What it does

Each morning this workflow finds every monday.com item that is blocked by another item whose deadline has already passed, then sends leadership a plain-English digest of which deliverables are now at risk and why.

When to use it

Use it when execs want a single daily read on dependency risk across many monday.com boards rather than clicking into each board. It surfaces the slips that have already happened and are about to ripple outward.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger runs every weekday at 8am.
  2. 2The workflow queries the relevant monday.com boards for items in a blocked state.
  3. 3A filter keeps only items whose linked dependency has a due date in the past.
  4. 4OpenAI summarizes each cluster into one line: what is blocked, by what, how late, and the downstream owner.
  5. 5It ranks the clusters by how many downstream items each slip threatens.
  6. 6It emails the ranked digest to the project leads via Outlook.
