Escalate Coda-logged blockers to leadership in MS Teams
Watches a Coda updates table for entries flagged as blockers, classifies their severity with AI.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

- ActionRate blocker severity and draft summaryOpenAI
- LogicForward only high-severity blockers
- OutputPost escalation to leadership MS Teams channelMicrosoft Teams
What it does
Monitors your Coda team-updates table and catches any entry where someone marked themselves blocked. Rather than forwarding every complaint, it uses AI to judge severity and routes only the genuinely critical, leadership-actionable blockers into an MS Teams channel so they get unblocked the same day.
When to use it
Use this when blockers pile up silently in Coda until the weekly review, costing your teams days. Good for chiefs of staff and program leads who want signal, not noise, surfaced to executives in real time.
How it works
- 1A new or updated Coda row in the Team Updates table triggers the flow.
- 2A filter keeps only rows where the Status column equals "Blocked".
- 3An OpenAI step rates the blocker as low, medium, or high severity and drafts a one-line escalation summary.
- 4A branch drops low and medium items, passing only high-severity blockers forward.
- 5The summary, owner, and Coda row link are posted to the leadership MS Teams channel.
