Escalate roadmap items stuck behind overdue Linear blockers
Each day finds roadmap items whose Linear blockers are past due, then escalates by commenting on Monday and DMing both the blocker and blocked owners with the impact.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
Finds the dependencies that are actually hurting: roadmap items still blocked by Linear issues that have blown past their due date. It quantifies the downstream impact and escalates to the right people so stale blockers get unstuck.
When to use it
Use it when blocked roadmap items pile up silently and the blocking engineering work has slipped its deadline with no visibility to the product owner waiting on it.
How it works
- 1A daily scheduled trigger fires.
- 2An action pulls open blocking Linear issues and flags those past their due date.
- 3A logic step maps each overdue blocker to the Monday roadmap items waiting on it and counts the blocked downstream work.
- 4An action posts an escalation comment on each affected Monday item with the overdue blocker and days slipped.
- 5The output sends Slack DMs to both the blocker's assignee and the blocked item's owner summarizing the impact.
