Route Snyk critical vulnerabilities, license violations, IaC misconfigurations, and PR check failures to Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom simultaneously.

Snyk has a native Slack integration — but no native Microsoft Teams integration. Vulnerability findings surface only in Slack. Security engineers on Slack, developers or compliance teams on Teams? SyncRivo routes Snyk findings to every platform from one webhook.

Security Findings Routed Across All Platforms

Every Snyk finding type — open source vulnerabilities, license issues, IaC misconfigurations, and PR check results — delivered simultaneously to Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom.

Critical Vulnerability

New critical-severity vulnerability findings — CVSS 9.0+ — routed to the security Slack channel and the engineering leadership Teams channel simultaneously for immediate escalation.

High Vulnerability

New high-severity findings routed to the security engineering Slack channel for triage. Configure priority thresholds in SyncRivo to escalate to Teams if the vulnerable package is in production scope.

License Issue

License policy violations — copyleft licenses in commercial dependencies, unapproved license types — routed to the legal or compliance Teams channel and the security Slack channel simultaneously for review.

IaC Misconfiguration

Infrastructure as Code misconfigurations in Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or Helm routed to the infrastructure Slack channel and the security compliance Teams channel for coordinated remediation.

PR Check Failed

Snyk PR check failures on pull requests introducing new vulnerabilities routed to the reviewing developer's native platform — Slack DM or Teams DM — so blocking security issues surface before merge.

Fix Available

Fix PR raised events — when Snyk opens an automated fix PR — routed to the repository owner in Slack and flagged to the engineering lead in Teams, prompting review and merge across platforms.

Setup in Four Steps

01

Add a Snyk webhook pointing to SyncRivo

In Snyk Settings → Integrations → Webhooks, add a new webhook with your SyncRivo inbound endpoint URL. Select events: new vulnerability detected, new license issue, IaC misconfiguration, PR check failed, PR check passed, fix PR raised. Snyk sends HTTP POST requests to SyncRivo in real time when these events occur.

02

Configure destination channels

In SyncRivo, add Slack channels (security-alerts, engineering, platform-team) and Teams channels (Security Engineering, Engineering Leads, Compliance) as delivery destinations for the Snyk endpoint. Each destination can be enabled or disabled per routing rule.

03

Set severity-based routing rules

Route critical-severity findings to Slack #security-alerts and Teams Security Engineering simultaneously. Route high-severity findings to Slack #security-alerts only. Route license violations to the Compliance Teams channel and Slack #security. Route IaC misconfigurations to the infrastructure Slack channel and the security compliance Teams channel. Routing rules live in SyncRivo — no Snyk reconfiguration needed when channels change.

04

Optionally 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). If your security workflow uses these Slack-native features, keep the native Slack integration active. Use SyncRivo in parallel for Teams delivery and cross-platform routing — both paths work simultaneously.

Severity-Driven Routing Matrix

Route Snyk findings to the right audience based on severity, finding type, and whether a fix is available.

Snyk EventSlack DestinationTeams DestinationRationale

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 routes 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. For engineering organizations where security engineers use Slack but developers, engineering managers, or compliance teams use Teams, configure Snyk notification webhooks pointing to SyncRivo. SyncRivo routes Snyk security findings to Slack, Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom simultaneously.

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 your SyncRivo inbound endpoint. SyncRivo routes the Snyk payload — including vulnerability name, severity, affected package, and fix availability — to your configured Teams channel in real time. For Snyk's native Slack integration, use Snyk Settings → Integrations → Slack instead; for Teams or multi-platform routing, use the webhook path via SyncRivo.

What Snyk events can SyncRivo route to messaging platforms?

SyncRivo routes any Snyk webhook payload: new vulnerability detected (critical or high severity), new license issue, IaC misconfiguration detected, PR check failed, PR check passed, fix PR raised, and project imported. Configure severity filtering in SyncRivo routing rules — route critical vulnerabilities to both the security Slack channel and the engineering Teams channel simultaneously; route high-severity findings to the security Slack channel only; route fix-available events to the developer Slack DM and the engineering leads Teams channel.

Can SyncRivo route Snyk container scan results to Teams?

Yes. Snyk Container scan results are delivered via the same Snyk webhook infrastructure as open source and code scan findings. When a Snyk container image scan detects a critical vulnerability in a base image or application dependency, SyncRivo receives the webhook payload and routes to Teams, Slack, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom based on your routing configuration. Route container critical findings to the platform engineering Teams channel and the security Slack channel simultaneously — useful when platform and security teams are on different messaging platforms.

How does Snyk IaC misconfiguration routing work with SyncRivo?

Snyk Infrastructure as Code (IaC) findings are included in Snyk's webhook payloads when IaC misconfigurations are detected in Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, or Helm charts. Configure a Snyk webhook pointing to SyncRivo. In SyncRivo routing rules, filter IaC misconfiguration events to route to the infrastructure engineering Slack channel and the security compliance Teams channel simultaneously — so both the team responsible for the fix and the compliance owner are notified cross-platform.

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

Yes. Post-merger organizations often have the acquiring security team on Slack and the acquired engineering team on Teams — or vice versa. Snyk vulnerability findings need to reach both teams simultaneously for coordinated remediation. SyncRivo receives the Snyk webhook payload and routes to both Slack and Teams channels simultaneously — so critical findings identified in either organization's codebase are visible to the full combined security and engineering team regardless of platform.

Route Snyk Findings to Every Platform

Snyk routes vulnerabilities to Slack. SyncRivo routes them to Teams, Webex, Google Chat, and Zoom too — simultaneously, from one webhook, with severity-based routing rules.
