ClickUp is a cloud-based productivity platform offering task management, time tracking, and collaboration capabilities. DocsAutomator integrates natively with ClickUp to enable seamless document creation from tasks.
New to DocsAutomator? The fastest way to get started with ClickUp is our Quickstart Guide.

Important Limitations

PDF Attachments: Generated PDFs are added to the task — either as task attachments (default) or into a Files custom field you pick in the “Save PDF to ClickUp task” action. New PDFs are always added; there is no option to overwrite previous attachments (a ClickUp limitation).Workspace Restriction: Only one team/workspace is allowed currently. If multiple workspaces are selected when connecting ClickUp, only the first one is available for data mapping.

Native Fields Reference

Custom Fields Reference

Line Items

ClickUp automations support line items. Each {{line_items_N}} group pulls its rows from one of two sources, configured in the Data panel:
  • Subtasks: the task’s subtasks. Item rows can use all standard task fields plus the list’s custom fields (subtasks share them).
  • Relationship field: a Relationship custom field pointing at a dedicated items list (for example an Invoices list related to a Line Items list). Item rows map against the linked list’s custom fields and the standard task fields.
A Relationship field must point at a specific list — ClickUp does not allow a list to relate to itself, and generic “Tasks” fields (no fixed list) cannot be used for line items. Nested line-item levels are not available for ClickUp.

Partially Supported and Unsupported Fields

  • Relationship: usable as a line-items source (see above). As a regular placeholder it renders the linked task names, comma-separated.
  • Rollup and Tasks fields are not currently supported.

E-Signatures and PDF Templates

DocsAutomator supports e-signatures with all data sources, including ClickUp. After generating a document, you can automatically route it for signing; the signed PDF can be saved back to the task’s attachments or to a Files custom field. DocsAutomator also supports PDF templates in addition to Google Doc templates.
