Make blockers visible before they stall work
Record what a task is waiting on and tell the Ably channel which work needs attention.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add dependency
Adds a 'waiting on' or 'blocking' dependency to a task, requiring either `depends on` (task becomes waiting on) or `dependency of` (task becomes blocking), but not both; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.
Why this helps
A blocker buried in chat can leave a task idle while everyone assumes someone else has noticed.
- Make waiting work visible in ClickUp
- Clarify which task is blocking progress
- Share the blocker with the team
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and ClickUp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to add the stated dependency between the identified tasks and broadcast the blocker through Ably.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real blocker and check the dependency direction and channel update.
Questions about this workflow
Can a task both depend on and block another in one action?
