WorkerB Team Alerts help teams stay ahead of delivery and quality risks by sending real-time notifications to a connected Slack channel. Alerts are configured per team and can be tailored to match your workflow and thresholds.

Connect a team to Slack

To connect a LinearB team to a Slack channel:

  1. Go to Settings > Company Settings (or Team Settings if you’re on a free plan).
  2. Open the Slack tab.
  3. Find the relevant team and click Connect.
  4. Select a public Slack channel for team alerts, and click Save.
What happens next: LinearB posts a message in the selected channel with a Sign me up! button. Team members can use it to set up WorkerB Personal Alerts and Commands.

Need a private channel? Follow Connecting WorkerB to a Private Slack Channel .

Customize team alerts

After a team is connected, you can customize team alerts from either location:

  • Company Settings > Slack > Edit Notifications
  • Team Settings > Notifications

From there, you can:

  • Turn each alert on or off.
  • Adjust thresholds and timing.
  • Change the target Slack channel using the pencil icon next to the channel name.
Note: Alerts disabled for Slack can still appear in the team’s Notification Center inside LinearB.

Manage team alerts and channels
  1. Go to Company Settings or Team Settings, then open the Slack section.
  2. Use the status toggle to enable or disable team alerts.
  3. Click the pencil icon to change the connected Slack channel.

Changes apply only to the selected team.

Interact with alerts in Slack

Each WorkerB alert includes quick links to help you take action:

  • Branch/PR name — opens the item in your Git provider.
  • What should I do? — opens recommended next steps.
  • See all — opens LinearB filtered for similar events.
Only authorized LinearB users can open the dashboard from alert links.
Additional notes
  • You can connect a team to Slack to enable personal alerts, then disable all team alerts if you only want individual notifications.
  • During setup, you can select only public channels. For private channels, invite WorkerB to the channel and follow the private-channel setup flow.
