ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION
A single place to manage Automations. Browse existing, Create custom, Apply to single and multiple lists, folders and spaces from one place & manage usage.
I have 1 automation that I want to apply to roughly 20 lists, this is a real pain at the moment.

Description created by ClickUp after a survey
Users are requesting a centralized location to manage and view all automation throughout their workspace with a large focus on applying a single automation to numerous different locations.
They want to be able to view automations from different spaces, lists, and folders in one place, and to organize and group them based on their triggers or outputs.
Additionally, users want the ability to create, edit, duplicate, and remove automations from a single location, apply automations to multiple locations, and track the history and analytics of each automation.

Hey everyone,
Currently, we are focused on introducing other automation feature requests to enhance your workflows. However, we have not forgotten about this ask. We are currently in the midst of redesigning the automations experience and we'll be reaching out to y'all on this post as we get closer to refined designs. So, no engineering update here yet but it's on our mind.
We’ll share updates here as things progress.

Excellent!!!!

Please take into account that it would be great if this central management place in Click-up will support writing docs for the team to let them know how particular automations work. Now it has to be done manually. Let’s say a toggle to tick if particular automation info should be published, if yes a space to add description and the rest would be visible based on the actual setup. No one can mess around but can easily go through what automations are not private and you can view what they do.

Michał Mrzygłocki: we are building an auto-naming feature for automations right now that will take in context from the automation to provide a better title (if the user hasn't updated it themselves that is).
Would it be helpful if we did the same thing, but for the description? We could go into even more detail, provide use case examples and provide a "how this is used" portion as well.
Would that help as well?

Zach - ClickUp I guess the answer is yes as long as it will help in a way that you can focus on reworking the automation while Click-Up will adjust the description accordingly. It is also important where these details will be accessible for non admin users. Not everyone finds it easy to click the "storm icon". Right now I'm preparing a docs for each automation manually. Having an option to add own part of the desctiption is important too as ClickUp can desribe what is happening while a human needs to provide the context "why are we doing this".

Wanted to give this group an update on something that we're improving with the Automation Manager to make your lives easier. We still plan on eventually solving the main ask on this feature request, but I also saw some comments mentioning the need to have the ability to "search" and "sort" on the Manage page (especially when you have many automations!)
This will likely go live in your Workspace in ~2 weeks.
Thank you!

Bulk Edit Automations
Holly Cooper
It's not currently possible to update automations in bulk. Example: A custom field was deleted in our workspace and this field was present in almost 100 automations. Rather than having to go through and manually update each one (current state), it would be really nice to be able to update these all at once since it's the same field across all of these automations that are just duplicates of each other.

You're not alone on this. There's already an active request for bulk automation management that captures this need. Merging your post in so the votes combine 🙌

Apply Automations to All Lists in Workspace
Frederico Paula
Hi ClickUp Team,
I’d like to suggest a feature that would allow users to apply the same automation to all lists in a workspace at once, instead of having to set up the automation individually for each list. This would save a lot of time and ensure consistency across projects, especially for organizations managing many lists.
Ideally, this feature would let us select an automation and bulk-apply it to all existing lists, or even set it as a default for any new lists created in the workspace. It would be great if this could also work at the Folder or Space level, cascading down to all contained lists.
Thank you for considering this improvement!
Zach - ClickUp
This is already something we're working on! I'm going to merge your post into the main workspace automation management request since they're the same thing: https://feedback.clickup.com/admin/board/feature-requests/p/manage-automations-across-the-entire-workspace-from-a-single-place
Your votes will transfer over and you'll get updates there. The folder/space cascade you mentioned is exactly what that one covers!

Workspace-wide Automation List + Bulk Management View
Robinson
Hi ClickUp Team,
I’m reaching out with a feature request related to Automations management at the workspace level.
Right now, it’s difficult to audit and maintain automations because they’re spread across Spaces/Folders/Lists. We’d like to request either (or both) of the following:
1. Workspace-wide Automation List (Inventory)
• A single view/page that shows all automations created across the entire workspace
• Including key fields like: location (Space/Folder/List), status (on/off), trigger/action, owner/creator, last edited date, and any dependencies
2. Bulk / Mass Update Automation Management
• The ability to mass update automations in one view, such as:
• Enable/disable multiple automations
• Bulk edit values (assignee, statuses, custom fields, templates, dates, etc.)
• Search/filter/sort by location, creator, trigger type, action type, and active/inactive
This would massively improve governance, troubleshooting, and cleanup—especially for larger workspaces where automations grow quickly over time.
If there’s already an existing workaround, feature flag, or roadmap item for this, we’d appreciate any guidance or updates.
Thanks in advance,
Robinson Igot

Thanks for sharing this, Robinson! Merging this with the larger post we have.

The ability to group automations of have a folder for them by category would also be amazing!
