How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerWeekday morning schedule
  • ActionPull open issues with blocked-by linksLinearLinear
  • LogicFilter to cross-team blocks, compute age
  • LogicRank by days stuck, group by blocking team
  • OutputPost ranked digest to SlackSlack

What it does

Every weekday it walks Linear's blocking relationships, isolates the blocks where the blocker belongs to a different team than the blocked issue, and produces a single ranked digest of cross-team logjams sorted by days stalled.

When to use it

Use it when your teams use Linear's native blocks/blocked-by links and leads need one place each morning to see which of their issues are stuck waiting on another team, instead of clicking through every issue.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule trigger fires at a set hour on weekdays.
  2. 2The workflow pulls all open Linear issues that have an active blocked-by relationship.
  3. 3A logic step drops blocks where blocker and blocked share a team, keeping only true cross-team dependencies, and computes days-blocked for each.
  4. 4It ranks the survivors longest-stuck first and groups them by the blocking team.
  5. 5It posts the formatted digest to a Slack channel, with a deep link to each blocker issue.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  2. 2
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  3. 3
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  4. 4
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  5. 5
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
