Build Trust By Being Transparent About Stalled Work
Work gets stuck. But your audience doesn't know that - they just see silence and think you've abandoned the project. This automation catches stalled issues and schedules transparency posts, keeping your community informed and engaged.

Action
Set Auto Schedule
Tool to set up an auto-post schedule with specified times and optional weekday filters. use when scheduling posts around a recurring pattern.
Why this helps
Founders often go silent when work stalls, eroding audience trust. Being transparent about blockers builds credibility, but remembering to post about stalled work adds cognitive load.
- Maintains audience engagement even when progress stalls
- Builds trust through transparency about blockers
- Turns stalled work into opportunity for feedback
- Prevents perception of abandonment
- Creates accountability around stuck issues
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Ayrshare to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When an issue hasn't been updated for [X days], schedule a post asking for feedback or sharing the blocker.'
- 3Specify which issue statuses count as 'stalled' (in-progress but not updated, for example).
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by not updating an issue for several days and checking for the re-engagement post.
Questions about this workflow
Won't this make me look bad - announcing that work is stuck?
Transparency actually builds trust. Frame it as 'here's what we're stuck on, here's what we need' - audiences respect honesty far more than silence.
Can I exclude certain projects from this automation?
Yes. Tell Notis which projects are OK to announce as stalled - for example, 'only announce blockers on public projects, not internal work'.
