# Daily Blocked PRs alert

This is a daily summary of pull requests that are awaiting action (e.g., a review, a conversation being resolved, or a merge) and were last updated 8+ hours ago\*. &#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
We recommend timing these to arrive before your daily stand-up, so you can discuss as needed there.

**1st line: In the past 3 days**

* **PRs opened:** The number of PRs that were opened. This includes PRs that were opened in a “draft” state.
* **PRs merged:** The number of PRs that were merged.
* **Commits done out-of-hours:** The number of commits that were created outside of the commit author’s usual working hours (as specified on the [Team Settings page).](https://app.multitudes.co/teamSettings)
* These values are filtered for just the people on the selected team, in the past 3 days.

**2nd line: \[NAME] has the most PRs awaiting review (\[X] PRs)**\
This person has the most open PRs that don’t yet have any reviews.

**3rd section: Blocked PRs summary**

* **🔨 \[X] PRs awaiting review:** These open PRs are yet to receive a review. A good opportunity to nudge someone to review this work!
* **👀 \[X] PRs reviewed and awaiting action:** These have had a review, so they’ve been waiting to be resolved and/or merged for more than 8 hours since they were last updated. Maybe worth checking to see if there’s a reply pending, or if it can be merged!

**4th section: Blocked PRs detailed list**

The list only includes PRs that were last updated 8+ hours ago (where “updated” means a commit, edit, comment, or review).

* Hours counted represent absolute time, and are not affected by whether or not it was business hours
* For example, PRs opened on a Friday will show up on the alert on Monday
* This will happen even if on the app you have selected to ‘exclude weekend hours’ for Change Lead Time and Review Wait Time
* This is beneficial for some people who like to be reminded on a Monday of outstanding work from Friday. The alert will never be noisy and send on the weekend itself

{% hint style="info" %}
The list excludes:

* PRs that haven’t been updated in more than 7 days, to avoid surfacing stale PRs day after day
* Draft PRs
* PRs with the string \[do not merge] in the PR title (case insensitive)
