PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Daily digest of blockers stuck too long across Asana and Linear

Each morning this scans both Asana and Linear for items in a Blocked state longer than a threshold and posts a ranked aging report to a Slack channel.

What it does

Produces a single daily report of every blocker that has been sitting too long, pulling from both Asana and Linear. It ranks them by how many days they have been stuck and surfaces the owner, so stale dependencies get attention before they slip the schedule.

When to use it

Use it when blockers accumulate quietly and nobody notices a task has been Blocked for two weeks. Great for a program lead or scrum master who wants a standing aging report in the team channel every morning without building a dashboard.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger runs each weekday morning.
  2. 2The flow queries Asana for tasks carrying the Blocked tag and Linear for issues in Blocked states.
  3. 3A logic step computes days-in-blocked for each item and filters to those past the staleness threshold.
  4. 4It sorts the combined list oldest-first and formats a digest with owner, age, and source tool.
  5. 5The digest is posted to a designated Slack channel; if nothing is stale, it posts a short all-clear note.
