Capture sent email commitments in ClickUp
Make sure promises you make by email become visible work you can finish.
Trigger
New Sent Message
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Create a task
Creates a new clickup task in a specific list, optionally as a subtask if a `parent` task id (which cannot be a subtask itself and must be in the same list) is provided.
Why this helps
Sent-email commitments disappear into archives after the conversation ends.
- Track promises you make
- Reduce missed follow-ups
- Keep commitments out of your head

- 4Choose a report channel and test with one real commitment email.
Questions about this workflow
Can it ignore routine replies?
Yes. Instruct Notis to create tasks only for explicit promises, deliverables, or dates.
Can it include the recipient?
