Manage and track your GitLab merge requests right in Slack with Actioner. Start using the app in Slack immediately after you install it. Actioner provides a seamless GitLab MR Slack integration. 🚀 Ship code faster by improving your MR review process and boosting engagement 👋 Improve software release cycles by saying goodbye to stale MRs 🚀 End context-switching through managing your GitLab MRs in Slack 🔔 Keep your team and branches up-to-date with contextual notifications and dedicated Slack channels ## Features - **Ephemeral Slack channels for MRs:** These channels are used for MR assignees and reviews to get updates and collaborate on merge requests. - **Check suit results:** Actioner collects completed check suits in a single thread and allows your teams to track them from the MR channel. - **Conversation sync:** GitLab comments are directly sent to the ephemeral MR channel as Slack messages organizing cluttered conversations. - **Broadcast channels for commits:** Your team gets notified of new commits to the main branch ensuring their branches stay up-to-date. ## How it works Once you install this app, you just need to connect to your GitLab account and Slack workspace. Each time there is a new merge request in GitLab, Actioner creates a dedicated Slack channel. It gathers assignees and reviews in that channel, sends MR details, and sends check-suit results. GitLab comments are also sent to the channel, allowing for streamlined communication. Your team collaborates seamlessly in Slack and delivers faster & better code reviews. And once an MR is merged, Actioner archives the MR channel to reduce clutter in Slack. Once an MR is merged, your team gets a message about new commits to the main branch in the Broadcast channel, attached with a link to view differences. With Actioner’s GitLab Merge request management, your team’s branches always stay up-to-date.
