Reminder Loop for Promises Past Due in Linear
Each afternoon it checks Linear for commitment tasks whose due date has passed without being closed.

What it does
Capturing a commitment is only half the job; this workflow closes the loop. On a schedule it queries Linear for open tasks tagged as email commitments whose due date is in the past, then sends you a per-item nudge by Gmail. Items overdue by more than two days get an escalated, more urgent reminder.
When to use it
Use it as the enforcement layer on top of any commitment-capture workflow. It is for people who reliably log promises but then let them age silently. Pair it with the ClickUp or Notion capture templates, or point it at any Linear project you treat as a commitment backlog.
How it works
- 1A daily afternoon schedule fires the workflow.
- 2A Linear action fetches open commitment tasks past their due date.
- 3A logic branch splits items into recently overdue versus more than two days late.
- 4An OpenAI step drafts a tailored nudge for each item, sharper for the escalated set.
- 5A Gmail action sends the reminders to you.
- 6The escalation tier is noted back on each Linear issue for tracking.
