NOTE: We recommend using our new integrations with Slack. These integrations allow users to subscribe to notifications and monitor their pipelines, repositories and work items. Users can take actions like Approve deployments or create new work items in Azure Boards from Slack. For more information, please see Azure Pipelines app for Slack, Azure Boards app for Slack and Azure Repos app for Slack.

Slack is a popular team collaboration service that helps teams be more productive by keeping all communications in one place and easily searchable from virtually anywhere. All your messages, your files, and everything from Twitter, Dropbox, Google Docs, Azure DevOps, and more all together. Slack also has fully native apps for iOS and Android to give you the full functionality of Slack wherever you go.

Integrated with Azure DevOps

This integration keeps your team informed of activity happening in its Azure DevOps projects. With this integration, code check-ins, pull requests, work item updates, and build events show up directly in your team's Slack channel.

Get notified on build failure, release deployments, and more:

Azure Repos

Get notified when code is checked in, pull requests are opened, and more:

Azure Boards

Get notified when work items are created, updated, assigned, commented on, and more:

Quick access to the resource

Notifications that appear in your channel give team members basic details about the event, for example the title of the work item that was just assigned, who initiated a pull request, etc. With one click, a user can launch into Azure DevOps to get more details or can get involved.
