Create a Dovetail insight when research work is completed
A status change can close the loop on research.
Trigger
Task Status Updated
Triggers when a task's status changes. `changes[]` carries `StatusChange` entries only — ClickUp pre-filters server-side by event type. Lower traffic than subscribing to `CLICKUP_TASK_UPDATED` and pattern-matching `StatusChange`.
Action
Create Insight
Tool to create a new insight in dovetail. use after synthesizing findings when ready to store them. example: "create insight 'q1 user trends' with body '...' for project 'proj 123'."
Why this helps
Marking a task complete rarely produces a shareable record of what was learned.
- Create a consistent completion artifact
- Make findings available beyond the project board
- Highlight unanswered questions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickUp and Dovetail in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that reads the updated task context and creates an insight only when the new status indicates completed research, including findings and unresolved questions.
- 3Pick ClickUp Task Status Updated as the trigger.
- 4Choose where reports go and test with one task moving to its research complete status.
Questions about this workflow
Can it run for every status change?
Tell Notis the completion status names to use and to skip other status transitions.
What if the task has no findings?
Ask Notis to create a short insight that states the evidence is missing and requests the next research step.
