Pick a ClickUp workflow on Flowpast, then open it in n8n. You’ll be prompted to add ClickUp credentials (usually via OAuth or an API token) and select your Workspace and Space/List. Next, map the fields you care about, like task name, assignee, due date, and status. Run a test execution to confirm it can create or update a task. Finally, turn the workflow on and set the trigger you want, such as a webhook, schedule, or form submission.

A lot. New lead comes in? Create a task, assign it, and post a Slack update. Status changes? Send a Gmail email, move a file in Google Drive, and log a row in Google Sheets for reporting. You can also generate task descriptions or summaries with OpenAI, auto-tag tasks, and keep clients updated on milestones. The goal is simple: work moves forward even when no one is watching.

Yes. n8n needs access to your ClickUp Workspace to read and write tasks, lists, and statuses.

The biggest issues are permissions, naming, and structure. If your ClickUp user can’t access a Space or List, the workflow will fail, so confirm roles first. Custom fields are powerful, but they must be mapped correctly (and kept consistent across lists) or your data gets messy. Also, avoid triggering loops, like “task updated” causing another update repeatedly. Frankly, a clean task taxonomy beats clever automation every time.
