More Granular Slack Notification Options

I would like to have more control over Slack notifications. Such as only getting notices when a task is marked as complete, not every time the status is changed.
It would also be nice to get a private notification in Slack when a task assigned to me has an upcoming due date.
A bot in Slack would be helpful as well. Where I could ask what do I have coming up or to tell me the status of a task.

New: Slack Automations in ClickUp!
Hey everyone — we’re excited to share that you can now set up custom Slack notifications for nearly any event in ClickUp using Automations!
This highly requested feature gives you full control over what gets posted to Slack and when—so your team can stay aligned without missing a thing.
What’s now possible?
You can now mix Slack triggers and actions with any ClickUp event to build your perfect workflows. For example:
- Send Slack messages when a task is created, status changes, due date arrives, or custom fields update.
- Add dynamic data like task name, link, assignee, and custom fields directly into your Slack messages.
- Trigger alerts when checklists are completed, subtasks are resolved, or tasks are marked urgent.
- Use Slack triggers like “New message posted” or “New reaction added” to kick off actions in ClickUp.
- Send reminder-style messages to Slack when due dates arrive.
Looking for a trigger or action that’s not available yet?
We’re just getting started. If there’s a specific ClickUp event you want to automate—but don’t see yet—please add your request in Feature Request Canny board. Your feedback helps us prioritize what to build next!
Who can use this?
- Available on ClickUp’s Business Plan and above
- Requires a connected Slack integration. Learn more how to connect Slack in ClickUp here.
How to get started?
Head to Automations in any Space, Folder, or List, and look for Slack triggers and actions to get started.
We’d love to see what you build—share your favorite use cases in the comments!

It doesn't work when a ticket is submitted and flagged as Urgent via a FORM! This is where most of our clients submit tickets to us.

And why does it sometimes use the Custom Task ID (preferred) and sometimes the ClickUp ID (def not preferred).

Tadej Jevševar it will be great to send a message to the task assignee via Slack instead of a hard-coded Slack user
Tadej Jevševar
Thanks, Omer Shilo. Nice one! Can you share an example how would this be useful for you?

Omer Shilo
Tadej Jevševar sure! i've created a form that everyone in my company can create a tickets for our BI group. Once the issue has been resolved, I would like to change the status to complete and the employee who opened the ticket to receive a direct message in slack that the task was completed
Tadej Jevševar
Awesome, Omer Shilo. I created a task for us to explore this option.

Jordan Scali
Tadej Jevševar Agreed! This would be extremely helpful for reminders of tasks or notifying people something has been approved, etc
The workflow that Omer outlined below would be great too, especially for things that people hand off to give visibility into completion.

Thanks everyone for the great discussion here around Slack notifications — we know more granular control is a top request, and we’re actively working on
Slack automations
feature that will give you more flexibility very soon.In the meantime, we recently rolled out something new that we’d love your thoughts on:
Slack Workspace Connected Search
Workspace admins can now connect your company Slack account to ClickUp so that everyone in your ClickUp Workspace can search public Slack conversations directly from ClickUp.
We’re curious to hear from you:
- Have you tried using Slack search inside ClickUp yet?
- What’s working well (or not so well) for your team?
- Are there moments where having Slack search in ClickUp has saved you time or reduced context-switching?
- If you haven’t tried it yet, what’s holding you back?
Your feedback will give us key insights and help us prioritize improvements. Feel free to share specific examples — we’d love to hear your stories!

Thanks a lot for sharing this, Elias Höfer. Your feedback is really helpful!
- Private channel/messages search: You’re right, personal Slack Connected Search is no longer supported due to Slack’s requirements. I’d love to understand — how big of an impact is the removal of private channels/messages search for you and your team?
- Current experience: Have you had a chance to use Slack Workspace Connected Search through the main Search bar or via askAI? If yes, what feels like the biggest blocker when trying to find the right Slack messages via Search bar?
Any additional context or examples you can share would help us improve the experience and make sure we’re solving the right problems for your team.

Tadej Jevševar a killer feature for us would be AI agents being able to post in Slack. If you don't build it I will use Zapier for that.
Tadej Jevševar
Thanks, Elias Höfer
On Slack Connected Search:
- Just to clarify, we had to remove private conversations from search because Slack required it (they made it clear they’d remove our app from their marketplace otherwise).
- Since you mentioned you’re already using Slack’s own AI Search, I’d love to understand: how important would it still be for you to have private conversations show up in ClickUp search? Would that meaningfully change whether you’d use Connected Search inside ClickUp, or does Slack AI already fully cover that need for your team?
On AI agents posting in Slack:
- Totally agree with you — that’s a killer feature. While I can’t share exact dates, we’re actively working on Slack automations (e.g. “When a task status changes, post a message in Slack”).
- We’re also exploring Slack tools for ClickUp AI Agents so they can post updates directly in Slack.
Could you share 1–2 examples of the kinds of Slack posts that would be most valuable for your team? That’ll help us make sure we’re building what matters most.

Tadej Jevševar actually I haven't tried it because I don't see a use case in it yet. Slack is just a keyboard shortcut away and it starts a search right away.

Slack custom notifications
Daniel Ben-Amotz
Hey there,
Currently Clickup only allows a pre-built notification to Slack. It would be super useful to have the ability to add a custom message to Slack, combining the Custom Fields and more from the task. For example,
A task has been moved to a certain status --> Custom Slack message: " Hey Daniel, TASKNAME has moved to status X. User ID (User ID custom field) has requested (Other custom fields). Please contact him via email: (custom field)".

Slack notification settings for Checklist Items and Status Filter

Currently the Slack notification has limited options.
Task Created
Status Changed
New Comment
New Attachment
Assignees Changed
In particular, it would be nice to see notifications for checklist creation.

Slack Notifications for Overdue items

Current slack notifications are only for Task created, Assignee changed, Status changed, New attachment, or New comment. It would be useful to get a notification in slack, like I do in my email, for overdue tasks.

Being able to send alarms, for example of tasks to be due, either to an individual person or to a slack group.
This would facilitate the reminders so that the information is updated on time or even to improve internal processes
