Timed Automations
under review
Christopher Lang
Create automations that occur after a set period of time. For example, when a status is changed to xx, change the priority to high after 3 days, hours, etc.

Hey all,
Just wanted to let you know that once this request has been fulfilled, we'll be able to tackle this one.
Both are required on a scheduler which we're building and we want to tackle the request with the most impact to the community.
Stay tuned!
Muhammad Usman
Seriously, its gonna solve a ton of issues for me too! Can't wait!

Zach now, that https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/relative-date-time-for-automations-ex-schedule-7-days-before-due-date has been filled, I hope you are able to tackle this one.
Yes, no, maybe? �

It would be a great addition to our ordering schedule so that buyers get reminded 3 days in advance on tasks that recur monthly rather than as soon as the task has been completed and recurred. for example "Notify watchers/assignee xx days before due date"

tick tock!!

Zach Is there an approximate timeline how long the review stage will last? This feature will be a lifesaver for our team. Thanks!
Oleksandr Zalishchuk
This would be an invaluable feature for us. Our current workflow is failing with the external platform because the webhook automation is triggered before other automations, and we cannot change it.

Hi Zach,
Thanks for reaching out.
For us it would be to wait X time before action.
Thank you

This would resolve so many work-arounds we had to come up with. Can't wait.

Quick question: If we were able to ship an action like this fairly quickly, would you find it useful for your use case here? It would be a simple "Wait X amount of time before proceeding with other actions"
Holly Prohs
Zach yes! This would be very helpful for our workflow 🌟
Miro Kiiski
Zach Yes. This would be the 80/20 with this feature.
Jackson James
Zach yes, definitely

Joe Einhorn
Zach. Perfecto!
L
Lynnette Regouby
Zach yep, exactly - we want to post comments after x days
Lucki Luciano
Zach Extremely useful. Cant think of anyone that uses that automation that would not find that extra option useful.

Ricardo Ribeiro
Zach
YES

Jacopo Biordi
Zach yes
Elise Remissong
Zach This would be wonderful!
Pedro Valério Lopez
Zach Yes, that would be very useful.
Sam
Zach YES. Long term would also be great to be able to set conditional routes like if status is to do, wait 5 days, if status is pending, wait 1 day, etc
Benjamin Wettlaufer
Zach Yes, please do!
O
Oleg Nikolaev
Zach yes - and it would be much more useful, if it would be possible to use a value of other field to set up how long to wait.
S
Shontae Elliott
Zach Absolutely, yes
B
Bruce Rankin
Zach Yes, I would find this helpful.
Nic Asher
Zach yes, v. useful.
Ingrid Carleton
Zach Yes
Rob Geraedts
Zach Not really a usefull option, for us.
Timed automations in my opinion should be:
- Trigger an automation on a certain, repetative period, e.g. every Monday @13:00 hrs. Much like a repeat agenda-item in Outlook.
- Trigger an automation when the current date reaches the value of a custom date field
Russell Brown
Zach Yes this would be an initial help, probably about 75% at least
Olesia
Zach yes!!
Saskia Mardi
Zach This would be super helpful - thank you!
R
Rebecca Santhanasamy
Zach Yes definitely!
Oleksandr Zalishchuk
Zach Yes! I hope that there will be "seconds/minutes/hours" in that dropdown too.
We're using webhooks and syncing some task information with an external platform, and sometimes it fails because we can't make an automation "wait" a little.
Thanks!

Ron Visser
Zach This would fullfill our needs: If status is changed to X, Then after some time set status to Z.
Arnoud Post
Zach Maybe a small addon where you optionally reevaluate the initial trigger. So should the automation continue if the trigger is still true? In some cases you would like to proceed nonetheless, in other situations you want to wait to see if the trigger is persistent before running the rest of the automation.
And also think about the implications for what data is used with this setting. Reevaluate means the latest info? If not, the initial data?
Fr. David Loeffler
Zach I do think that this is forward progress, but I agree with the comments made by Arnoud Post. We should be able to assess a condition after the wait time. For example, when a task's status is changed to "In Progress", wait seven days and then see if it is still "In Progress." If yes, add a tag "Stuck"; otherwise, do nothing.

Ala Pitt
Zach, yes that would work perfectly. Ideally, we would have the choice of minutes, hours, days and weeks.
