Game Changer. It covers 99.9% of PR workflows while keeping notifications targeted to only those who need it. The other 0.1% of edge cases is quickly shrinking as they have responded to feature requests super quickly.Everything the GitHub integration does, now for GitLab.
The notification engine 30,000+ engineers rely on, now speaking merge requests: same smart threading, same routing, same noise controls.
One message per merge request
Each MR gets a single Slack message that updates in place, so there is no channel spam. Merged, closed, draft, and reviewer changes all edit the same message.
Approvals & comments as thread replies
Approvals, inline diff comments, and discussion replies land in the MR message’s thread, so the channel stays readable and the context stays together.
Multi-channel routing
Route MRs to different channels by label, author, or reviewer, per project or group-wide. The frontend team’s MRs go to #frontend, hotfixes to #urgent.
GitLab ⇔ Slack user mapping
Map GitLab users to Slack users once and reviewers get proper @-mentions instead of plain-text usernames.
Daily digests
A scheduled channel summary of stale MRs and MRs still waiting on approvals, so nothing sits unreviewed for days.
Personal DM notifications
Review requested? MR approved? Someone mentioned you? Get a direct message for the events that involve you personally.
Noise controls
Draft MRs are skipped until they’re ready. Mute by target branch, blacklist bot authors, and filter comment notifications by content.

The official GitLab for Slack app posts a separate message for every event, which quickly floods the channel.

Merge request opened, reopened, merged, closed, draft/ready transitions, title edits, new commits, reviewer and assignee changes, label changes, approvals, inline diff comments, and discussion comments.
Yes. Multi-channel routing sends MRs to different channels by label, author, or reviewer, per project or group-wide. The frontend team’s MRs go to #frontend, hotfixes to #urgent.

Not yet. gitlab.com is supported today. Self-managed support is on the roadmap; contact us if your team needs it.
GitLab support is Slack-only for now. Teams delivery for GitLab is planned, and GitHub + Teams is already supported.
GitLab has a "Request changes" review action, but the platform fires no webhook and exposes no API state when a reviewer uses it, so no integration can detect that event (tracked upstream as GitLab issue #592358). Approvals, comments, and every other review signal come through normally, and we will add notifications the moment GitLab ships the event.
Yes. It is free for teams with fewer than 4 developers. Larger teams get a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
