Other use cases

Broadcast GitHub commits to main

Keep track of commits to the main branch in GitHub without leaving Slack.

Try GitHub PR management

How it works:

Reserve dedicated Slack channels to output from GitHub. 

Whenever a pull request is merged into the main branch, a message is automatically posted in the channel with a link for viewing differences in the codebase.

This use case is to keep everyone informed when deploys take place and which changes were rolled up into a release. You can remind your engineers working in branches that they can minimize conflicts by notifying them with the latest changes before submitting their own PR.

How to get started:

To begin with the PR review in Slack with GitHub,

  1. Sign up to Actioner.
  2. Install GitHub pull request management.
  3. Connect Slack and GitHub.
  4. Run setup actions. First select the repositories that you’ll get notified for the new PRs and next create a GitHub updates channel to notify your team for commit events to main.

Once you set up the app, automatically, a broadcast channel will be created, and Actioner will start sending notifications to that channel when changes are committed to the main branch in GitHub.
