Create or Use List/Folder as an Automation Trigger and Action
complete
Caleb Lewallen
I'd like to be able to use an automation to create a list.
My specific use case is that we're using clickup to organize the work for our app builds. There's a LOT of work to track, so I have a list of tasks where I start collecting requirements for our product functions/epics. But, once I get to a certain point I want to start writing stories on those functions, so I need to create a list of stories related to that function.

Hey Zach - ClickUp, I see I can create a list as an automation action, but it seems like I can't create a list (from saved template). Is that correct?

This automation isn't creating a list for me when I change the status of a task/subtask (even that is weird as I have a "subtask/item" listed under a parent task but they're both apparently "Task" if they're nested on a list?).
Issue: I change the status of the task/subtask and a list isn't being made in the other workspace labeled 'Personal'?

Hello, how's the situation with automated 'Create folder from template' going?:) Any possible time soon to be delivered? <3

This is great, thank you!
I agree, the ability to use a list template with this Create List automation would be super helpful.

Nice!! Please, apply a list template automation or create a list from a template automation =))

Hey everyone!
First I want to recognize that we've partially completed this feature request. To make it easier for you and I to properly address the follow up work that needs to be done, I've linked the two other main asks I saw here. Please vote on the one(s) that you would like to be worked on!
"Create list" action is officially here! Now you can more easily set up locations for when you close that deal. Check it out today and let us know if you have any feedback.
Thank you!

Zach - ClickUp: Please let me know if you will also be able to duplicate an exisiting folder - Use Case: Client folder is templated and use automation to duplicate the client folder and rename it to the client name, using automation.

Zach - ClickUp: Yay! This is a great one! Now the "List created" trigger please ))
Use Case: Whel list/folder created, apply a template
Zach - ClickUp
Liam McDonald: I'm thinking that Apply template to List/Folder/Space is something that might be even more helpful. Right now we just apply templates to tasks. What do you think about that?
Andrey Vensky: I see the votes starting to rise on that one! Thanks for the use case

Zach - ClickUp: definitely
Kea Allen
Zach - ClickUp: Applying a template to the list would be super helpful.
Zach - ClickUp
Kea Allen: Agreed, that would be huge to add in. Aware of this!
Harrison Bolton
Zach - ClickUp: folder/list templates is critical for agency ops too. Zenpilot mentions it!
Ignacio Martinez
Zach - ClickUp would it be possible to have events on lists and not only tasks/subtasks ? like "list is created" etc

in progress
We have a "Create List" action coming your way soon!
We'll probably want to split this feature request up once it goes live to make sure we can capture the other requests here.
Thanks all
Zach - ClickUp
