How Do GitHub Slack Reminders Work?
Once a Day
Axolo sends GitHub scheduled reminders at the designated time, calling out specific engineers or reviewers assigned to a pull request. For example, if a PR hasn’t received feedback within a pre-set period (like 3 hours), Axolo will send a reminder at a specific time, such as 9:45 AM France time. This consistent reminder cycle ensures pull requests aren’t forgotten, providing engineers a reliable nudge toward timely action.
Receive Reminders
Set the time of day for GitHub PR reminders to appear in Slack channels, making it easy to maintain consistent review schedules. Axolo’s reminders adapt to your team’s rhythm, whether you prefer Slack notifications in the morning, mid-day, or evening. Axolo’s scheduling flexibility enables your team to integrate reminders into their workflow naturally, improving review quality without adding interruptions.
Snooze Reminders
Not every pull request is ready for an immediate review, so Axolo includes a “snooze” option, allowing engineers to defer reminders for several days if needed. If you know that a specific pull request won’t require action for the next week, simply instruct Axolo to pause notifications for that PR. This keeps your Slack channels focused and prevents unnecessary follow-ups, enabling teams to maintain a smooth workflow.

Loved by engineering leaders and developers

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.

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.
