Add Placeholders / Fields to TO / CC / BCC Field in E-Mail Automations
Julian Pustkuchen
Since "See Sender Addresses for Tasks & Comments Created via Email" has been finished yesterday (HOOORAAAY!!! :D), the only thing stopping us from creating a very flexible Ticket System with Clickup is the missing option to use Placeholders on ClickUp E-Mail Automations recipients. Currently only static text is possible (but sadly not helpful for that).
Please try to create an automatic reply to received E-Mails with Automations like "Thank you for your Ticket, we're working on it". I think it's not possible due to this missing variables! :(
It would work as the placeholders available for the Text would be available as TO / CC / BCC recipients. Currently, only hard coded text is possible.
To improve this in General, I think for E-Mail TO / CC / BCC Automation fields you'd need to be able to select multiple of the following (as multi recipients):
- Creator E-Mail (as may be from an outside Mail Address)
- Watchers
- Assignees
- Custom E-Mail Field
- ...?
Same should also be available in the texts. And please ensure it works for incoming emails from outside.
Would be cool to have this simple but important improvement soon to be able to finish the ClickUp Ticket System :)
Thanks a lot!

Include assignee email as an option in email automations

It seems that the only email options for to: cc: and bcc: when creating automations are those from custom fields. Please add "assignee email" as an option.

E-mail automation
Waddah Rady
When I set up an Email automation due to status changes it has to be more Felixable .
1- TO: CC: BCC: all of these has to be taken or extracted from the task itself ( from the task custom fileds ) so it will regularly send an specific things to his email that I added in the task already
2- We want to attach document to the Email automations . for example here's your invoice and writing @ so the document appear in the email content easily instead of tagging task and make it public sharing
Without these 2 features I'm really sorry to tell that tool is useless.
Best regards,
Paul Hepp
yes, please add the ability to add a custom email field, and cc that person on a form request

Ability to use email address from 'People' custom fields
Austin Pearce
In trying to create an email automation to notify the 'People' custom field called 'Reviewer' on tasks when the task changes its status to "Needs Code Review", it would be great if you could pull the email address from the Clickup user assigned to the 'People' custom field. Currently, it seems you can only pull an email from a task if there is a 'Email' custom field. Another idea would to be able to pull an email from a 'Dropdown' custom field so you could have predefined email addresses. Thanks!

Send automated emails to Creator

When we're creating automated emails, it'd be great to be able to add the Creator Email in the 'To' field without having to set it up as a custom field. ClickUp has the information available for the Subject field so hopefully it's an easy fix to add it to the recipients as well.

Yes! Sending to the creator email is exactly what we're tracking under dynamic TO/CC/BCC fields. Merging to consolidate votes — thanks for posting this!

On email automation, please add the feature of adding dynamic fields for 'To" (Recipients) therefore we can add the relevant task assignees or people's email id as default for any triggers.

Dynamic recipients in email automations, great request. Merging into the main thread tracking dynamic TO/CC/BCC field support. Appreciate you sharing this!

I follow the previous comments and chime in that this is an essential feature needed for Clickup to take over the role of other traditional ticketing systems

Ability to pull email adress from 'People' custom field
Austin Pearce
In creating an email automation, I learned you can only use an 'Email' custom field when pulling an email address from a task. It would be great if you could pull the email address from a Clickup user from a 'People' custom field.
With our set up, we have a 'People' custom field called "Reviewer". I was gonna have an email automation send out whenever the task changed its status to "Needs Code Review".
