Tag-Based Flagging: Visual Priority in Slack
A task gets tagged as 'Bug' in ClickUp. The Slack message gets starred. Your team knows at a glance this is high-priority without reading every message.
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
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Why this helps
Tasks get tagged in ClickUp but Slack shows no visual distinction, so important categorizations (bugs, client-facing, urgent) get ignored by teams working in Slack.
- Tags drive visual cues in Slack (starred messages stand out)
- No context-switching to check ClickUp tags
- Important task categories (bugs, client items) are immediately visible
- Create visual taxonomy without separate Slack workflow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickUp and Slack to Notis via the portal
- 2Create an automation: 'When a tag is added to a task in ClickUp, star the Slack message if it matches [tag name]'
- 3Specify which tags trigger starring (e.g., star for 'Bug', 'Client-Facing', 'Blocked')
- 4Select 'Task Tag Updated' as the trigger
- 5Add a tag like 'Bug' to a test task and see the Slack message star
Questions about this workflow
What if we have lots of tags?
You can be selective: only star for specific tags like 'Critical', 'Bug', 'Client-Facing'. Other tags stay tagged but don't star.
Can we use different actions for different tags?
Yes. 'Bug' could star, 'Client-Facing' could add :client: emoji, 'Blocked' could trigger a reminder.
Will starring confuse people?
No. You control the rule. If you ask 'star for Bug tags only', that becomes the visual signal: a starred message means there's a bug.
