What it does

This workflow watches a Monday project board, walks each task's dependency chain, and flags every case where a delayed predecessor now lands after a successor's start date. It then writes a readable briefing that names the slipped tasks, the knock-on items, and the new projected dates, and emails it to the stakeholder distribution list.

When to use it

Run it on the morning of a weekly status meeting, or any time you need a no-spin answer to "what is actually at risk this week?" without manually tracing dependency arrows across a crowded board.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule fires the run.
  2. 2The flow pulls all items, their timelines, and dependency columns from the target Monday board.
  3. 3A logic step compares each predecessor's projected finish against each successor's start, collecting only the genuine slips.
  4. 4If at least one slip exists, OpenAI turns the raw slip list into a concise stakeholder briefing with risk framing and recommended decisions.
  5. 5The briefing is sent as a formatted Outlook email to the stakeholder list.
