GitHub + Microsoft Teams Integration
GitHub and Microsoft Teams are both used by product teams — integrating them removes duplicated status updates and keeps work visible across both tools. GitHub lists it as a native integration, so setup takes minutes rather than Zapier workarounds.
Integration Status
Native integration available
GitHub lists Microsoft Teams as a supported integration. Set it up via GitHub's integrations settings — no third-party automation platform required.
What teams use this integration for
Sync status automatically
When work progresses in GitHub, reflect that change in Microsoft Teams automatically — reducing manual status updates and keeping stakeholders informed without extra effort.
Centralise team notifications
Route GitHub activity — new comments, assignments, and status changes — into Microsoft Teams so your team stays informed in the tool they already have open.
Automate weekly reporting
Pull GitHub velocity, completed tasks, and blockers into Microsoft Teams for weekly team reviews, sprint retrospectives, or stakeholder updates.
Connect planning to delivery
Link GitHub roadmap items to work tracked in Microsoft Teams, giving stakeholders visibility from strategy to shipped — without switching between tools.
How to set it up
- Open GitHub's workspace settings and navigate to the Integrations or Apps section — GitHub lists 20+ native integrations.
- Search for Microsoft Teams and click Connect or Install. You may need workspace owner or admin permissions in GitHub — check your role under Settings → Members.
- Authorise your Microsoft Teams account when prompted. Use the account that owns the resources you want to sync (not a personal account).
- Configure the integration: choose which GitHub projects or spaces sync with which Microsoft Teams resources, and select which events trigger notifications or updates.
- Test with a real item — create a task in GitHub and verify it appears or triggers correctly in Microsoft Teams before enabling for your full team.
