Managing WorkerB Team Alerts for Slack
Configure real-time WorkerB Team Alerts in Slack to monitor PR risks, delivery bottlenecks, and critical team metrics—fully customizable per team and channel.
WorkerB Team Alerts help development teams stay ahead of delivery and quality risks by sending real-time notifications to a connected Slack channel. These alerts are configured per team and are fully customizable to match your team’s workflow.

Connecting a Team to Slack
To connect a LinearB team to a Slack channel:
- Go to Company Settings (or Team Settings if you’re a free user).
- Navigate to the Slack tab.
- Locate the relevant team and click Connect.
- Choose a public Slack channel for team alerts and click Save.
⚠️ At this point, a message is posted in the channel with a button that allows team members to set up their own WorkerB Personal Alerts and Commands by clicking Sign me up!

For private channels, follow this guide to complete the additional setup steps.


Customizing Alerts
Once connected, team alerts can be fully customized by navigating to:
- Company Settings > Slack > Edit Notifications, or
- Team Settings > Notifications Tab
There, you can:
- Enable or disable each alert using toggles.
- Adjust thresholds and timing for each alert.
- Change the Slack channel for alerts using the pencil icon next to the channel name.
❗ Alerts turned off for Slack will still appear in the team’s Notification Center within LinearB.

Interacting with Alerts in Slack
Each WorkerB alert sent to a channel includes:

- “See all” – Opens your LinearB dashboard filtered for similar events.

Only authorized LinearB users can access the dashboard via alert links.

Additional Notes
