to your security team's Teams channel — while routing the same event to a Slack #security channel for your engineering team.
Yes. GitLab System Hooks (admin-level) fire for repository creation, group membership changes, and user events across the entire GitLab instance. Configure the System Hook URL to your SyncRivo endpoint and route these org-wide events to DevOps leadership channels across Slack, Teams, or any other connected platform.
GitLab's native Slack integration (configured in GitLab → Settings → Integrations → Slack notifications) is excellent for Slack-only teams — it provides per-project configuration with granular event controls. SyncRivo complements or replaces this by routing any GitLab webhook event to Teams, Webex, Google Chat, or Zoom for teams not on Slack, without requiring separate native integrations per platform.
Stop configuring one webhook per destination. One SyncRivo endpoint covers your entire messaging stack.
