GitHub mentions that actually @-mention in Microsoft Teams
When a PR description mentions @sarah, the right Sarah on Microsoft Teams gets a real @-mention notification — not plain text in the channel.
Targeting: microsoft teams github mentions · 5-minute setup · Works alongside the official @github bot
Plain-text mentions don't notify anyone
The official GitHub Microsoft Teams app posts the literal text "@sarah" — not a real Microsoft Teams @-mention. Sarah never gets a notification. Reviewers miss requests. PullNotifier resolves every GitHub mention to its mapped Microsoft Teams handle and posts a real @-mention.
How it works in Microsoft Teams
Map GitHub usernames to Microsoft Teams handles (one-time, bulk via CSV or Microsoft Entra).
Every PR description, comment, and review request that contains @username gets resolved.
PullNotifier composes the adaptive card with a real Microsoft Teams @-mention element.
The mentioned user receives a Microsoft Teams notification on every device they're signed in to.
