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?
Yes, typically administrative access is required on both platforms—GitHub and Microsoft Teams—to set up the necessary permissions for seamless integration.
What happens if I revoke permissions for the integration at a later date?
If permissions are revoked either on GitHub or Microsoft Teams, the integration will cease to function until re-authenticated. Notifications will stop being received in your channels until reconnected.
