Send Slack updates to ClickUp list comments
Keep project level decisions visible where the whole workstream lives.
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 list comment
Adds a new comment with specific text to an existing and accessible clickup list, assigns it to a user, and sets notification preferences for all list members.
Why this helps
Project updates disappear in chat history and are hard to revisit.
- Create a durable project record
- Improve async visibility
- Reduce repeated status questions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and ClickUp in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Project update mirror.
- 3Tell Notis to post decision and status messages as comments on the specified ClickUp list.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one project update.
Questions about this workflow
Can it ignore casual chat?
Yes. Instruct Notis to post only status, decision, risk, or milestone updates.
Can comments mention the author?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the Slack author and message timestamp.
