Blocked issues watch

Surface what is blocked every morning so it gets unblocked.

Paste this into AgentBand

Every weekday at 9:30am, find issues on the WEB board in a Blocked status or carrying a blocked flag, and post a list to #standup in Slack with the owner and what each one is waiting on.

Runs Weekdays at 9:30 AM

Blockers hide on the board until someone goes looking. Forge finds every blocked issue each morning, notes who owns it and what it is waiting on, and posts the list to your team, so blockers get raised and cleared instead of sitting for days.

How it works

  1. 1 Find issues in a Blocked status or flagged as blocked on the board
  2. 2 Note the owner and what each one is waiting on
  3. 3 Post the list to your standup channel
