More Granular Slack Notification Options
in progress
C
Christina Carey
I would like to have more control over Slack notifications. Such as only getting notices when a task is marked as complete, not every time the status is changed.
It would also be nice to get a private notification in Slack when a task assigned to me has an upcoming due date.
A bot in Slack would be helpful as well. Where I could ask what do I have coming up or to tell me the status of a task.

Thanks everyone for the great discussion here around Slack notifications — we know more granular control is a top request, and we’re actively working on
Slack automations
feature that will give you more flexibility very soon.In the meantime, we recently rolled out something new that we’d love your thoughts on:
Slack Workspace Connected Search
Workspace admins can now connect your company Slack account to ClickUp so that everyone in your ClickUp Workspace can search public Slack conversations directly from ClickUp.
We’re curious to hear from you:
- Have you tried using Slack search inside ClickUp yet?
- What’s working well (or not so well) for your team?
- Are there moments where having Slack search in ClickUp has saved you time or reduced context-switching?
- If you haven’t tried it yet, what’s holding you back?
Your feedback will give us key insights and help us prioritize improvements. Feel free to share specific examples — we’d love to hear your stories!

Thanks a lot for sharing this, Elias Höfer. Your feedback is really helpful!
- Private channel/messages search: You’re right, personal Slack Connected Search is no longer supported due to Slack’s requirements. I’d love to understand — how big of an impact is the removal of private channels/messages search for you and your team?
- Current experience: Have you had a chance to use Slack Workspace Connected Search through the main Search bar or via askAI? If yes, what feels like the biggest blocker when trying to find the right Slack messages via Search bar?
Any additional context or examples you can share would help us improve the experience and make sure we’re solving the right problems for your team.

Tadej Jevševar a killer feature for us would be AI agents being able to post in Slack. If you don't build it I will use Zapier for that.
Tadej Jevševar
Thanks, Elias Höfer
On Slack Connected Search:
- Just to clarify, we had to remove private conversations from search because Slack required it (they made it clear they’d remove our app from their marketplace otherwise).
- Since you mentioned you’re already using Slack’s own AI Search, I’d love to understand: how important would it still be for you to have private conversations show up in ClickUp search? Would that meaningfully change whether you’d use Connected Search inside ClickUp, or does Slack AI already fully cover that need for your team?
On AI agents posting in Slack:
- Totally agree with you — that’s a killer feature. While I can’t share exact dates, we’re actively working on Slack automations (e.g. “When a task status changes, post a message in Slack”).
- We’re also exploring Slack tools for ClickUp AI Agents so they can post updates directly in Slack.
Could you share 1–2 examples of the kinds of Slack posts that would be most valuable for your team? That’ll help us make sure we’re building what matters most.

Tadej Jevševar actually I haven't tried it because I don't see a use case in it yet. Slack is just a keyboard shortcut away and it starts a search right away.

Slack custom notifications
Daniel Ben-Amotz
Hey there,
Currently Clickup only allows a pre-built notification to Slack. It would be super useful to have the ability to add a custom message to Slack, combining the Custom Fields and more from the task. For example,
A task has been moved to a certain status --> Custom Slack message: " Hey Daniel, TASKNAME has moved to status X. User ID (User ID custom field) has requested (Other custom fields). Please contact him via email: (custom field)".

Slack notification settings for Checklist Items and Status Filter
George
Currently the Slack notification has limited options.
Task Created
Status Changed
New Comment
New Attachment
Assignees Changed
In particular, it would be nice to see notifications for checklist creation.

Slack Notifications for Overdue items

Current slack notifications are only for Task created, Assignee changed, Status changed, New attachment, or New comment. It would be useful to get a notification in slack, like I do in my email, for overdue tasks.

Be able to pull up tasks that you have due inside of Slack.

Slack integration should also include notifications for due dates.

Being able to send alarms, for example of tasks to be due, either to an individual person or to a slack group.
This would facilitate the reminders so that the information is updated on time or even to improve internal processes

Slack Notifications with Automations
Joren Rapini
I've always wanted to define rules in order to get additional notifications - for example, send me a Slack DM (or post to a channel) if a task with a high/urgent status is changed/commented on, something like that. It seems like Automations have the flexibility to do just this if Slack were integrated.
J
Jessica Amor
I'd like to see a Slack integration command that can quickly list tasks with upcoming due dates within date range or specifying X days. Additionally, automating these alerts to go to specific Slack channels every day or week would be extremely helpful.
Tadej Jevševar
Thanks for your feedback. Could you please elaborate on the specific problem we should address with “Slack alarms”?
Are you looking to be reminded in Slack about the due dates of tasks (for instance, when the due date arrives, send a Slack message to the #general channel)?
Tilek Nurdin uulu
Tadej Jevševar providing flexibility on alarms that could be sent in Slack, would really improve on the fast response rate to the changes
Sarah Schumacher
Tadej Jevševar I think what we're all getting at is that one of the worst things about ClickUp is the noise. I've adjusted settings to make it better, but there are so many notifications about Clickbot said this, etc., that it trains people to ignore them. Then they end up missing the real notices about due dates or real tasks.
We assign tasks in ClickUp, set due dates, comment, but then we also go to Slack and say hey <assignee> please see that we assigned X task to you. It doesn't feel like we should have to do this.
Amber Stief
Tadej Jevševar For us, Slack alarms notifying team members of upcoming due dates would be awesome. I agree with Sarah, there are so many unnecessary CU notifications, especially from ClickBot, that we can't seem to turn off and it makes it really easy to miss the notifications that we actually need/want to see.
