I have to create a dropdown custom field solely to use it as a condition—assigning an option to each task I want to automate. It's extremely frustrating! Why not apply the same logic used in the "Filter by Task Name"/"Search in Task Name" feature to automations as well?

Zach Lily Chan Can some attention please be directed to this request? There are numerous similar feature requests (listed below) which put the broader request for Task Name as an automation condition/trigger/action to well over 1k votes. The fact many haven't been merged and none of them are in planning gives the impression this feature isn't on the radar.

It is such a core application of automation that its absence is pretty glaring. The inability to automate using task names (the most basic part of a task) is a major roadblock to so many efficiencies and means significantly more manual entry/configuration, with the accompanying time demand and room for error.

(I've spoken to at least two support persons that even admitted they assumed it existed, and were surprised that it didn't. It's also implied in support that this can be achieved through Zapier, when it actually cannot.)

What's this? A several-year-old, highly voted request for basic functionality that should have been included at feature launch, which hasn't even been so much as acknowledged by the ClickUp team?

ClickUp needs to onboard some sort of project management system to help keep these organized.

Guys, we're waiting 5 years for this. Is ClickUp really that bad in managing product development?

Do we need to have a certain number of comments to get this moved to the planned section?

Based on text in the name, description or the email address that was used to email a task to a list.

YES, WHERE IS THIS FEATURE!? This request is almost 5 years old.

It is 2025 ClickUp!! Where is this basic feature?

I'm not sure why this basic feature isn't already available!? Seems so simple and common sense to be able to have a word based filter as a trigger.

I am looking to sort tasks that clickup creates from incoming email action items to be able to move the tasks into the appropriate List (which I have set per project). Depending on what the email created task is also depends who it is assigned to. Instead I have to manually drag the tasks to the respective lists, and manually assign them to the responsible person...

Just asking for a simple filter option for Task Name -

if task name = 'X'

if task name contains 'Y' (with option for case sensitive or non-case sensitive)

Agreed, this would allow me to make 95% of the automations I am thinking of to help me increase work flow.
