How to correctly setup a GitHub to Slack integration
GitHub is a web-based platform where developers store code, track changes, and collaborate on projects. With MagicBell's GitHub integration, your team can get notifications directly linked to their GitHub workflow.
Slack is a messaging app for teams. It brings all your team's communication and files in one place, where they're instantly searchable and available wherever you go.
MagicBell makes it incredibly easy to combine the two, so that GitHub can be used as a source of events to be sent via Slack.
