Managing WorkerB Team Alerts for Slack

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:

1. Go to Company Settings (or Team Settings if you’re a free user).
2. Navigate to the Slack tab.
3. Locate the relevant team and click Connect.
4. 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.

1. Go to Company Settings or Team Settings, then navigate to the Slack section.
2. Use the status toggle to turn alerts on or off.

   

3. Click the pencil icon to change the connected channel.

   

Changes apply only to the selected team.

Interacting with Alerts in Slack

Each WorkerB alert sent to a channel includes:

• Branch/PR name – Click to open in your Git provider.
• “What should I do?” – Takes you to an article recommending next steps.
• “See all” – Opens your LinearB dashboard filtered for similar events.

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

Additional Notes

• You can use the team alert setup solely to enable personal alerts, then disable all team alerts if desired.
• Only public channels can be selected during the setup process. For private channels, contact support after inviting WorkerB to the channel.
