ClickUp and OpenAI integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for ClickUp and OpenAI and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Productivity, Communication, AI, and Langchain workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect ClickUp and OpenAI

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure ClickUp and OpenAI nodes

You can find ClickUp and OpenAI in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure ClickUp and OpenAI nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect ClickUp and OpenAI

A connection establishes a link between ClickUp and OpenAI (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your ClickUp and OpenAI integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect ClickUp and OpenAI with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

AI proposal generator

Overview
Stop spending hours formatting proposals. This workflow turns a short post-call form into a high-converting, fully-personalized PandaDoc proposal—plus updates your CRM and drafts the follow-up email for you.

After a sales call, just fill out a 3-minute form summarizing key pain points, solutions pitched, and the price. The workflow uses AI to generate polished proposal copy, then builds a PandaDoc draft using dynamic data mapped into the JSON body (which you can fully customize per business). It also updates the lead record in ClickUp with the proposal link, company name, and quote—then creates an email draft in Gmail, ready to send.

Who’s it for
Freelancers and consultants sending service proposals
Agencies closing deals over sales calls
Sales reps who want to automate proposal follow-up
Teams using ClickUp as their lightweight CRM

How it works
After a call, fill out a short form with client details, pitch notes, and price
AI generates professional proposal copy based on form input
Proposal is formatted and sent to PandaDoc via HTTP request
ClickUp lead is updated with:
Company Name
Proposal URL
Quote/price
A Gmail draft is created using the proposal link and a thank-you message

Example use case
> You hop off a call, fill out:
> - Prospect: Shopify agency
> - Pain: No lead gen system
> - Solution: Automated cold outreach
> - Price: $2,500/month
>
> 3 minutes later: PandaDoc proposal is ready, CRM is updated, and your email draft is waiting to be sent.

How to set up
Replace the form with your preferred tool (e.g. Tally, Typeform)
Connect PandaDoc API and structure your proposal template
Customize the JSON body inside the HTTP request to match your business
Link your ClickUp space and custom fields
Connect Gmail (or other email tool) for final follow-up draft

Requirements
Form tool for capturing sales call notes
OpenAI or LLM key for generating proposal copy
PandaDoc API access
ClickUp custom fields set up for lead tracking
Gmail integration

How to customize
Customize your PandaDoc proposal fields in the JSON body of the HTTP node

Route Discord support messages into ClickUp tasks with OpenAI GPT-4.1-mini

How it works This workflow monitors a Discord channel on a schedule and processes recent messages automatically. Each message is checked against a data table to prevent duplicate processing. New messages are analyzed using an AI model to extract structured task details like assignee, priority, and deadlines. The workflow then formats this data and creates a corresponding ClickUp task with full context. Step-by-step Trigger and fetch messages** Schedule Trigger – Runs the workflow every minute. Get many messages – Retrieves the latest Discord messages from a selected channel. Process messages in batches** Loop Over Items – Iterates through each message one at a time for controlled execution. Check for duplicates** Get row(s) – Searches the data table for existing message IDs. If – Filters out messages that have already been processed. Store new messages** Insert row – Saves new message details (ID, author, content) to the data table. Generate task metadata with AI** Message a model – Uses OpenAI to extract structured task data like assignee, priority, estimate, and deadlines. Format task data** Format Task – Converts AI output into ClickUp-compatible fields and formats. Create ClickUp task** Create ClickUp Task – Creates a new task with assignees, dates, priority, and message context. Why use this? Eliminates manual ticket creation from Discord support messages Ensures no duplicate tasks with built-in tracking logic Automatically assigns tasks based on AI-driven classification Improves response time and team accountability Scales support operations without additional overhead

Track employee performance KPIs from ClickUp with GPT-4.1 and Google Sheets

The final performance data is stored in Google Sheets as a live KPI dashboard. Step-by-step Step 1: Collect ClickUp task data** Schedule Trigger – Starts the workflow automatically at defined intervals. Get many folders – Fetches all folders from the selected ClickUp space. Loop Over Items – Iterates through folders to process tasks sequentially. Get many tasks – Retrieves tasks associated with each folder or list. Step 2: Analyze tasks and compute KPIs** Message a model – Sends task details to an AI model to generate summaries and raw performance metrics. Code in JavaScript – Parses AI output, recalculates KPI scores, and assigns standardized ratings. Step 3: Update employee KPI dashboard** Append or update row in sheet – Writes or updates task and employee performance data in Google Sheets. Why use this? Automates employee performance tracking without manual reporting. Produces consistent KPI scores across all ClickUp tasks. Helps managers quickly identify overdue or high-priority work. Keeps Google Sheets dashboards continuously up to date. Improves visibility into productivity and task execution trends.

Analyze Form Feedback with GPT-4 & Sync Tasks to Monday, ClickUp & HubSpot

How it works This workflow automates customer feedback management by capturing reviews through a form, analyzing them with AI for sentiment and insights, and then creating structured tasks across Monday.com, ClickUp, and HubSpot. It ensures that customer concerns are categorized, prioritized, and assigned to the right teams with actionable metadata. Step-by-step Trigger & Input The workflow starts when a customer submits the Feedback Form containing their Name, Message, Rating, and Product/Service. The submitted data is pre-processed with a Code node to cleanly extract fields for analysis. AI Analysis & Processing The extracted review is sent to OpenAI GPT-4 for analysis. AI identifies sentiment, sentiment score, category (e.g., product, service, support, delivery, pricing), department, priority, required actions, keywords, and suggested response tone. A Data Processing node enriches the output with due dates, task titles, structured descriptions, and fallback handling in case of parsing issues. Structured Output Generation An AI Agent and OpenAI Chat model transform the enriched data into a strict JSON format that is compatible with Monday.com, ClickUp, and HubSpot. This ensures consistent field order, formatting, and metadata for all downstream integrations. Task Creation in Platforms The structured task data is automatically pushed to: Monday.com → Creates an item in a specified board. ClickUp → Creates a task with mapped fields and priority. HubSpot → Creates an engagement task in CRM with due date and priority. Benefits Automates end-to-end customer feedback analysis and task creation. Ensures structured, AI-driven insights for actionable responses. Reduces manual work in categorizing and assigning reviews. Keeps customer feedback synchronized across multiple platforms (Monday.com, ClickUp, HubSpot). Improves response time by prioritizing high-impact feedback with due dates.
