Creating a ClickUp Task via Email
ClickUp allows users to create new tasks directly from an email. Each list within your ClickUp workspace has a unique email address that you can use to send task details.
Steps to Create a Task:
1. Locate List's Email Address:
- Navigate to the desired list in the sidebar.
- Hover over the list name and click on the ellipsis (`...`).
- Select "Email to List" from the dropdown menu.
- Copy the displayed email address.
2. Setting Task Fields:
- Use specific text in your subject line for additional configurations:
- `assign me`: Assigns the task to yourself.
- `due today`: Sets today's date as due date (natural language dates like `tomorrow`, `next Friday` are also accepted).
- `tag <tagname>`: Adds specified tags to your task.
Use the API Output Node to Create Your Task
- Output Display Area: A large text area bordered by dashed lines, indicating where the output from your flow will be displayed. Before any data appears, this area contains placeholder text stating, "Your output will be displayed here," guiding users on what to expect once their flow call has been executed.
Send to Email Section
This section offers functionality allows users to directly send their flow results via email to create a task. Key components include:
- Expand/Collapse Mechanism: Next to the section title "Send to Email," there's a downwards arrow icon. Clicking on this icon toggles between expanding and collapsing this section, revealing or hiding additional options related to email functionality.
Email Address Field
Within the Send to Email Section, users can specify one or more recipient email addresses in this field. This is where you would insert your email that will create your task.
Subject Field
Below the Email Address Field is another input field labeled "Subject." This allows users to define a subject line for their emails, which can either be connected to dynamic content sources or manually entered for each message sent.
