Keep a history of changing task estimates
Estimates change as you learn more about the work. Record each update in Sheets to make planning assumptions easier to revisit.
Trigger
Task Time Estimate Updated
Triggers when a task's time estimate is set, changed, or cleared. `changes[]` carries `TimeEstimateChange` entries only; `before` and `after` are millisecond strings or `null`.
Action
Append Values to Spreadsheet
Tool to append values to a spreadsheet. use when you need to add new data to the end of an existing table in a google sheet.
Why this helps
A task's current estimate can hide how much the original plan changed.
- Review estimate changes over time
- Capture set, changed, or cleared estimates
- Use the history when planning similar work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickUp and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the estimate history.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to append each estimate change and available task details, including before and after values.
- 4Choose the ClickUp Task Time Estimate Updated trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real estimate update and check the result in Sheets.
Questions about this workflow
Can cleared estimates be recorded?
Yes. The event's before and after values can be millisecond strings or null.
Does this compare estimates with actual time?
No. It logs estimate changes. Comparing with tracked time would require the relevant actual time data and a separate analysis.
