Real-Time Monday WIP Guard on Card Move
Fires the instant a card moves into a status column on Monday, blocks the overflow by flagging the card.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerMonday card-moved webhookmonday.com
- ActionCount destination column, read cap from PostgresPostgres
- LogicExit if column still under its WIP cap
- ActionLabel the overflowing card on Mondaymonday.com
- OutputNotify the mover on Slack with count vs capSlack
What it does
Enforces WIP limits at the exact moment of violation. Instead of a periodic sweep, this catches the card that pushed a column over its cap, marks it, and tells the mover immediately so the queue never silently overflows.
When to use it
Use it on fast-moving boards where periodic checks are too slow and people add work mid-sprint. Ideal when the cultural rule is "finish before you start" and you want instant, friendly feedback rather than a daily report.
How it works
- 1A Monday webhook trigger fires when an item changes column.
- 2The flow re-counts the destination column and reads its limit from Postgres.
- 3A logic branch exits quietly if the column is still within its cap.
- 4On overflow, the flow adds a 'WIP exceeded' label to the offending item in Monday.
- 5It identifies the user who made the move and sends a Slack message naming the column, the count, the cap, and a suggestion to pull something to Done first.
- 6The event is recorded in Postgres for trend reporting.
