When a new repository is created in GitHub, trigger a notification in Microsoft Teams to ensure the team stays informed about ongoing projects or new initiatives. This can help business owners maintain visibility into development efforts.
Automatically send an alert to a Microsoft Teams channel whenever a new pull request is created in GitHub. This ensures the engineering team is promptly notified of requests, enhancing collaboration and productivity.
When a new notification is created in GitHub, trigger an alert in a specific Microsoft Teams channel. This will help IT teams stay updated on critical changes or updates in repositories without having to switch between platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions about GitHub + Microsoft Teams integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with GitHub and Microsoft Teams
How do we enable GitHub integration with Microsoft Teams?
You can enableGitHub integration with Microsoft Teams by adding the GitHub app to your Teams channel. Navigate to the Apps section in Microsoft Teams, search for GitHub, and follow the prompts to authenticate your GitHub account.

Yes, we allow you to customize notifications by selecting specific repositories and types of events that should trigger messages in your Teams channels.
How does authentication work when linking GitHub with Microsoft Teams?
Our integration requires you to authenticate using your GitHub account credentials. This ensures that only authorized users can view or interact with updates being posted to Teams.
Is it possible to post comments from Microsoft Teams back to a specific issue or pull request on GitHub?
Currently, our integration primarily focuses on sending notifications from GitHub to Microsoft Teams; posting comments back directly from Microsoft Teams is not supported by default but might be possible through additional configurations or third-party services.
Do I need administrative privileges on both platforms for integration?
