Add Slack DM context to ClickUp
Preserve decisions from private conversations where work actually gets clarified.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create task comment
Adds a comment to a clickup task; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.
Why this helps
Important decisions stay trapped in direct messages.
- Keep decisions with the work
- Reduce copy and paste
- Improve handoffs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and ClickUp in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named DM decision capture.
- 3Tell Notis to add relevant DM decisions to the ClickUp task identified in the message.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real DM.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis find the task?
Include the ClickUp task ID or a unique task reference in the DM, or provide a lookup instruction.
Will every DM become a comment?
No. Instruct Notis to post only decisions, approvals, or actionable updates.
