What it does

This workflow bridges engineering and delivery. When a GitHub PR that a ClickUp task is waiting on sits without review or merge beyond an SLA, it computes how stale the PR is, marks the dependent ClickUp task as at-risk, and tells the waiting team in Slack exactly which PR is holding them up.

When to use it

Use it when delivery tasks quietly depend on code that is stuck in review. It surfaces the real cause of a blocker (a stalled PR) to the non-engineering team who would otherwise just see "in progress."

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled check runs against linked GitHub PRs.
  2. 2It reads each PR's last activity and review state.
  3. 3Due-date math compares PR staleness against the SLA and the downstream task's deadline.
  4. 4PRs within SLA are skipped; breaches continue.
  5. 5The downstream ClickUp task is set at-risk and the dependent team is alerted in Slack with the PR link and its age in days.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  2. 2
    Connect ClickUpDocs + tasks + chats in one workspace.
  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.
