Slack Notifications with Automations
planned
Joren Rapini
I've always wanted to define rules in order to get additional notifications - for example, send me a Slack DM (or post to a channel) if a task with a high/urgent status is changed/commented on, something like that. It seems like Automations have the flexibility to do just this if Slack were integrated.

Hi everyone.
Slack automations feature is on our roadmap for the next quarter. Thank you all for participating in our survey. In case you haven't yet shared your feedback, please take 2 minutes to share your thoughts here

Looking to create an automation with Slack and super surprised we are unable to do this. This would be a great help to our team!

Looking for this for a long time. Moving back to clickup from smartsuite and wondering why we cannot use Slack in our automations? Felt like we just went backwards. Can we ensure that slack can be put into the automation framework going forward? 2025 and no slack in automation?

We need this! Surprised in 2024 (almost 2025) this is not available. This is critical functionality and should be one of the basic automations available. Our use case would be using Automations to send updates (comments and status changes) on a task, to a Slack channel (using a custom field for the slack channel name). Please add! Thanks

Hi all!
We're exploring creating Slack Automations, and we would love your feedback. Please take 2-minute survey below to share your thoughts.
Thanks!

Amber - ClickUp this is very much slack -> clickup focused, correct?
My aim would be other way around, slack actions based on clickup triggers. E g posting slack message on certain status change.

I need actions! When a task is entered or changed to Urgent, I'd need a Slack notification for our Support team. Right now I have a crazy workaround that just broke!

Hey everyone! Want to understand the needs here more. What specifically would you like to see here if we had to build triggers or actions first?,.
Triggers: Actions in Slack that trigger automations in ClickUp. For example:
- When a message is posted in a specific Slack channel, create a task in ClickUp.
- When a user reacts with a specific emoji, update a task status in ClickUp.
Actions: Actions in ClickUp that trigger notifications or messages in Slack. For example:
- When a task status changes to "High Priority," send a Slack message to a channel.
- When a custom field is updated, send a direct message to a specific user in Slack.
Thank you! 🙏
Tasha Raynard
Yes! This is great.
My ideals are:
- when task status is changed to [status] send notification to [channel]
- when task status is changed to [status] send notification to [person] assigned to [custom field]

Hi Zach,
By my side, i need more triggers :
- task added in a specific list (the more important for me - when a task is an emergency, it's added to the global list of urgent tasks in order to be treated by the first person who is available. i need an alert in the emergency channel in slack when it happens)
- task changed with a specific status (same : i need an alert when a client changes the status of his emergency task by "urgent return to treat")
optional :
- task arrived to its due date
- to have choice to filter the triggering tasks at least by type, and maybe by tag or custom field (the best)
- new comment by a person of a specific team (I need an alert when a client comments but not when it's someone of my company)
(currently i make automations - with the triggers i need - that creates a new task in a list to send the alert in slack. it works, we're alerted well, but we have to go into the alert task to click on the real task link)
The ideal solution should be to be able to send slack alerts through the automations panel.
Thank you

Zach actions please
Amber Stief
Zach Actions would definitely be more helpful for us.

Zach - I would say actions in clickup that trigger messages to be sent to Slack would be priority. For example, if someone leaves a comment on a task, we would ideally want to send a Slack DM to the people that were tagged. Figma, Google Drive, and Miro do this functionality well & that is ideal for our team.

Merged in a post:
When X happens, send this Slack message
Crosby Rothey
Airtable has a feature that allows you to set up an automation that sends a custom slack message. For example, if something gets marked "Quality Control," send a "Something is ready for review!" message straight to the project manager. We found that invaluable.

ClickUp to Slack notifications are very noisy because we are not able to input specific criteria. Having the ability to only fire the notification if, for example a specific custom field is set would be incredibly helpful. It would actually make CU to Slack notifications useful.
