Route ClickUp comments to Canvas messages

Send the right update to the right course audience without rewriting it from scratch.

Trigger

Task Comment Posted

Triggers when a comment is added to a task. `changes[]` carries one `CommentChange` entry whose `comment` field is the typed `ClickupComment` object (id, text, user, reactions, etc.).

Action

Create conversation

Use to send messages in canvas by creating a new conversation or adding to an existing one; an existing conversation with the same recipients (and matching scope/filter, if specified) may be reused unless `force new` is true.

Why this helps

Time-sensitive updates sit in task comments while the people affected wait elsewhere.

  • Speeds targeted communication
  • Preserves original context
  • Reduces channel switching

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ClickUp and Canvas in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation describing which comments and recipients to use.
  • 3Pick the ClickUp Task Comment Posted trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one real comment.

Questions about this workflow

Can it reuse an existing conversation?
