Route OpsGenie on-call alerts, escalations, and incident notifications to every platform your teams use — simultaneously. One webhook. No duplicated configuration.

OpsGenie Event Types SyncRivo Routes

Every OpsGenie webhook event type is accepted and routed to your configured messaging platforms in real time.

Alert Created

New OpsGenie alerts routed instantly to on-call channels on Slack, Teams, or Webex — whichever platform each team uses.

On-Call Notifications

On-call schedule rotations and duty handoffs broadcast to team channels so everyone knows who is currently on-call.

Escalation Events

Alert escalations trigger additional notifications to managers on Teams while the primary engineer responds in Slack.

Heartbeat Failures

OpsGenie heartbeat failures routed to SRE channels as priority notifications with full context payload.

Acknowledge & Resolve

Alert acknowledgements and resolutions broadcast to incident channels so stakeholders know status without polling OpsGenie.

Incident Notifications

Major incident declarations routed across all platforms — Slack for responders, Teams for leadership, Google Chat for partners.

How to Connect OpsGenie 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
    Add OpsGenie as a webhook source
    In OpsGenie Integrations, create an Outgoing Webhook integration. Paste your SyncRivo inbound webhook URL as the destination and select which alert events to forward.
  3. 3
    Configure routing rules
    Map OpsGenie alert priority (P1, P2, P3) or team tags to specific channels. P1 alerts can fan out to Slack, Teams, and Webex simultaneously — P3 alerts to a low-priority channel only.
  4. 4
    Map escalation tiers
    Create escalation routing so that when an alert is escalated, an additional notification reaches your engineering leadership Teams channel or manager Slack DM automatically.
  5. 5
    Test with a live alert
    Trigger a test alert in OpsGenie and verify delivery across all configured channels. Confirm acknowledgement and resolution events flow correctly to your incident status channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can OpsGenie send alerts to Microsoft Teams?

Yes. OpsGenie has a native Teams integration for basic alert delivery. For cross-platform routing — sending the same OpsGenie alert to Teams for one team and Slack for another simultaneously — SyncRivo acts as the routing layer between OpsGenie webhooks and all five enterprise messaging platforms.

How do I send OpsGenie alerts to Slack?

OpsGenie has a built-in Slack integration configurable in the Integrations menu. You authorize via OAuth2 and map OpsGenie teams or alert tags to Slack channels. For simultaneous Slack + Teams delivery, or routing to Webex or Google Chat, use SyncRivo to relay OpsGenie webhooks across all connected platforms.

Can I route OpsGenie on-call notifications to multiple chat platforms at once?

Yes. With SyncRivo, a single OpsGenie alert can notify your on-call engineer in Slack, post to a Teams incident channel for engineering leadership, and update a Webex space for operations — simultaneously, without duplicating your OpsGenie configuration. Routing rules are based on alert priority, team, or tag.

Does SyncRivo support OpsGenie webhooks?

Yes. SyncRivo accepts inbound webhooks from OpsGenie. Configure an OpsGenie Outgoing Webhook integration pointing at your SyncRivo endpoint. SyncRivo then routes the alert payload to Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Webex, or Zoom based on your channel mappings. No coding required.

What OpsGenie events can SyncRivo route?

SyncRivo routes any OpsGenie webhook event: alert created, alert acknowledged, alert escalated, on-call schedule changes, resolved alerts, and heartbeat failures. Any payload OpsGenie sends via webhook is accepted and routed to your configured messaging destinations.

How does SyncRivo handle OpsGenie escalation routing?

You can configure SyncRivo routing rules that mirror OpsGenie escalation tiers. For example: Priority P1 alerts route to Slack (primary on-call) and Teams (engineering leadership) simultaneously. P2 alerts route only to the team Slack channel. Escalations trigger an additional notification to the manager's Teams DM or group channel.

Does SyncRivo work with Atlassian OpsGenie after the Jira Service Management merger?

Yes. SyncRivo integrates with OpsGenie whether you access it as a standalone product or through Atlassian's Jira Service Management (JSM). The webhook endpoint is the same — configure the outgoing webhook in OpsGenie/JSM and point it to SyncRivo. Jira incident events from JSM can also be routed alongside OpsGenie alerts.
