1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Slack and ClickUp Integration

To begin the integration process, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by typing the URL Pabbly.com/connect in your browser. Once on the landing page, click on the ‘Sign In’ button. If you’re a new user, the sign-up process is quick and straightforward, taking no more than two minutes.

After signing in, you’ll be directed to the ‘All Applications’ page. Click on ‘Access Now’ for Pabbly Connect. This action takes you to the dashboard, where you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will appear asking you to name your workflow. For this integration, name it something like ‘Send Slack Message and Tag User’ and click on ‘Create’.

2. Setting Up the Trigger Event in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up the trigger event for your workflow. The trigger application will be ClickUp, where you want to create a new task. In Pabbly Connect, select ClickUp as your trigger application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Task’. This means that every time a new task is created in ClickUp, the workflow will be triggered.

• Select ‘New Task’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your ClickUp account.
• Provide the API token from ClickUp to set up the connection.

Once the connection is established, you will be prompted to enter your workspace name, space name, folder name, and list name. Make sure to select the correct options from your ClickUp account to ensure that the integration works as intended.

3. Searching for the User in Slack via Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to search for the user in Slack. In Pabbly Connect, select Slack as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Search User by Email’. This action will allow you to find the user that has been assigned the task in ClickUp.

Click on ‘Connect’ and establish a connection with your Slack account. Once connected, map the email address of the assignee from the ClickUp trigger data into the email field in Slack. This mapping ensures that the workflow retrieves the correct user information every time it runs.

• Select ‘Search User by Email’ as the action event.
• Map the email address of the assignee from ClickUp.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to retrieve user details.

Once you have successfully retrieved the user details, you can proceed to send a message in the next step. This integration allows you to tag the user directly in the Slack message, enhancing communication efficiency.

4. Sending a Slack Message and Tagging the User

The final step in this integration process is to send a message in Slack and tag the user. Again, select Slack as your action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message’. Click on ‘Connect’ and use the existing connection you established earlier.

In the setup fields, select the channel where you want to send the message. For instance, you might choose a channel named ‘Slack ClickUp Messages’. In the message field, you can compose your message, including tagging the user by their username. Use the format @username to ensure they get notified about the new task.

Select the appropriate Slack channel. Compose your message including task details and tag the user. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the message.

After sending the message, check your Slack channel to confirm that the user has been tagged successfully. This integration ensures that your team stays updated on task assignments, improving collaboration and productivity.
