What it does

This workflow keeps a memory of blockers spoken in Loom standups and matches them to their Linear issues. When a blocker is repeated across several standups and its issue is still open past an agreed threshold, it escalates: the team lead is messaged in Slack, and anything flagged urgent triggers a PagerDuty alert so it doesn't rot.

When to use it

When repeated blockers need a guaranteed escalation path rather than relying on someone noticing the pattern. Best for teams where a stalled dependency can quietly sink a sprint.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule runs after standups are in.
  2. 2Loom transcripts are read and active blockers are extracted with their speakers.
  3. 3Each blocker is matched to its Linear issue and age/status is checked.
  4. 4Logic decides whether a blocker has persisted past the threshold and whether it's urgent.
  5. 5Persisting blockers are escalated to the team lead in Slack.
  6. 6Urgent, long-stuck blockers also raise a PagerDuty incident.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect LoomVideo transcripts, libraries.
  2. 2
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
