Building automations in ClickUp
An automation is a rule that moves a task forward on its own, so a status change or a new assignee does not wait on someone remembering to act. Without one, tasks stall after a handoff and new work arrives with nobody assigned.
This walkthrough opens the automations builder on a ClickUp list and creates two rules. The first assigns a user the moment a task moves to In Progress. The second reverses it, moving a task to In Progress as soon as an assignee is added.
It closes on rollout: test a new automation on a few tasks before enabling it team wide, and keep automation to repetitive steps so the rules stay manageable.
My Tasks in ClickUp Home pulls every task assigned to you across the workspace into one place. What its three views, Assigned to me, Today & Overdue and Personal List, are for, and the order to check them in.

A customer who emails twice becomes two tickets, two agents and two different answers. How to merge the duplicate in Zendesk, what the merge does to each ticket, and the limit to know before you confirm.
