Keep Dovetail topics aligned with ClickUp tag changes
Let evolving labels keep your research themes understandable.
Trigger
Task Tag Updated
Triggers when a tag is added to or removed from a task. `changes[]` carries `TagAddChange` and/or `TagRemoveChange` entries. Adds use ClickUp's `field == "tag"`, removes use the undocumented `field == "tag_removed"`; both are normalised into the typed change classes.
Action
Update Topic
Tool to update an existing topic. use after confirming the topic id and fields to change. example: "update topic with id 123... to have title 'new'".
Why this helps
A theme changes over time, but its Dovetail topic description stays frozen.
- Keep topic language current
- Make evolving themes easier to search
- Reduce manual repository cleanup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickUp and Dovetail in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that identifies the matching Dovetail topic for an added or removed research tag and proposes or applies a focused title or description update.
- 3Pick ClickUp Task Tag Updated as the trigger.
- 4Choose where reports go and test with one tag change tied to an existing topic.
Questions about this workflow
Can it update a topic automatically?
Yes, if your instruction gives permission and the matching topic is unambiguous; otherwise it should report a proposed change.
What if the tag is removed?
Ask Notis to explain the impact and update the topic only when the remaining context supports it.
