Four simple steps

Set the rules once. Review in GitHub and Slack.

Review Router handles the handoff. Your team keeps using the tools it knows.

01

Connect GitHub

Choose the repositories that Review Router can watch.

02

Connect Slack

Choose an existing channel or make a new one.

03

Choose the rules

Use repositories, labels, paths, authors, and other clear rules.

04

Review

Take the review in Slack. Open or approve it in GitHub.

A clear handoff

Give each review one clear place and owner.

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.

  • Show the author, size, labels, and linked Linear issue
  • Explain why the pull request went to this channel
  • Update one message as the pull request changes

Rules for your team

Send only the reviews that matter.

Choose repositories and labels. Exclude file paths or title endings. Treat outside contributors, bots, and stacked pull requests differently. Pause a channel at any time.

  • Match any label or require all labels
  • Set rules for members and outside contributors
  • Set different reviewers for each repository

Actions from Slack

Take or approve a review with one reaction.

Use the magnifying glass reaction to take the review. Use the check mark reaction to approve the pull request in GitHub. Review Router uses the GitHub account of the person who reacts. It blocks the author, drafts, and closed pull requests.

  • Choose the Slack emoji for each action
  • Stop authors from approving their own work
  • Removing a reaction does not undo work

A daily review list

Post a daily summary in Slack. Group pull requests by what they need. Review Router updates the same summary when work changes. When the list is clear, the message says so.

  • Show reviews that wait for an owner or approval
  • Call out old pull requests and new review requests
  • Update the same summary for 36 hours
