How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerDaily schedule fires
  • ActionPull dependency links across Asana projectsAsanaAsana
  • LogicDetect deadlock chains and compute owner and blocked count
  • ActionUpsert a Monday row per chain keyed by stable chain IDmonday.com
  • OutputMove chains absent from today's scan to the Cleared groupmonday.com

What it does

This workflow turns invisible Asana deadlocks into a living Monday board that leadership actually watches. Each detected circular or long-stalled chain becomes a row with the cycle members, the assigned unblock owner, and how much work it is freezing, refreshed every day.

When to use it

Use it when engineering runs on Asana but program and exec reviews happen on Monday. It bridges the two so deadlocks show up where decisions get made, without anyone re-typing status.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule triggers the run.
  2. 2The workflow pulls dependency links across Asana projects.
  3. 3A logic step detects deadlock chains and computes each chain's downstream-blocked count and owner.
  4. 4For each chain it upserts a Monday row keyed by a stable chain ID, updating status and counts if the row already exists.
  5. 5Resolved chains absent from today's scan are moved to a "Cleared" group on the board.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect AsanaTasks, projects, milestones — everywhere.
  2. 2
    Connect monday.comVisual work management for teams.
  3. 3
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
