Route New Relic APM, infrastructure, synthetic, and NRQL alerts to every platform your SRE and engineering teams use — simultaneously. One webhook. No duplicated notification channel configuration.

New Relic Alert Types SyncRivo Routes

Every New Relic alert type — APM, infrastructure, synthetic, NRQL, and AIOps — routed to all your messaging platforms from a single webhook endpoint.

APM Error Rate Alerts

Application error rate and Apdex threshold breaches routed to SRE and engineering channels across Slack, Teams, Webex, and Google Chat simultaneously.

Infrastructure Alerts

CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network threshold violations on hosts and containers delivered to on-call and operations channels in real time.

Synthetic Monitor Failures

New Relic Synthetics monitor failures and SLA breaches routed to platform engineering and reliability channels across messaging platforms.

NRQL Custom Alerts

Custom NRQL alert conditions fanned out to the specific teams that own each metric — SRE in Slack, leadership in Teams, partners in Google Chat.

AIOps Incident Alerts

New Relic Applied Intelligence incident correlations and anomaly detections delivered to on-call channels with full context across all platforms.

Resolved Notifications

Alert resolution events broadcast to all subscribed incident channels so every stakeholder knows the issue is cleared without polling New Relic.

How to Route New Relic Alerts to Slack & Teams

Setup takes under 15 minutes. No code required.

  1. 1
    Connect your messaging platforms
    In SyncRivo, authorize your Slack workspace and Microsoft Teams tenant via OAuth2. Optionally add Webex, Google Chat, or Zoom in the same step.
  2. 2
    Create a SyncRivo inbound webhook endpoint
    In SyncRivo, add a new Webhook source and copy the generated endpoint URL.
  3. 3
    Add a New Relic Webhook notification channel
    In New Relic, go to Alerts & AI → Notification Channels → Add notification channel. Select Webhook and paste your SyncRivo endpoint URL.
  4. 4
    Assign to your alert policies
    In New Relic, assign the SyncRivo webhook channel to the relevant alert policies. All alerts from those policies now route through SyncRivo to all connected platforms.
  5. 5
    Test with a manual notification
    Click "Send test notification" on the New Relic webhook channel. Verify alert delivery to all configured Slack and Teams channels simultaneously.

New Relic Native Notifications vs SyncRivo

CapabilityNew Relic NativeSyncRivo
Alert to Slack✓ Native notification channel✓ Via webhook relay
Alert to Microsoft Teams✓ Native notification channel✓ Via webhook relay
Alert to Webex / Google Chat / Zoom✗ Not available natively✓ All 5 platforms
Single alert → multiple platforms simultaneously✗ Requires one channel config per platform✓ One endpoint, fan-out to all
Route by team without New Relic reconfiguration✗ Requires policy changes in New Relic✓ Update routing rule in SyncRivo only
M&A: add acquired team's platform post-merger✗ Requires new New Relic notification channel✓ Add destination in SyncRivo in minutes
SOC 2 audit trail for alert delivery✗ Not available✓ Full event log per delivery
Decouple monitoring config from team platform choice✗ Tightly coupled — changing platform requires NR changes✓ Change platform at SyncRivo layer, NR untouched

Frequently Asked Questions

Can New Relic send alerts to Microsoft Teams?

Yes. New Relic has a native Microsoft Teams notification channel. For routing the same New Relic alert to Teams AND Slack simultaneously — or fan-out to Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom — SyncRivo acts as a webhook routing layer. Configure a New Relic webhook notification channel pointing at SyncRivo, and SyncRivo fans the alert to all connected platforms from a single endpoint.

How do I send New Relic alerts to Slack?

New Relic has a native Slack notification channel. Configure it in Alerts → Notification Channels with your Slack OAuth token. For multi-platform delivery (New Relic → Slack AND Teams simultaneously), configure a SyncRivo webhook as a New Relic notification channel — SyncRivo routes the alert to all connected messaging platforms in a single step.

Can I route New Relic alerts to different teams on different messaging platforms?

Yes. With SyncRivo routing rules, a single New Relic alert policy can notify your SRE team in Slack, post to a Teams channel for engineering leadership, and optionally reach a Webex space for operations — all simultaneously. Routing is configurable per alert policy, condition priority, or incident severity.

Does SyncRivo support New Relic webhook notification channels?

Yes. SyncRivo accepts inbound webhooks from New Relic Alerts (both legacy alert policies and the newer NerdGraph alert conditions). In New Relic, create a Webhook notification channel and set the URL to your SyncRivo inbound webhook endpoint. SyncRivo parses the New Relic alert payload and routes it to Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, or Zoom based on your configured channel mappings.

What types of New Relic alerts can SyncRivo route?

SyncRivo routes any New Relic alert that New Relic can send via webhook: APM error rate alerts, infrastructure CPU/memory threshold alerts, browser performance alerts, synthetic monitor failure alerts, NRQL-based custom alerts, and incident resolved notifications. Both legacy alert policies and the newer New Relic AI-powered alerts (AIOps) are supported.

Does SyncRivo work with New Relic Applied Intelligence (AIOps)?

Yes. New Relic Applied Intelligence can send incident notifications via webhooks and native notification channels. Configure a SyncRivo endpoint as a New Relic AI notification destination and SyncRivo will fan the incident alert out to Slack, Teams, and any other connected platform simultaneously — including resolved and acknowledged state changes.

How does SyncRivo handle New Relic alert routing during M&A or platform migrations?

New Relic notification routing is configured per notification channel in your alert policies. When a team changes platforms (for example, from Slack to Teams after a merger), updating the SyncRivo routing rule covers all New Relic alerts for that team instantly — no changes needed in New Relic itself. This decouples your monitoring configuration from your team's current messaging platform choice.

Route New Relic Alerts to Every Platform

Stop configuring one notification channel per platform. One SyncRivo endpoint covers your entire messaging stack.
