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.
