LinearB can integrate directly with Slack to deliver powerful in-channel insights through WorkerB. This integration supports both team-level and personal alerts, helping you stay aligned with your daily development workflows and review cycles.

WorkerB is available only on paid plans. Free-tier accounts do not support Slack integration.

Setting Up Slack Integration for Your Organization

To connect LinearB to Slack:

  1. Go to Settings > Company Settings.
  2. Select the Slack tab.
  3. Choose the team you want to connect and click Connect Slack.
  1. You’ll be redirected to a Slack authorization page. Click Allow to complete the connection.
This authorization is required only the first time you connect a Slack workspace. Connecting additional teams in the same workspace will not require reauthorization.

This authorization step is only necessary when connecting your first team to Slack. Subsequent team connections will not require this step.

Verifying the Connection

Once connected, your team’s Slack channel will receive a confirmation message. This includes a “Sign me up!” button that any team member can click to start receiving personal alerts from WorkerB.

Managing WorkerB Alerts

LinearB supports two types of Slack notifications:

  • Team Alerts – Insights such as WIP overload, review activity, and goal tracking.
  • Personal Alerts – Tailored to individual developers, including PR reminders and review requests.

To manage your notifications:

  1. Go to the Slack Notifications section in the Slack tab.
  2. Enable or disable specific alerts based on your preferences.
  3. Use the Edit notifications and Slack Channel edit options to configure timing and context for each alert.
