LinearB integrates with Slack through WorkerB, delivering real-time notifications that help teams stay aligned on development and code review workflows.

WorkerB supports both team alerts in shared Slack channels and personal alerts for individual developers.

Availability: WorkerB is available on paid LinearB plans. Slack integration is not supported on free-tier accounts.
Connect Slack to LinearB

To connect your Slack workspace:

  1. In LinearB, go to Settings → Company Settings → Slack.
  2. Find the LinearB team you want to connect.
  3. Click Connect Slack.
Connect Slack from Company Settings
  1. On the Slack authorization page, review the requested permissions and click Allow.
  2. Return to LinearB and select the Slack channel that should receive the team’s WorkerB notifications.
  3. Click Save.
Note: Slack authorization is required only when connecting a workspace for the first time. Connecting additional LinearB teams to channels in the same workspace does not normally require reauthorization.
Verify the connection

After the connection is saved, WorkerB sends a confirmation message to the selected Slack channel.

The message includes a Sign me up! button. Team members can select this button to begin setting up their personal WorkerB alerts.

Manage WorkerB alerts

WorkerB supports two types of Slack notifications:

  • Team alerts provide shared notifications about review activity, delivery risks, work in progress, goals, and related team activity.
  • Personal alerts provide developer-specific notifications such as review requests, PR reminders, comments, approvals, and CI status updates.

To manage a team’s alert settings:

  1. Go to Settings → Company Settings → Slack.
  2. Find the team whose alerts you want to manage.
  3. Select Edit notifications to enable, disable, or configure the team’s alerts.
  4. Select Edit Slack channel to change the channel where the alerts are sent.

Connect WorkerB to a private Slack channel

Before connecting a private channel, invite @WorkerB to that channel in Slack.

To connect the channel in LinearB:

  1. Go to Settings → Company Settings → Slack.
  2. Find the LinearB team and click Connect Slack. If the team is already connected to a channel, click the pencil icon instead.
  3. Search for the private channel in the channel selector.
  4. If the channel does not appear, select Can’t find your private channel?.
  5. Enter the private channel’s channel ID and channel name.
  6. Click Verify, then click Save.
Important: WorkerB must be a member of the private channel before LinearB can verify the connection or send notifications to it.
