⚡ ClickUp n8n Automation Workflows

Ready-made n8n workflows that connect ClickUp with your daily tools. Auto-create tasks, sync statuses, send updates, and keep projects moving without manual copy-paste.

These ClickUp workflows are built for people who live in tasks but hate busywork. Ops leads, project managers, agencies, and support teams use them to turn form entries into tasks, route work to the right assignee, and keep timelines current. You’ll reduce missed handoffs, stop chasing updates in chat, and get cleaner reporting. Honestly, a solid automation here can save about 2 hours a week per team by removing repeated admin steps.

📊 About ClickUp

ClickUp is a work management platform where teams plan, track, and deliver projects in one place. It combines tasks, lists, boards, docs, goals, and dashboards so you can manage work from intake to completion. ClickUp is useful for automation because most processes start or end with a task: new requests, status changes, due dates, approvals, and notifications. When you connect ClickUp to other tools, those events can trigger actions automatically across your stack.

How do I connect ClickUp to n8n?

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.

What can I automate with ClickUp?

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.

Do I need a ClickUp account?

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

What are common ClickUp automation limitations or gotchas?

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.
