Cross-Tool Deadlock Bridge Between Asana and Linear
Joins dependency links from both Asana and Linear into a single graph, detecting deadlocks where an Asana task is blocked by a Linear issue that is itself blocked back through…
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerScheduled run starts
- ActionFetch tasks + dependencies from AsanaAsana
- ActionFetch issues + blocked-by links from LinearLinear
- LogicMerge into unified graph and detect cross-tool cycles
- LogicBranch: bridged cycle found?
- OutputEscalate cross-tool loop to Slack with both leads taggedSlack
What it does
When design tracks work in Asana and engineering in Linear, a deadlock can hide across the tool boundary: an Asana task waits on a Linear issue, which waits on another Asana task. Neither tool's native dependency view can see the full loop. This workflow stitches both graphs together and finds those hidden cross-tool cycles.
When to use it
Use it when two teams use different trackers but share dependencies, and cross-tool blockers are recorded as links or custom fields. It catches deadlocks no single tool can detect alone.
How it works
- 1A scheduled run kicks off.
- 2Pull open tasks and dependency links from Asana.
- 3Pull open issues and blocked-by relations from Linear.
- 4Merge both into one unified graph keyed by cross-references, then run cycle detection.
- 5Branch: if a bridged cycle spanning both tools exists, continue; otherwise exit.
- 6Post the full cross-tool loop to Slack, tagging the owning lead on each side of the boundary.
Set it up
What you configure once, before turning it on.
- 1Connect AsanaTasks, projects, milestones — everywhere.
- 2Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
- 3Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
- 4Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
- 5Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
- 6Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
