Automate Slack + GitHub with GAIA
Get GitHub notifications in Slack and manage PRs from chat
GitHub generates a torrent of notifications — pull request reviews, issue comments, CI failures, and deployment statuses. Most engineers mute GitHub emails and miss important events. The official GitHub Slack integration delivers too much noise without enough intelligence.
GAIA brings smart GitHub activity to Slack with filtering and context. PR review requests go to the right engineer's DM. CI failures post to the team channel with a summary of what broke. Merged PRs trigger release notes drafts. Your team gets the GitHub signal it needs in Slack without the noise it doesn't.
5 things you can automate
Everything GAIA can do when Slack and GitHub are connected.
Smart PR review notifications
When you're requested for a code review, GAIA sends a Slack DM with the PR title, description, diff size, and a direct link — giving you just enough context to prioritize reviews without opening GitHub.
CI/CD failure alerts
When a GitHub Actions workflow fails, GAIA posts a structured failure summary to the engineering Slack channel including the failing step, error message, and a link to the run.
PR merge announcements
When a significant PR is merged, GAIA posts a changelog entry to the team channel summarizing what was changed, who contributed, and any related issues that were closed.
Issue triage in Slack
New GitHub issues that meet priority criteria trigger Slack notifications to the relevant team channel with issue details and a prompt to assign and label.
Deploy status updates
Deployment events from GitHub trigger Slack notifications confirming successful deploys or alerting on deployment failures with rollback instructions.
How to set it up
Connect Slack and GitHub to GAIA in three steps.

Connect GitHub and Slack to GAIA
Authorize GAIA with your GitHub organization and Slack workspace. Configure which repositories and branches GAIA should monitor.

Interact with GitHub from Slack
Once connected, you can ask GAIA to check PR status, list open issues, or trigger actions directly from Slack without visiting GitHub.
