When I leave a comment on a task, especially when I mention someone, there’s no way to know if they actually saw it. I can tag a user or know they’re subscribed or assigned, but I have no visibility if they opened the task, saw the comment, or if it’s still unread.

This creates a lot of unnecessary follow-ups like “did you see my message?” or forces repeating the same update in other places.

ClickUp should show a simple indicator on the comment itself, such as “Seen by X” or “Seen by all mentioned users,” or even a small read receipt. This should be tracked per user, not globally.

Front.com does this very well, and ClickUp could implement it even better at the task and comment level. Tasks in ClickUp are used as conversations, not just to-do items, and knowing whether someone actually saw a comment would remove a lot of guesswork and friction.

This feels like a small UI change with a big impact on communication clarity.

In addition to being able to mark a task as assigned, in progress, hold up, or completed, add the ability to mark a task as seen. That way assigners know if an assignee has seen a task and just not begun it yet.

Display the icons or names of the members who have seen your comment or reply

Like Monday, it would be helpful to have a feature that lets you know who has seen a comment or update, especially when working with other teams remotely

Monday has a cool feature where you can see if your comment has been seen or not, by whom, and also if it was seen via email or website.

When you hover over it gives you more details.

Comes handy when working with clients or people in general who say they've never seen the comment, when in fact they have :)

In the Chat panel, I think it would be great if I can see who has been read the message and who is typing or something like that.

Dear ClickUp Team,

We are requesting the implementation of Read Receipts in the ClickUp Chat channels (both direct messages and group channels).

This feature is crucial for effective team communication and workflow visibility for the following reasons:

Accountability and Confirmation: When sending important or time-sensitive messages to a team channel, it is often critical to know that the team members have actually seen the communication. Without read receipts, we are left wondering who has received the information and who hasn't.

Reduces Unnecessary Follow-ups: Currently, the lack of confirmation leads to time-consuming, unnecessary follow-up messages just to ask, "Did you see my message?" Read receipts would eliminate this friction and allow the team to focus on the work itself.

Improved Team Trust and Clarity: Knowing when a message was read and by whom (a list of users who have read the message) provides clear visibility and ensures everyone is on the same page regarding important announcements, updates, or decisions.

Suggestion:

We propose a simple visual indicator (like a double checkmark or a "Seen by" link) that shows:

The time the message was read.

A list of team members in the channel who have read the message.

This is a standard feature in many modern communication platforms (Slack, Teams, etc.) and its addition would significantly enhance the usability of ClickUp Chat as a reliable communication hub for our team.

Thank you for considering this essential feature request.
