Automation condition of "is/is not subtask"
complete
Jonathan Leung
I want to be able to filter a ClickUp trigger by "subtask".
For instance, when "Task created", I want to be able to add "if it is a subtask".

Yeah...would love to be able to do this based on a subtasks so that we could "add to" multiple lists when things are created in different spaces.

DONE! 🎆
This has been a long time coming folks and I want to thank you for your patience!
You now have the ability to:
✅ Only trigger automations on tasks
✅ Only trigger automations on subtasks
✅ Trigger automations on both tasks or subtasks (current behavior)
Here's a Video Walkthrough to show how to use the feature.
I anticipate follow-up requests and can't wait to work on those as well. I've tried to merge and compile the ones that I've seen come up below. Please add your votes to the ones you still need to get done! If we've missed anything, let me know:
- Allow Nested Subtasks to also apply for Automations
- Automations | When something happens on a subtask (i.e. status closed), then do something on the parent task
- Automations | When something happens on a parent task (i.e. status closed), then do something on its subtasks
Thank you for your patience and I hope we can save you some time and headaches. 💆♂️
PS: If you'd like to chat with me about automations, I'd love to talk. Just tag me in a comment!

Zach: Will this change be applied to the desktop version of clickup?
Tori Ponce
Zach: Awesome update, Zach! It looks fantastic.
Would love to see this request as an option for subtask automation: https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/let-subtasks-inherit-standardcustom-fields-of-parent-tasks

Subtask automation

is there a possibility, so I can automate on "Subtask" as I do on "Task". Let's say if "Subtask" status changed then (something something)

Hey Zach, once this condition is complete can you put in a good word for this: https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/subtasks-should-inherit-their-parent-tasks-status -- all it will then need is the 'then' part of the equation :-)

Changes to Subtask can change field in Parent task

Still would really like automations to be able to change a field in the parent task when a subtask is closed or changed. Would also need to be able to use some conditions so it only happens for certain subtasks closing.

Zach: Thank you for listening and building it! Great choice of position for that option, it really fits well into the UI

in progress
Yes, this is in progress!
I want to be very clear, as I know there are LOTS of asks on this feature request, here's what's
In Progress
that will ship soon:- Ability to make your automations trigger on tasks OR subtasks OR both
- Slightly updated visuals (ex: the When and Then boxes)
We're going to build this iteratively as we'd like to get you some value, sooner! Requests like "when the parent task is completed, then do XYZ to the subtasks" will come in a second phase. They are certainly not forgotten!
Can't wait to get this in your hands 🙌
