LinearB can send WorkerB alerts to both public and private Slack channels. Connecting a private channel requires inviting WorkerB to the channel and entering its details in LinearB.

This article explains how to connect a LinearB team to a private Slack channel.

  1. Confirm that Slack is connected to LinearB
    If your Slack workspace is not yet connected, follow the instructions in:
    Connecting LinearB to Slack
  2. Open the Slack settings in LinearB
    In LinearB, go to Settings → Company Settings → Slack. Find the team you want to connect, then click Connect Slack. If the team is already connected to a channel, click the pencil icon instead.
  3. Open the private-channel connection form
    LinearB displays the available Slack channels. You can search for a channel by name.

    If your private channel does not appear, click Can’t find your private channel?

  4. Invite WorkerB to the private Slack channel
    Open the private channel in Slack and invite @WorkerB to the channel.

    WorkerB must be a member of the private channel before LinearB can verify the connection or post notifications.

  5. Copy the Slack channel ID
    In Slack, open the private channel and click its name to view the channel details. Open the About tab and copy the channel ID shown at the bottom.
  6. Enter and verify the channel details
    Return to LinearB and enter:
    • The private Slack channel ID
    • The private Slack channel name
    Click Verify.
  7. Save the connection
    After LinearB successfully verifies the channel, click Save.

    WorkerB can now send the selected team’s notifications to the private Slack channel.

Troubleshooting

If LinearB cannot verify the private channel:

  • Confirm that @WorkerB is a member of the private channel.
  • Confirm that you copied the complete channel ID from Slack.
  • Confirm that the channel name matches the private channel in Slack.
  • If verification continues to fail, contact support@linearb.io.
