SUMMARIZATION
Blocked-card thread summary to Coda log plus Slack alert
When a card gets a Blocked label, summarize the comment thread into the blocker and proposed unblock, log it to a Coda escalation tracker, and ping the owner in Slack.

What it does
The moment a Trello card is tagged Blocked, this workflow reads the thread, extracts what is blocking it and the proposed path forward, records the blocker in a Coda escalation tracker, and sends the card owner a Slack nudge with the summary. It closes the gap between a card silently stalling and someone actually owning the unblock.
When to use it
Use it when blockers languish because no one notices the label change or reads the thread. Great for delivery teams that need every blocker visible in one Coda view and surfaced to the right person in real time.
How it works
- 1A Trello webhook fires when the Blocked label is added to a card.
- 2The flow fetches the card's comments and assigned members.
- 3An OpenAI call distills the blocker, its cause, and the proposed unblock step.
- 4A new row is appended to the Coda escalation tracker with severity and owner.
- 5A Slack message is sent to the card owner with the summary and card link.
