Relative Date & Time for Automations (ex: schedule 7 days before due date)
in progress
Joey
Examples:
- "7 days before the start date..."
- "Each Monday..."
- When ANY date changes to ANY date
- Use Date custom fields as automation triggers
- Be able to use Automations to change items such as Due Dates using relative dates, I.E. "Next Monday"
- "When a task becomes overdue I can then set it to 'Done'"
- Etc.

Hey Zach - ClickUp Thanks for the video. I did attempt the # of days before a date, but I'm thinking it's not what I'd hoped it to be for our product launches. I've attached a video with my attempt. https://sharing.clickup.com/clip/p/t9010035556/7fd1b438-82d2-4e1e-9e63-8ec15287fdc6/screen-recording-2025-01-28-14%3A13.webm

Very useful video, thank you!
Zach - ClickUp
We are sooooo close to completing this feature request.
I wanted to dive deep into the WHAT here so you know exactly what will be shipped by the time I complete this feature request. For the 400+ of you that signed up for the beta, happy automating!
If these kinds of videos are helpful, I can share with my colleagues so we can try to do these "peek behind the curtains a little", more often.
Almost there! 🙏

Zach - ClickUp for some reason the video doesn’t play, just spins. I love the idea of a sneak peek though!

Zach - ClickUp I really don't understand how you can plan to close this feature request, when it's only partially meeting the requirements of the original request from 4 years ago.
The requirement below is not being planned for the release, correct?
"Be able to use Automations to change items such as Due Dates using relative dates, I.E. 'Next Monday'"
For our team's use cases, this is by far the most important requirement. After you deploy a solution that does not address this, will we need to post ANOTHER feature request and wait 4 more years for implementation?
Zach - ClickUp
James Guitard: The scope of this feature request is very large with numerous asks so that one got lost in the shuffle, you're correct.
To confirm, you are looking to do something like this?

My vote for name would be: Scheduled time arrives
Tim Jasper
Zach - ClickUp Will this be available for custom dates as well?

Relative Date/Time or On a Schedule seems right to me.
Zach - ClickUp
We're excited to share that we've enabled the Beta for 50 participants so far, thanks to the overwhelming interest and sign-ups! 🙏
Our goal is to ensure a smooth experience by identifying and addressing any performance issues before expanding access. We truly appreciate your patience and support during this phase. Thank you!

Zach - ClickUp how do we sign up?

Zach - ClickUp It is still not working for me.
Christine Shiomi
Zach - ClickUp do we need to enable something for it to work? I signed up our workspace a few weeks back and received the email that its working but don't see it as an option in the date selection. Thanks!

We use google, and everyone has become accustomed to 'Scheduled' meaning it will happen at a scheduled time. So I think 'schedule trigger' or some variation of makes sense for us.

*Option to match the date and times from the master task when the automation is set to add a subtask or nested task.
*Option to also add time not just dates. You can choose date + time or just time. Example: 12hours from tigger or 1 day 10hours from tigger...

Scheduled Time Arrives makes the most sense to me.
