Clean up droplets after ClickUp task deletion
Remove abandoned test infrastructure when its project task is intentionally retired.
Trigger
Task Deleted
Triggers when a task is deleted. ClickUp ships no history_items or actor info on deletes — the payload carries only the task_id and team_id.
Action
Delete Existing Droplet
Tool to delete a droplet by id. use when you need to permanently remove an existing droplet after confirming its id to avoid unintended deletions.
Why this helps
Deleted project work can leave forgotten cloud resources running and costing money.
- Reduce orphaned infrastructure
- Support cost control
- Tie cleanup to project lifecycle
Setup

- 3Pick ClickUp Task Deleted as the trigger.
- 4Choose where reports should go.

Questions about this workflow
Is deletion automatic?
Only if the automation instruction confirms the droplet is disposable and identifies its id.
What information does the event provide?
The deletion event provides the task id and team id, so the resource relationship must be available elsewhere.
