Axolo vs GitHub's
Slack Integration
The GitHub + Slack experience, supercharged 🚀
If you're using GitHub and Slack together, you might already use GitHub's native Slack integration. But if your team thrives on speed, focus, and better developer collaboration, Axolo goes way beyond.

Axolo
GitHub Slack Integration
1. Slack isn't your code review tool — but with Axolo, it feels like one
GitHub's native Slack app is passive — it sends a notification and leaves the rest to you. Axolo is different: it actively organizes your team's code review flow by opening a dedicated Slack channel per pull request, inviting the right reviewers, tracking review status, and archiving the channel when it's merged or closed.
🧠 Stay in flow. Stop tab-hopping between GitHub and Slack.
2. Focus your team around PRs — not the noise
GitHub's Slack messages often disappear into channel clutter. Axolo creates a focused, temporary space for each PR. You get threads tied to a single pull request, review reminders directly in Slack, CI/CD feedback shown in context, and easy mentions of collaborators.
🔔 No more missed reviews. No more endless scroll.
3. Instant onboarding. Immediate productivity.
Axolo is built for engineers, by engineers. You can connect GitHub & Slack in under 2 minutes, use it with GitHub Cloud, Enterprise, and private repos, and skip lengthy setup — it just works.
⚙️ Get value without configuration hell.
4. Built for modern dev teams
Axolo supports your GitHub metadata: teams, reviewers, checks, labels, and more. It also lets you route PRs to specific Slack channels, filter based on labels or branches, define archiving rules, and customize reminders and notifications. GitHub's integration? Not even close.
Loved by engineering leaders and developers
Trusted by engineering teams who demand better collaboration
Code quality has improved, engineers have a better understanding of what their colleagues are working on, and code is getting shipped much faster. Time from pull request open to review to merge is WAY faster, and engagement with reviews is much higher for our team. Axolo's team is also unbelievably fast in resolving issues when we run into them. Pleasure to work with them.
TylerCTO, Sproutfi
Been an early user & have not found anything else which comes close to improving our PR workflow. Love the way Axolo helps us maintain sanity across our pull request reviews & keeping the entire team on top of what needs their attention. In addition, I love the way the product has evolved over the past few months. The team listens to the customers & delivers above & beyond!
Akshay KatyalHead of Engineering, Backstage
Our developers have really enjoyed the increased focus it brings, which is especially important as our team grows. As a fully remote organization using the correct communication tools is vital, and Axolo balances things nicely.
Joe RowleyVP of Engineering, Curebase
Axolo is an incredible tool for connecting PRs with our everyday engineering discussion on Slack. It integrates seamlessly and makes it so as a manager, I never lose track of my engineers' work. For my engineers, it allows them to discuss and collaborate without losing a thread in different contexts. Overall it keeps us moving swiftly throughout the sprint and continuously reviewing and merging code!
JacobCTO, HeraldAPI
Axolo has made it easier to hold developers and QA engineers accountable for reviewing and merging pull requests on a timely basis. Our average PR time-to-merge was 2.40 days before Axolo, this has been reduced to 1.51 days after only using it for 2 weeks.
DanDirector of Infrastructure, House Rx
GitHub and Slack used to be communication silos for us - discussion about work would exist in one or the other and we'd lose shared context of the work being done. Not anymore!
Mark GoodheadCEO, Longshot Systems
Axolo is an amazing tool that helps to reduce context-switching. Before we installed it, we had to constantly switch between Slack and GitHub to interact with pull requests and provide/receive feedback on them.
DanCTO, Lambda Direct
We used to send each other our GitHub PR links on Slack to ask for a review. Having Axolo made it a zero-effort thing. Having discussions on Slack is much more natural and Axolo does a great job doing it. The support is amazing as well! Arthur and Sydney proactively reach out to ask if we're facing any issues and even released one feature request within hours!
Anubhav MalikCTO, Weekday
Axolo is a must-have for teams using GitHub. My team can discuss pull requests without leaving Slack now. Axolo helped us merge pull requests faster in a more seamless way. I have been waiting for this product for so long!
PawelCTO, Juo.io
I've been a CTO at various companies for a decade now. One of my biggest pain points has always been pull request review responsiveness. I've tried so many home baked solutions. Axolo is the app that solves the problem perfectly.
Dee EvansCTO, Staqfi
✅ Summary: Axolo is collaboration-first.
GitHub's Slack integration is notification-only.
