Make blocked work visible in Breeze
When Slack clearly reports that a known task is blocked by a dependency, move its Breeze card to the team's blocked stage.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Move Card
Tool to move a card to a different stage or position. use after confirming stage id and prev id.
Why this helps
A board can show work as active even after the team has reported that progress is impossible.
- Make impeded work easy to spot in the project.
- Keep board status aligned with clear team updates.
- Help the team focus on tasks that can move forward.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Breeze to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation or tell Notis to move a matching Breeze card when Slack explicitly reports a blocker.
- 3State the blocked stage and require a clear task match in one plain-language instruction; select the channel-message trigger.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test with a real blocker update for a known task.
Questions about this workflow
Will it mark a task blocked for any delay?
Tell Notis to require an explicit statement that the task cannot proceed because of a dependency.
What if the matching card is uncertain?
Instruct Notis not to move anything unless the card and destination stage are clear.
