Monday dependency conflict escalation with auto-scheduled Zoom

When shifting a slipped dependency chain would push a downstream milestone past a hard deadline, this escalates by drafting the conflict.

What it does

Some slips can't just be absorbed by moving dates because a downstream item has a fixed deadline (a launch, a contract date). This detects when a recomputed chain would breach such a hard date, then escalates instead of silently overwriting: it drafts the conflict, schedules a Zoom call with the affected owners, and shares the agenda.

When to use it

Use it when some milestones are immovable and a date conflict needs a human decision (re-scope, add resources, or move the fixed date) rather than an automatic shift.

How it works

  1. 1A Monday Due Date column change triggers the flow on an upstream item.
  2. 2The flow recomputes the downstream chain and checks each item's deadline against any locked milestone date.
  3. 3A branch fires only when the recomputed schedule breaches a hard deadline; absorbable slips are ignored.
  4. 4OpenAI drafts a conflict brief naming the bottleneck, the breached milestone, and options.
  5. 5It schedules a Zoom call with the impacted owners and posts the brief plus join link to Slack.
