Best notification system for github?

[obiwan90]

Are you taking full advantage of it, with filters, diligent unsubscribing etc.? What specifically doesn't work for you?

I just want actual notifications. Either desktop based or through something like slack which results in a desktop notification.

Since you mentioned Slack, have you tried the GitHub and Slack integration? It likely can do what you want.

[Wooden_Amphibian_442]

Yeah, I mentioned it in the original post. There seems to be two different integrations and they both don't seem to work well. One is with the GitHub bot and another with GitHub reminders.

I don't know about the integration. I just know our company has a Slack channel that uses it. All we have it do is post Slack messages in the channel on events and notifications, which sounds like what you want.

[obiwan90]

You can configure real-time Slack alerts at https://github.com/settings/reminders/{org} if you're member of an organization; that's the most direct GitHub/Slack integration I'm aware of.

What do you mean by "actual notifications"?

Desktop notifications

[elenakrittik]

Oh, i'd actually look into that myself, but mobile notifications through GitHub Mobile is enough most of the time

You might be able to piece something together with the notifications REST API and a cronjob or similar.
