Live Handoff Watcher for Standup Channel

Triggers on each new Discord standup message, detects when someone hands work to a teammate, and DMs the named receiver immediately so cross-timezone handoffs are never missed.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerNew message posted in Discord standup channelDiscordDiscord
  • ActionDetect handoff and extract receiver and taskOpenAI
  • LogicContinue only if a real handoff is present
  • ActionDM the named receiver with task and source linkDiscordDiscord
  • OutputEscalate to lead if unacknowledged in windowDiscordDiscord

What it does

Watches the standup channel in real time rather than waiting for an end-of-window batch. When a message names another teammate as the next owner of a task, it pings that receiver directly so the handoff is acknowledged even if they come online hours later.

When to use it

Use it when handoffs in standup get addressed to people who are offline and then drift for a full day. This catches the handoff the moment it's written and routes it to the right person, with a fallback to the team lead if it stays unacknowledged.

How it works

  1. 1A new-message event in the Discord standup channel triggers the workflow.
  2. 2An LLM step decides whether the message contains a handoff and extracts the named receiver and the task.
  3. 3A filter drops messages with no handoff so only real ones continue.
  4. 4The workflow resolves the receiver to their Discord user and sends a direct ping with the task and a link to the original message.
  5. 5If the receiver hasn't reacted within a set window, it escalates the handoff to the team lead in the channel.
