GitHub Slack Integration for PR Management





Manage and track your GitHub pull requests right in Slack with Actioner. Start using the app in Slack immediately after you install it. Actioner provides a seamless GitHub PR Slack integration. Merge pull requests faster by improving your PR review process and increasing engagement. Say goodbye to stale PRs and improve software release cycles. End context-switching by managing your GitHub PRs in Slack ## Features - **Ephemeral Slack channels for PRs:** PR stakeholders get updates, communicate and collaborate on code changes in this channel. - ** Take action on PRs**: Merge and close pull requests right in Slack. - **Check suit results:** Actioner collects completed check suits in a single thread and allows your teams to track them from the PR channel. - **Conversation sync:** GitHub comments are directly sent to the ephemeral PR channel as Slack messages, organizing cluttered conversations. - **Broadcast channels for commits:** Your team gets notified of new commits to the main branch in a dedicated Slack channel to keep their branches up-to-date. ## How it works Actioner creates a dedicated Slack channel named after the PR whenever there is a new pull request in GitHub. It brings assignees and reviews to that channel, sends PR details, and collects check-suit results. GitHub comments also appear in the PR channel to get conversations synced. Actioner lets your team collaborate seamlessly and deliver faster & better code reviews. And once a PR is merged, the channel gets archived to reduce clutter in Slack. In the Broadcast channel, your team gets informed about the new commits to the main branch after a PR is merged. Actioner sends a message by attaching a link to view differences so that their branches can stay up-to-date. Keep your team and branches up-to-date with contextual notifications and dedicated Slack channels.

When any data is deleted, the archived copy of the data on Actioner’s backup systems will remain for 30 days and the backup data will be securely isolated and protected from any further processing, except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation.

Data storage policy

At Actioner, ensuring the security of our users' data is paramount. To this end, we employ robust cryptography policies and practices. All data stored within our systems is encrypted at rest using the AES256 encryption standard, providing an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access. Furthermore, we uphold strict encryption standards for data in transit, both within our internal networks and over public channels. All data transmissions utilize TLS1.2 or higher encryption protocols, safeguarding information from interception or tampering. In terms of cryptographic key management, we rely on the AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for secure and controlled handling of cryptographic keys. This includes secure key generation, restricted access, secure storage, regular backups, and periodic rotation of keys. Our integration with AWS services streamlines the encryption process and enhances control over access to keys, thereby bolstering the overall security of our platform.We operate a comprehensive backup program at Actioner. This includes our internal systems, where our backup measures are designed in line with system recovery requirements. With respect to our cloud services, and specifically referring to you and your application data, we also have extensive backup measures in place. Our data backups are retained for 30 days with support for point-in-time recovery and are encrypted using AES-256 encryption.

Data hosting details

Actioner is a cloud-native product whose infrastructure is hosted on industry-leading cloud provider Amazon Web Services (AWS). Actioner cloud services and data are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Where all our computing, messaging, network, and storage layers are located in the US West, our browser application is distributed via our CDN network all over the world. As a design standard, all Actioner services as well as the upstream computing, messaging, network and storage services are running on multiple availability zones (AZs) so that the traffic and the data are distributed among them. This design allows us to tolerate zone-specific failures with no downtime. This multi-zone high availability is the first line of defense for geographic and environmental risks and means that services running in multi-AZ deployments should be able to withstand AZ failure.
