Connecting WorkerB to Microsoft Teams

WorkerB for Microsoft Teams enables personal alerts, actionable pull request notifications, and team-level risk management—all delivered directly within your Teams workspace.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• MS Teams Admin credentials — required to upload the WorkerB application to your Teams org.
• LinearB Admin credentials — required to connect the WorkerB app to LinearB.
• Git provider connection — ensure your Git provider is connected so WorkerB can monitor code activity.

Installing WorkerB into Microsoft Team

1. Open the MS Teams Admin Panel.
2. Upload the WorkerB.zip installation file you downloaded. (If the file is unzipped, make sure to zip it before uploading.)
3. Once uploaded, go to the Apps section in Teams, search for WorkerB, and install the application.

Connecting MS Teams to LinearB

1. In LinearB, navigate to Company Settings > Microsoft Teams.
2. Click Connect.

1. You will be prompted to authorize permissions to connect LinearB and MS Teams.
2. Upon successful connection, a public invitation link will be generated on the LinearB Admin page.

This link allows your team members to connect WorkerB to their personal accounts.

Post the link in a team channel or send it directly to your teammates to invite them to install WorkerB.

Connecting WorkerB to a Teams Channel

Once WorkerB is installed, you can link it to a specific team channel:

1. In the WorkerB app, type link team.
   • If you have more than 100 teams, type link team -s to bring up a searchable dropdown.
2. Select your LinearB team and corresponding MS Teams team.

   

3. Press Next and wait for the success confirmation.

   

4. Choose the MS Teams channel where you want WorkerB alerts posted.
5. Press Next again and confirm the setup.

You will see a confirmation message in the connected channel once setup is complete.

Customizing WorkerB Team Alerts

After connecting a channel, you can customize which alerts WorkerB sends:

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