By default, LinearB sends WorkerB alerts to public Slack channels. If your team uses private Slack channels, a one-time setup is required to enable notifications.

This article explains how to configure a LinearB team to send WorkerB alerts to a private Slack channel.

Connecting WorkerB to a private Slack channel
  1. Confirm Slack is already connected to LinearB
    If your Slack workspace is not yet connected, follow the steps here:
    Connecting LinearB to Slack
  2. Temporarily assign a public Slack channel
    In LinearB, assign any public Slack channel to the team you want to configure. This temporary step is required to initiate the setup.
  3. Invite the WorkerB bot to the private channel
    In the private Slack channel, type:
    @WorkerB and press Enter.

    This ensures WorkerB is present and allowed to post messages.

  1. Send required details to LinearB Support
    Email the following information to your account manager or to support@linearb.io:
    • Your LinearB organization name or login email
    • The LinearB team name to be connected
    • The private Slack channel name and Slack channel ID
      (To find the channel ID, click the channel name in Slack and copy it from the URL)
  1. Wait for confirmation
    The LinearB team will update the backend configuration and notify you once WorkerB alerts are successfully routed to the private channel.
