Daily Blocked PRs alert

PreviousTypes of AlertsNextTrend Summary alert

Last updated 1 month ago

Was this helpful?

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*.

We recommend timing these to arrive before your daily stand-up, so you can discuss as needed there.

*If you want to see real-time blocked PRs, you can do so by using our AI Coach Slackbot via slash commands!

Here's an example:

Daily Blocked PRs alert example

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).

  • 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

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)
