GitHub mentions don't match Microsoft Teams handles

When a PR mentions @sarah, the official GitHub Microsoft Teams app posts the literal text "@sarah" — not a Microsoft Teams @-mention. The reviewer never gets pinged. PullNotifier maps GitHub usernames to Microsoft Teams handles so reviewers actually get notified.

How it works in Microsoft Teams

Open Manage Teams User Mapping from the dashboard.

For each engineer, enter GitHub username + Microsoft Teams display name + email.

Bulk import from a CSV — or pull the full mapping from Microsoft Entra ID on Enterprise plan.

PullNotifier rewrites every GitHub mention as a real Microsoft Teams @-mention in the adaptive card.

Yes — on the Enterprise plan. Sync the full directory automatically so onboarding new engineers is one less manual step.

What happens to mentions for users that aren't mapped?

Unmapped GitHub mentions appear as plain text in the Microsoft Teams adaptive card with a "click to map" prompt for admins.
