How this automation works

Easily create new ClickUp tasks hands‑free using your iPhone. This Applet runs whenever one of your iOS Shortcut automations starts and automatically creates a new task in your selected ClickUp list. It's great for quickly capturing ideas, reminders, or tasks via Siri or custom automations without opening the ClickUp app.
