Besides, turn your project management tool into an eyesore, inconsistent-looking tasks can also hurt your productivity. Ever missed adding an attachment or a due date to a task? Remember how that disrupted your workflow? For ClickUp users, we’ve created a handy template that helps you make sure you’re creating clear, complete tasks in a snap—all on Zapier. All you have to do is submit a form (which you can customize to your liking), and a task will automatically get added to ClickUp. It's really that easy to get back to a tidier task feed. And, get rid of bottlenecks and errors.
Zapier products the template uses
- Interfaces — an automated form, page, and app builder for collecting data
- Tables — databases that let you track and automate your data
- Zaps — automated workflows
- Canvas — a diagramming tool that helps you visualize your workflows
How this form template works
This template seamlessly connects a custom form built with Zapier Interfaces to your ClickUp workspace, automating the task creation process. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
- Open the custom form created with Interfaces and type in whatever task details you need. Beyond the name, description, and due date, you can also add helpful fields like tags, priority, and a time estimate.
- Submit the form to kick off the Zap, which processes the form submission and creates a shiny new task in ClickUp.
- The task information is stored in Tables, so you can reference tasks in the future if that's important to you.
- In Canvas, you can visualize your whole task-creating workflow at a glance and modify steps as needed.
This streamlined process churns out comprehensive, well-organized ClickUp tasks for you, setting the stage for strong project management and team collaboration.

- Customize the form fields to match your specific task requirements.
