Connecting WorkerB to Microsoft Teams

• Microsoft Teams admin access — required to upload and install the WorkerB app in your organization.
• LinearB admin access — required to connect Microsoft Teams to LinearB and generate the invite link.
• Git provider connected — required so WorkerB can monitor pull request and branch activity.

1. Open the Microsoft Teams Admin Center.
2. Upload the WorkerB.zip installation file you downloaded. (If the file was unzipped, zip it again before uploading.)
3. After uploading, go to Apps, search for WorkerB, and install the application.

1. In LinearB, go to Settings > Company Settings.
2. Open the Microsoft Teams tab.
3. Click Connect.
4. When prompted, approve the permissions request.

After a successful connection, LinearB generates a public invitation link. Share this link with your team so each user can connect WorkerB to their personal account.

After WorkerB is installed, connect it to a specific Microsoft Teams channel to receive team alerts.

1. Open the WorkerB app in Teams and type link team.
   • If you have more than 100 teams, type link team -s to use a searchable dropdown.
2. Select your LinearB team and the corresponding Microsoft Teams team.
3. Click Next and wait for the success confirmation.
4. Select the channel where you want WorkerB alerts posted.
5. Click Next again and confirm.

You’ll see a confirmation message in the selected channel once setup is complete.

After connecting a channel, you can control which notifications WorkerB sends and when.

1. Go to Team Settings in LinearB, or open Settings > Company Settings > Microsoft Teams.
2. Find the connected team and click Edit Notifications.
3. Customize:
   • Which notifications your team receives (for example, Work at Risk, Unreviewed PRs).
   • Thresholds that trigger alerts (for example, PR size, review delays).
