Use them together.
Rocketlane runs the onboarding plan. Unblockd adds the decision loop for anyone else you wait on, with options, a recommendation, and follow-ups that go out for you.
- Questions they can answer
- Each blocker becomes one question with the options written out, your recommendation marked, and the day you need it.
- Follow-ups that send themselves
- If an ask waits 3 days, a reminder goes out for you, and another before the deadline. Nudge or escalate in one tap.
- Progress with proof
- Your sponsor sees each deliverable’s progress with the doc, PR, or demo behind it. A task can only be marked done with its proof attached.
- Your AI drafts, you approve
- Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, or Cursor can draft asks and updates through MCP. A person on your team approves what goes out.
When to use both
Keep Rocketlane as it is. Adding Unblockd pays off when any of these sound familiar.
- The person you wait on isn’t in the customer portal: an internal exec, a partner, or a vendor.
- Decisions need written options, a recommendation, and follow-ups that send themselves.
- Your team wants one list of asks across onboarding and other projects.
