Frequently asked

Which Microsoft Teams app is best for GitHub PR notifications?

For most engineering teams, PullNotifier offers the best balance of per-channel routing, smart filtering, code review reminders, and user mapping. The official @github bot is a free baseline.

Did Office 365 Connectors retirement affect any of these apps?

Apps built on the modern Microsoft Teams app platform (PullNotifier, official @github, Azure DevOps suite, Datadog, PagerDuty) are unaffected. Apps that relied on connector webhook URLs broke on March 31, 2026.

Are these apps free?

Many have a free tier (PullNotifier, official @github, Microsoft Loop). Others are paid services with Microsoft Teams integration as part of their offering.

Can I install all of these in the same Microsoft Teams workspace?

Yes — they're independent and don't conflict. Most engineering Teams workspaces use 5–10 of these alongside the standard Microsoft 365 apps.
