Blocker Impact Report Generator
Blocked work doesn't silently pile up - impact is visible and unblocking gets prioritized at the right level
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Generate Carbone Report
Tool to generate a carbone report from a template and json data. use when you need to render documents in various formats.
Why this helps
Blocked work sits silently, cascading failures appear weeks later, unblocking gets deprioritized because impact isn't visible
- Blocker impact immediately visible
- Cascading failures prevented before they start
- Unblocking gets prioritized correctly
- Silent failures become transparent
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Carbone to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'When an issue gets the blocked label or status, generate a blocker report showing what's waiting on this issue and the impact'
- 3Notis finds dependent issues, calculates people/work affected, and generates an impact report
- 4Set 'Issue Updated' with blocked status as trigger and notify your leads about new blockers
- 5Test with a real blocker to ensure the report accurately reflects what's waiting and the potential impact
Questions about this workflow
Can the report suggest who should unblock the issue?
Yes. Tell Notis to include 'Recommended: escalate to X team' based on blocker type and it will suggest the right escalation path.
What if a blocked issue has multiple blockers?
The report shows all blockers, helping prioritize which one to solve first to unblock the most work.
Does this replace manual dependency tracking?
It automates the visibility. You still track dependencies in Linear normally - Notis just surfaces the impact automatically so it doesn't get lost.
