GitHub Notifications on Slack

We have GitHub application already installed on Slack to be able us to receive notifications to Slack when a new commit, PR, comment, etc is made to a repository hosted with our Axioned organisation account.

Create a notifications-only channel

We recommend this to make sure those who need to be alerted about these (eg: developers) are always notified instantly.

Ask your Project manager or IT team to create another channel with the suffix of -notifications to your main channel.

Stay up to date

Stay up to date Use /github subscribe [repository name] in Slack to start receiving updates about activities like:

By default, you would start to receive notifications for:

issues - Opened or closed issues
pulls - New or merged pull requests, as well as draft pull requests marked “Ready for Review”
commits - New commits on the default branch (usually main)
releases - Published releases
deployments - Deployment review notifications and Deployment status updates.

These are disabled by default, and can be enabled with the /github subscribe owner/repo [feature] command:

reviews - Pull request reviews
comments - New comments on issues and pull requests
branches - Created or deleted branches
commits:* - All commits pushed to any branch
+label:"your label" - Filter issues, pull-requests and comments based on their labels.
discussions - Discussions created or answered
