Snyk posts critical vulnerabilities, license violations, IaC misconfigurations, and PR check failures through its own Slack integration and webhooks. SyncRivo bridges the human security discussion across platforms.

Snyk has a native Slack integration — but no native Microsoft Teams integration. Security engineers on Slack, developers or compliance teams on Teams? SyncRivo does not relay Snyk findings, but it bridges the conversation so both sides can triage together.

Security Findings Teams Discuss Across Platforms

Snyk posts these through its own integrations. SyncRivo does not relay bot or app messages; it bridges the human discussion.

Critical Vulnerability

New critical-severity vulnerability findings — CVSS 9.0+ — that security and engineering leadership need to escalate.

High Vulnerability

New high-severity findings that the security engineering team triages.

License Issue

License policy violations — copyleft licenses in commercial dependencies, unapproved license types — that legal, compliance, and security review.

IaC Misconfiguration

Infrastructure as Code misconfigurations in Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or Helm that infrastructure and compliance teams remediate together.

PR Check Failed

Snyk PR check failures on pull requests introducing new vulnerabilities, so blocking security issues surface before merge.

Fix Available

Fix PR raised events — when Snyk opens an automated fix PR — that repository owners review and merge.

Setup in Four Steps

01

Enable Snyk's native Slack integration

In Snyk Settings → Integrations → Slack, choose which findings post to which Slack channels. If you need findings in Teams, point a Snyk webhook at a receiver you operate. SyncRivo does not receive Snyk webhooks.

02

Connect Slack and Teams to SyncRivo

Book a demo to start a guided pilot. Your Slack and Microsoft Teams admins approve the SyncRivo apps. SyncRivo bridges human messages; messages posted by bots and apps are not relayed.

03

Bridge the security discussion channels

Bridge Slack #security-alerts with the Teams Security Engineering channel, and the infrastructure Slack channel with the Compliance Teams channel, so the people who own each finding can discuss it on their own platforms.

04

Keep the native Slack integration for interactive features

Snyk's native Slack integration supports interactive Slack actions (mark as ignored, open in Snyk from Slack). Keep it active for notifications; SyncRivo handles only the human conversation between platforms.

Severity-Driven Audience Matrix

Who needs to discuss each Snyk finding. Snyk delivers the findings; SyncRivo bridges the human discussion between these Slack and Teams channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Snyk have a Microsoft Teams integration?▾

Snyk does not have a native Microsoft Teams integration for vulnerability notifications. Snyk has a native Slack integration (Snyk Settings → Integrations → Slack) that posts new critical and high-severity vulnerability findings, license issues, IaC misconfigurations, and PR check results to Slack channels. There is no equivalent Teams integration in Snyk's native offering. SyncRivo does not receive Snyk webhooks or relay Snyk notifications — messages posted by bots and apps are not bridged. SyncRivo bridges the human discussion between chat platforms, so security engineers on Slack and developers or compliance teams on Teams can triage findings in one bridged channel.

How do I send Snyk vulnerability alerts to Microsoft Teams?▾

Snyk supports outbound webhooks (Snyk Settings → Integrations → Webhooks) that fire HTTP POST requests when new vulnerabilities are detected, issues are opened, or PR check status changes. Point a Snyk webhook at a receiver you operate that posts to Teams. SyncRivo does not receive Snyk webhooks or relay Snyk notifications — messages posted by bots and apps are not bridged. For Snyk's native Slack integration, use Snyk Settings → Integrations → Slack; SyncRivo then bridges the human conversation between Slack and Teams.

What Snyk events can SyncRivo route to messaging platforms?▾

None. SyncRivo does not receive Snyk webhooks or relay Snyk notifications — messages posted by bots and apps are not bridged. Snyk's own Slack integration and webhooks cover new vulnerabilities, license issues, IaC misconfigurations, PR check results, fix PRs, and project imports. SyncRivo has no severity routing rules; it bridges the human discussion that follows.

Can SyncRivo route Snyk container scan results to Teams?▾

No. Snyk Container scan results are delivered via the same Snyk webhook and Slack integration as open source and code findings; SyncRivo does not receive or route them. What SyncRivo can do is bridge the security Slack channel with the platform engineering Teams channel, so both teams can discuss a critical base-image finding together.

How does Snyk IaC misconfiguration routing work with SyncRivo?▾

It does not run through SyncRivo. Snyk Infrastructure as Code (IaC) findings are included in Snyk's webhook payloads and Slack notifications when misconfigurations are detected in Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, or Helm charts. SyncRivo does not receive Snyk webhooks or relay Snyk notifications — messages posted by bots and apps are not bridged. SyncRivo bridges the infrastructure Slack channel with the compliance Teams channel so the fix owner and compliance owner can discuss the finding across platforms.

Can SyncRivo route Snyk findings during an M&A when teams use different platforms?▾

SyncRivo does not route Snyk findings. Post-merger organizations often have the acquiring security team on Slack and the acquired engineering team on Teams — or vice versa. Snyk posts findings through its own integrations, and SyncRivo bridges the channels where both teams discuss remediation, so the combined security and engineering team can coordinate regardless of platform.

Bring Security and Engineering into One Conversation

Snyk posts findings to Slack. SyncRivo bridges the human discussion to Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom, so every team can triage together.
