Automations Manager - Manage everything in one place
future

Alan Ballany
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION
A single place to manage Automations. Browse existing, Create custom, Apply to single and multiple lists, folders and spaces from one place & manage usage.
I have 1 automation that I want to apply to roughly 20 lists, this is a real pain at the moment.
________________
Description created by ClickUp after a survey
Users are requesting a centralized location to manage and view all automation throughout their workspace with a large focus on applying a single automation to numerous different locations.
They want to be able to view automations from different spaces, lists, and folders in one place, and to organize and group them based on their triggers or outputs.
Additionally, users want the ability to create, edit, duplicate, and remove automations from a single location, apply automations to multiple locations, and track the history and analytics of each automation.

October 31stHey everyone 👋
Currently, we are focused on introducing other automation feature requests to enhance your workflows. However, we have not forgotten about this ask. We are currently in the midst of redesigning the automations experience and we'll be reaching out to y'all on this post as we get closer to refined designs. So, no engineering update here yet but it's on our mind.
We’ll share updates here as things progress.

This would be an efficient way to manage and apply automations and would help a lot! Instead of duplicating the same thing to multiple lists or locations (which is a management nightmare) it would be awesome if they could be managed and applied from one location.

Should be able to sort automations and create views with columns you want to see and things of that nature. Currently automations are impossible to manage if you have a lot of them.

Hey Zach. What does Future mean?
Noah James
Angus Innes Going out on a limb here and assuming they're adding this request to an upcoming Sprint, or - more likely, a Roadmap for a future release in 2026 or later.
Zach
Noah James Angus Innes It's something we do plan on building, but we're not actively working on it at the moment.Additionally, this feature request has a lot of sub-requests within it, so we will likely improve bits of it on the path to completing everything.

Yes, this absolutely needs to happen. Managing automations in the current view is a pain - having to go through each list one by one is incredibly frustrating. A better system would significantly boost productivity.

This absolutely needs to be a core feature in ClickUp. This would solve some HUGE admin labour headaches.
We have over 200 lists in our workspace…the pain of having to add automations MANUALLY to each one is incredibly frustrating.
Also, a similar “Permissions Manager” needs to be added.
Onboarding new team members to hundreds of lists, folders, and spaces takes an obscene amount of time.

100% agree. Hate automations because of this one issue.
Joanna Cendrowski
So much time is wasted in managing automation folder by folder or space by space. An automation manager like the custom field manager would be life changing.

Just wasted time trying to track down where to all my different automations, and just want to create 1 automation that acts on all my spaces and lists.
Seemed innocent enough...

I want to be able to see all the automations in one place without having to go folder by folder or space by space, I want to see it globally, at this moment there is no way to be able to see all the automations that there are

Franco CruzTHIS! Gracious. I just realized that there IS an automations manager, but I have to remember exactly which list, inside of which folder, inside of which space in order to find the automation to manage it?! Nope.

Hey Zach do you have an update on this feature request? It's nearly impossible to manage automations at scale across the workspace.
For context, we have about 20 spaces, are adding more almost each month, and have 12-20 automations per space currently. We needed to update a status option used across all spaces, and it broke all the automations using the status option. This issue is also the case for other referenced columns/options. We also want to add and edit automations across all spaces frequently to improve efficiency. The only way to solve for this currently is to go into each space, and each automation to fix and make an update. This tasks takes days every time we want to make a change, which is often monthly. Being able to manage a template automation or single automation from a centralized location that's used across all spaces/folders/lists would be a GAME CHANGER.
