Unexplained Anomaly SLA Escalator
Monitors open GL anomaly explanation tasks on Monday and, as the close lock deadline approaches, nudges overdue owners in Slack and escalates anything still unexplained…
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerSchedule fires hourly on final close days
- ActionRead open anomaly tasks from Monday boardmonday.com
- LogicBucket into approaching-due, overdue, past-cutoff
- ActionNudge owners of due and overdue tasks in SlackSlack
- ActionEscalate past-cutoff items via PagerDuty incidentPagerDuty
- OutputUpdate standing close-status line in SlackSlack
What it does
This workflow enforces the explanation SLA. It reads the open anomaly tasks on the Monday close board, checks each against its due time relative to the lock deadline, and applies a tiered response: a friendly Slack nudge to the owner when a task is approaching due, and a PagerDuty escalation to the close manager for anything still missing an explanation at the hard cutoff.
When to use it
Use it on the final day or two of close when unexplained variances directly threaten on-time sign-off. Built for close managers who need overdue explanations surfaced loudly instead of discovered during the final review.
How it works
- 1A schedule fires every few hours on the last close days.
- 2A Monday query returns open anomaly explanation tasks with owners and due times.
- 3A logic step buckets tasks into approaching-due, overdue, and past-cutoff.
- 4Approaching-due and overdue owners get a direct nudge in Slack.
- 5Past-cutoff unexplained items trigger a PagerDuty incident to the close manager.
- 6A standing status line in Slack is updated with counts per bucket.
