We built Review Router to automatically send each GitHub pull request to the appropriate Slack channel and tag the right reviewers, keeping the message updated as the PR changes. It lets teams keep using GitHub and Slack while handling handoffs with simple rules. Let us know what you think!

Review Router sends each GitHub pull request to the right Slack channel and reviewers, then keeps the message up to date. Review Router watches GitHub. It posts each pull request in the Slack channel you choose. It names the people who can review it. The message stays up to date. Maya opened this pull request. It changes the payment event handler and its tests. Review Router handles the handoff. Your team keeps using the tools it knows. Use repositories, labels, paths, authors, and other clear rules. Choose a Slack channel for each repository or label. Review Router posts the pull request and names the reviewers. The same message shows new commits, comments, approvals, and merge status.

Review Router vs PullNotifier: Focuses on generic PR notifications, not rule-based routing to Slack channels.
Review Router vs n8n: General workflow automation platform, not specialized for GitHub-Slack PR handoff.
Review Router vs GitHub Actions: GitHub Actions runs CI/CD pipelines; does not provide Slack routing of PRs.
Review Router vs CircleCI: CI/CD platform for building and testing; lacks Slack-based review routing.
