Do we need to have a certain number of comments to get this moved to the planned section?

Based on text in the name, description or the email address that was used to email a task to a list.

YES, WHERE IS THIS FEATURE!? This request is almost 5 years old.

It is 2025 ClickUp!! Where is this basic feature?
Tranell Montague
Michael Whitehurst you can say that again.

I'm not sure why this basic feature isn't already available!? Seems so simple and common sense to be able to have a word based filter as a trigger.
I am looking to sort tasks that clickup creates from incoming email action items to be able to move the tasks into the appropriate List (which I have set per project). Depending on what the email created task is also depends who it is assigned to. Instead I have to manually drag the tasks to the respective lists, and manually assign them to the responsible person...
Just asking for a simple filter option for Task Name -
if task name = 'X'
if task name contains 'Y' (with option for case sensitive or non-case sensitive)

Diane Borys I couldn't agree more. This would make life a lot easier.

Agreed, this would allow me to make 95% of the automations I am thinking of to help me increase work flow.

This is insane. Every time I go to create an automation, it can't do what I want. The most basic things. Like this. I have an integration that creates a task and appends something to it, but I can't detect it because this basic feature doesn't exist. Why is it ALWAYS like this. Platforms create useless automation features and ignore the most basic ones. You already have ALL THE OTHER FIELDS accessible by the automation. WHY NOT NAME! AHHHH

Jason Oeltjen I keep running into these situations. It's maddening.

Please do!

Is this even being considered? This post was from over 4 years ago!

I would love to have a feature like this. My case is that when our internal support or sales people make a ticket would we like to assign the ticket to different people, depending on what it is about. So specific Buzz words like ATEM , DC: etc will be assigned directly to me.
