Use case
Engineering managers
See pull request and merge request activity in Slack without drowning your team in notifications. MergeMe keeps code review visible in the channels your engineers already use.
The manager view
Engineering managers need visibility into what is in review, what is blocked, and who is waiting on feedback - without adding another dashboard to check. Slack is where your team already coordinates. The problem is that default GitHub and GitLab Slack apps create so much channel noise that people mute them.
What goes wrong with default Slack apps
- A new Slack message for every PR/MR event buries the signal
- Engineers mute the channel and reviews slip through the cracks
- Hard to scan open PRs when status updates are scattered across posts
- Pickup time suffers when reviewers do not see requests in a timely way
What MergeMe gives your team
- One updating Slack card per pull request or merge request - easy to scan in the channel
- Status badge updates as the PR/MR moves through review, approval, and merge
- Thread replies keep review discussion on the card instead of fragmenting the channel
- Per-repo channel routing sends frontend PRs to #frontend and platform MRs to #platform
- Label routing for teams that organise work by label (bug, release, etc.)
Getting started

Reducing notification spam: GitHub PR notifications without spam and stop GitLab Slack notification spam.
FAQ

- MergeMe keeps one readable Slack card per PR/MR in the channels your team already uses. Managers can scan open reviews without a separate dashboard or a flooded notification channel.
- Will my team mute the channel less often?
- Teams typically mute channels when every PR event becomes a new message. One updating card per PR/MR keeps signal high and noise low.

- How much does MergeMe cost for a small team?
- Hobby is free (1 channel mapping, 5 user mappings). Team plans start from £5 per developer seat per month with a 10-seat minimum.
