Heroku ships native Slack integration via Heroku ChatOps — interactive deploy commands and release notifications in Slack. There is no equivalent Teams integration in the Heroku Elements marketplace. SyncRivo routes every Heroku release webhook to Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom from a single endpoint — no code changes to your deployment pipeline.
What Heroku ships out of the box for cross-platform team chat.
Cross-platform gap
All Teams users are excluded from Heroku release event visibility unless a webhook relay is configured
Route each Heroku event type independently — production releases to Teams, review app deploys to Slack only, failures to both on-call channels simultaneously.
New production release deployed successfully — routed to the engineering Slack channel and, for main-branch deploys, the engineering releases Teams channel simultaneously.
Deployment failure events — failed slug compilation, crashed dynos post-deploy — routed to the on-call Slack channel and the engineering leads Teams channel simultaneously.
Build failure events — compile errors, missing buildpack, slug size exceeded — routed to the engineering Slack channel for immediate developer attention.
Dyno crash and unexpected restart events routed to the platform engineering Slack channel and the infrastructure Teams channel — surfacing runtime instability before it becomes an incident.
Any release created via git push, Heroku CI, or the Heroku API — routed to Slack with deploy context (version, branch, user). Production releases additionally routed to Teams.
Heroku Pipeline promotion events — staging-to-production — routed to both Slack and Teams simultaneously to notify all stakeholders of the production deployment.
No code changes to your deployment pipeline. SyncRivo receives Heroku webhooks and routes them to the right channel on any platform.
In SyncRivo, create a new inbound endpoint. Copy the unique HTTPS endpoint URL — this is the webhook destination for Heroku release notifications.
Go to Heroku Dashboard → App → Settings → Webhooks → Add Webhook. Set the Payload URL to your SyncRivo endpoint. Select event types: api:release, release, api:build, build. Save. Via CLI: heroku webhooks:add --app APP_NAME --events api:release,release --url SYNCRIVO_ENDPOINT.
In SyncRivo, configure routing rules for each event type. Route release failures to your Slack on-call channel AND your Teams engineering leads channel simultaneously. Route production release successes to both. Route review app events to Slack only.
In SyncRivo, authorize your Microsoft Teams workspace via OAuth. Select the destination channels for each routing rule — for example, Teams #engineering-releases for production releases and Teams #devops-alerts for failures.
Push a commit or trigger a manual release in Heroku. Verify the release event appears in both your Slack channel and your Teams channel within seconds of the Heroku release completing.
Route by event type and environment — production vs. review apps, failure vs. success — to maximise signal-to-noise across both Slack and Teams.
| Heroku Event | Context | Slack Destination | Teams Destination |
|---|---|---|---|
| api:release | Production (main branch) | #engineering-deploys | #engineering-releases |
| api:release | Review App / staging | #engineering-deploys | — (suppressed) |
| release (failed) | Any environment | #on-call + #engineering-deploys | #engineering-leads |
| build (failed) | Any environment | #engineering-deploys | — (suppressed) |
| api:dyno (crash) | Production dynos | #on-call | #infrastructure-alerts |
| Pipeline promotion | Staging → Production | #engineering-deploys | #engineering-releases |
Heroku ChatOps covers Slack users with interactive commands. SyncRivo covers every platform your engineering and product organization uses with event-driven routing.
| Capability | Heroku Native | Heroku + SyncRivo |
|---|---|---|
| Notify Slack | ✓ Heroku ChatOps Slack app (command-driven, interactive) | ✓ Via SyncRivo webhook relay (event-driven, automatic) |
| Notify Microsoft Teams | ✗ No native Teams integration or ChatOps app | ✓ Full Teams channel delivery via SyncRivo routing |
| Notify Webex / Google Chat / Zoom | ✗ Not available natively | ✓ All 5 platforms |
| Single release event → Slack AND Teams simultaneously | ✗ ChatOps is Slack-only | ✓ One webhook endpoint, fan-out to all platforms |
| Production release → Teams audience, review apps → Slack only | ✗ No routing rules by environment | ✓ Per-environment platform targeting via routing rules |
| Release failure → on-call Slack + engineering leads Teams | ✗ Slack only via ChatOps notifications | ✓ Severity-driven routing rules |
| Interactive deploy commands from chat (deploy, rollback) | ✓ Heroku ChatOps in Slack | — (notification routing only, not command execution) |
| Zero code changes to deployment pipeline | ✓ ChatOps is a Slack app install | ✓ Webhook-based, no pipeline changes |
Heroku does not have a native Microsoft Teams integration for deployment notifications. Heroku ships Heroku ChatOps — a Slack app that allows running Heroku commands (deploy, rollback, view releases) from within Slack channels. There is no equivalent Teams integration in the Heroku Elements marketplace or in Heroku platform notifications. For engineering organizations where platform engineers use Slack but engineering leadership, product, or QA teams use Teams, configure Heroku webhooks pointing to SyncRivo. SyncRivo routes Heroku deployment payloads to Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom simultaneously from a single webhook endpoint.
In Heroku, go to the Dashboard for your app, click Settings, scroll to Webhooks, and add a new webhook. Set the Payload URL to your SyncRivo inbound endpoint URL. Select the event types to subscribe to: api:release (new deployment triggered), release (release state changes). Save the webhook. In SyncRivo, configure routing rules to deliver release payloads to your Teams channels. Heroku POSTs the event to SyncRivo, and SyncRivo fans out the notification to your configured Teams channels in real time. You can also configure webhooks via the Heroku CLI: heroku webhooks:add --app APP_NAME --events api:release --url YOUR_SYNCRIVO_ENDPOINT.
SyncRivo routes any Heroku webhook event including: api:release (new release created via git push, Heroku CI, or API), release (release state changed — succeeded or failed), api:build (build created from a git push), build (build state changed — pending, succeeded, failed), api:dyno (dyno event — restart, crash, scale). Configure routing rules in SyncRivo — route release failures to both the Slack engineering channel and the Teams engineering leads channel simultaneously; route succeeded production releases to Slack and Teams; route dyno crash events to the on-call Slack channel and the infrastructure Teams channel.
Heroku ChatOps is a Slack app that allows Slack users to execute Heroku commands — deploy a branch, roll back a release, view recent releases — from within Slack. It is interactive and command-driven, not event-driven. Heroku webhooks (which SyncRivo receives) are event-driven — Heroku fires a payload when a deployment event occurs, regardless of which platform the engineer is using. These two approaches are complementary: use Heroku ChatOps for Slack users who want to trigger deploys from Slack; use SyncRivo webhooks to notify both Slack and Teams users when deployments complete or fail.
Yes. Heroku webhook payloads for release failure events include the app name, release version number, the triggering commit reference, the build ID, the slug ID, the user who triggered the release, and the failure reason. SyncRivo forwards the full payload to your configured destinations — Teams and Slack receive the deployment context needed to identify and act on the failure. From the Teams notification, engineers can link directly to the Heroku Dashboard release log. SyncRivo does not truncate or summarize the webhook payload; the full Heroku error context is preserved in the routed message.
Yes, but most teams configure review app notifications to Slack only and reserve Teams routing for production release events. Review apps — deployed automatically from GitHub pull request branches via Heroku Review Apps — are high-frequency and developer-focused. Production releases are lower-frequency and relevant to a wider audience. Configure SyncRivo routing rules to differentiate: release succeeded for review apps → Slack only; release succeeded for production (main/master branch) → Slack + Teams engineering releases; release failed for any environment → Slack on-call + Teams engineering leads simultaneously.
