Push Monday roadmap date slips back to the Linear epic

When a planner moves a Monday roadmap item's timeline, it updates the linked Linear epic's target date and flags the engineering owner so the plan stays authoritative in both…

What it does

Closes the reverse direction of roadmap sync. When leadership reschedules a deliverable on the Monday board, this writes the new target date onto the corresponding Linear epic and notifies the epic's owner, so engineering isn't working against an outdated plan.

When to use it

Use it when planning conversations happen in Monday but execution tracking lives in Linear. It stops the common failure where exec moves a date and engineering never hears about it.

How it works

  1. 1A Monday webhook fires when a roadmap item's timeline column changes.
  2. 2A filter confirms the item has a stored Linear epic ID and the date actually moved by more than a day.
  3. 3The flow reads the current Linear epic to capture the old target date and owner.
  4. 4It updates the Linear epic's target date to match Monday.
  5. 5It branches: if the date slipped later, it posts a direct Slack DM-style alert to the owner; if it pulled earlier, it posts a lighter heads-up in the team channel.
  6. 6It logs the before/after dates in the Slack message for an audit trail.
