Your engineers live in Slack. Your IT operations team lives in Teams. When PagerDuty fires, both need to coordinate. PagerDuty's native apps post the alerts; SyncRivo bridges the human incident discussion across all five enterprise messaging platforms, with thread replies synced.
The PagerDuty Multi-Platform Problem
Split engineering and IT teams
Engineering runs on Slack. IT operations runs on Teams. Even with PagerDuty notifying both, the two teams discuss the incident in separate places.
M&A Day-1 incident visibility
Post-merger, acquired and acquirer teams use different platforms. When production goes down, both teams need to coordinate in real time — before IT has had time to standardize on one platform.
Duplicate PagerDuty integrations drift
Maintaining separate PagerDuty integrations (one for Slack, one for Teams) is unavoidable when teams are split, and keeping incident discussion in sync across them is manual work.
Thread context lost across platforms
When workaround notes and resolution discussion only appear in one platform, the other team's war room has an incomplete incident timeline — slowing resolution.
How SyncRivo Bridges PagerDuty Across Platforms
SyncRivo sits between your messaging platforms — not between PagerDuty and your platforms. You keep your existing PagerDuty integrations unchanged. SyncRivo does not relay PagerDuty's app-posted alerts; it bridges the human incident discussion to Teams (and any other platform) in real time.
Teams
Setup Guide: PagerDuty → Slack → Teams
Your first channel bridge is typically live during onboarding, once your Slack/Teams admins approve the app.

Configure PagerDuty's native Slack and Teams integrations
In PagerDuty, connect the native Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations for your service and choose the incident channels on each platform (e.g., #incidents in Slack and "Incidents" in Teams). SyncRivo does not relay PagerDuty's app-posted alerts.

Connect SyncRivo to Microsoft Teams
A Microsoft admin grants consent for the SyncRivo app. Select the Teams channel where IT operations discusses incidents.

Bridge the incident discussion channels
In SyncRivo, create a bidirectional bridge between the Slack #incidents channel and the Teams Incidents channel. Human messages and thread replies sync in both directions.

Test the bridged conversation
Post a human message in the Slack incident channel and confirm it appears in Teams within seconds. Reply in Teams and confirm the reply appears in Slack.
Enterprise Use Cases
Post-M&A IT Unification
Two companies, two messaging platforms, one production environment. SyncRivo lets both IT teams discuss incidents in bridged channels on Day 1 — before the messaging platform consolidation project is even scoped.
M&A solution →MSP Multi-Tenant Operations
Managed service providers supporting clients on different platforms need to coordinate on client incidents regardless of which platform the client uses. SyncRivo bridges the MSP NOC channel with the client's platform through a cross-organization partner connection.
Partner hub solution →Regulated Industry SecOps
Healthcare and financial services SecOps teams need to discuss incidents across communication channels. SyncRivo provides an activity log and security event history (JSON export), with a BAA available for Enterprise customers.
