Turn Slack requests into ClickUp tasks
Keep actionable requests moving from Slack into ClickUp without stopping to retype them.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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
A useful request can vanish in a busy channel before anyone remembers to create a task.
- Keep follow-up work out of the scrollback.
- Preserve the original request context for whoever picks it up.
- Reduce the friction of switching from conversation to task tracking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and ClickUp to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal and describe in one prompt which channel requests should become tasks.
- 3Pick the Slack Channel Message Received trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 4Test it with one real request and confirm the resulting ClickUp task is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does every Slack message become a task?
Describe in the prompt that Notis should create a task only when a channel message contains a clear request or commitment.
Will the ClickUp task keep the Slack context?
Ask Notis to include the relevant message details and source context in the new task.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Adds a guest to a folder with specified permissions; requires a clickup enterprise plan.
