1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for ClickUp and Discord Integration

To start automating your Discord notifications for new tasks in ClickUp, first access Pabbly Connect. Create a free account if you haven’t already. Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘ClickUp to Discord Notifications’ and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

In the workflow dashboard, you will see two windows: the trigger and action windows. For the trigger, select ClickUp and choose the ‘New Task’ event. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture details every time a new task is created in ClickUp.

2. Connecting ClickUp to Pabbly Connect

After selecting ClickUp, you will need to connect your ClickUp account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to enter your ClickUp API token. To obtain this token, log into ClickUp, navigate to your profile settings, and find the API section to generate your token.

• Log into your ClickUp account.
• Navigate to your profile settings.
• Generate your API token.

Once you have the API token, paste it into Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save’. Your ClickUp account will now be connected, allowing Pabbly Connect to monitor your tasks.

3. Setting Up Discord to Receive Notifications

Next, you need to connect Discord to Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select Discord and choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event. This setup will enable Pabbly Connect to send messages to your specified Discord channel whenever a new task is created.

To connect Discord, you will need to create a webhook URL. Go to your Discord server, click on the down arrow next to your server name, and select ‘Server Settings’. Then navigate to ‘Integrations’ and create a new webhook. Copy the webhook URL and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

• Create a new webhook in Discord.
• Copy the webhook URL.
• Paste the URL into Pabbly Connect.

After pasting the webhook URL, you can draft a message that will be sent to Discord. Include placeholders for task details that will be dynamically populated from ClickUp.

4. Testing the Integration

With both applications connected, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to ClickUp and create a new task. For example, name it ‘Test Task’ and fill in any necessary details. Once the task is created, Pabbly Connect will automatically capture this new task.

Return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will fetch the details of the newly created task. Ensure that the task details appear correctly in the response. If successful, you should see the message sent to your Discord channel shortly after.

Create a new task in ClickUp. Check the response in Pabbly Connect. Verify the message appears in Discord.

Now you have successfully set up an automated workflow that sends Discord notifications for new tasks created in ClickUp using Pabbly Connect.
