ClickUp is undeniably a productivity powerhouse, packed with features to streamline your work. Sometimes, you need a little custom tailoring for your business. ClickUp has fantastic internal automations, but did you know you can take that a step further? You may have complex workflows or a need to dynamically change different areas of your ClickUp Workspace. This is where Make.com swoops in, adding a whole new dimension to your ClickUp experience!
Make.com can be a powerful sidekick to ClickUp, enabling you to build dynamic, no-code (or low-code) automations that take your ClickUp workflows to the next level. Using ClickUps API through a platform like Make.com, you can enhance your workflows and create a symphony of productivity that’ll leave you wondering how you ever managed without it.
Why ClickUp and Make.com are a Match Made in Productivity Heaven
Make.com unlocks a whole new level of automation possibilities for ClickUp users. Here’s why they’re the ultimate dynamic duo:
- Unleash the Power of the ClickUp API: Make.com seamlessly integrates with the ClickUp API, giving you access to a treasure trove of data and actions. This means you can manipulate ClickUp data in ways you never thought possible!
- No-Code Nirvana: Even if you’re not a coding whiz, you can build complex automations with Make.com‘s intuitive drag-and-drop interface. It’s like building with digital LEGO bricks!
- Boost Productivity: Automate those tedious, repetitive tasks and free up your time for more strategic work. Imagine the possibilities when you’re not bogged down by manual busywork.
- Supercharge Cross-Team Collaboration: Connect different ClickUp spaces and lists to streamline workflows and keep everyone in sync. No more silos, just seamless collaboration!
Scenario 1: Dynamic List Creation from a Template
Imagine this: you’re onboarding a new client, and you need to spin up a whole new set of lists in ClickUp, each pre-populated with tasks from a template. Doing this manually can be a real drag, especially if you’re dealing with multiple clients or complex projects.
While ClickUp’s built-in automations are fantastic for many tasks, they don’t currently offer the ability to generate lists from templates dynamically. This is where Make.com steps in to bridge the gap! By harnessing the power of Make.com, you can automate this entire process, saving you precious time and ensuring consistency across your projects.
Scenario 2: Cross-Team Task Assignment and Management
Let’s say you have a marketing team, a sales team, and a support team, all collaborating on a single project within ClickUp. Each team has its own space and workflows, but tasks often need to be passed between teams, and information needs to be kept synchronized.
ClickUp’s internal automations excel at automating tasks within a single list or space. However, when it comes to coordinating actions across multiple teams and spaces, you might encounter limitations.
Make.com provides the missing link! With Make.com, you can seamlessly connect those different spaces and automate tasks like:
- Automatically assigning tasks to the right team members based on specific criteria. No more manual shuffling!
- Keeping custom fields updated across related tasks in different spaces. Ensure data consistency across your workflows.
- Moving tasks between lists or spaces as the project progresses. Keep projects flowing smoothly between teams.

Scenario 3: Dynamic List Color Coding for Project Status and Risk
In ClickUp, list colors are a great way to get a quick visual overview of your projects. But manually updating those colors every time a task’s status changes can be tedious and prone to oversight. Wouldn’t it be amazing if those colors could update automatically based on real-time project data?
Make.com makes this a reality! By integrating Make.com with your ClickUp lists, you can set up dynamic color coding based on:
- The status of tasks and subtasks within a list. Get a visual snapshot of progress!
- The number of overdue tasks. Instantly see which projects need attention.
- Even entries in a risk log, giving you an instant visual alert if a project is at risk. Proactive risk management at its finest!
This not only saves you time but also provides a clear and accurate picture of your project’s health at a glance.
