Represent approval blockers in ClickUp
Make approval waits visible so blocked work gets attention.
Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Add dependency
Adds a 'waiting on' or 'blocking' dependency to a task, requiring either `depends on` (task becomes waiting on) or `dependency of` (task becomes blocking), but not both; `team id` is required if `custom task ids` is true.
Why this helps
Approval delays look like inactivity when the dependency is not recorded.
- Expose waiting work
- Clarify who or what blocks progress
- Improve escalation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and ClickUp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the approval dependency outcome.
- 3Tell Notis to add the appropriate ClickUp dependency for the related task when a new Todoist task signals approval is required.
- 4Pick the Todoist New Task Created trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one approval blocker.
