PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Reconcile mismatched blocker states between Asana and Linear

A scheduled agent audits linked Asana and Linear items, finds pairs where one says Blocked and the other doesn't, decides the correct state, and fixes the drift.

What it does

Runs a reconciliation pass over every linked Asana-Linear pair and repairs blocker drift. When one tool shows an item as Blocked but its counterpart looks open and active, the agent reasons about which state is current and brings both into agreement, logging every correction it makes.

When to use it

Use it as a safety net behind your real-time sync flows, which can miss events during outages or manual edits. Best for teams running active two-way blocker mirroring who want a nightly self-healing audit instead of discovering inconsistencies during a release.

How it works

  1. 1A nightly schedule triggers the reconciliation agent.
  2. 2The agent pulls all cross-linked pairs from Asana and Linear and compares their blocker states.
  3. 3For each mismatch it inspects recent activity and comments to decide which side reflects reality.
  4. 4It updates the out-of-date side, removing or applying the Blocked status to match.
  5. 5It compiles every change into a reconciliation summary and posts it to Slack for the team to review.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

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