What it does

Monitors a Monday.com sprint board for additions to a group flagged as locked. It accumulates the estimated effort of every post-cutoff item and, once the running total crosses a configured threshold, escalates a formal scope-breach alert to the PM in Microsoft Teams so a decision happens before the overage compounds.

When to use it

Use this if your team runs sprints on Monday.com boards and wants tolerance-based escalation — small additions pass quietly, but once cumulative creep crosses your limit the PM is pulled in for a go/no-go.

How it works

  1. 1A Monday webhook fires when an item is created in or moved into the sprint board.
  2. 2A logic step confirms the target group is locked and the change came after the cutoff timestamp.
  3. 3An action reads the item's effort column and adds it to the cycle's running creep total.
  4. 4A logic step checks whether the total has crossed the breach threshold.
  5. 5On breach, a Microsoft Teams message escalates to the PM channel with the offending items and the overage amount.
