Connect WordPress and ClickUp

Content teams and agencies plan in ClickUp and publish on WordPress, and the hand-off between the two is usually a copy and paste. FlowMattic connects them: approved ClickUp tasks become WordPress drafts, and published posts, new users, comments and page edits become tasks. It suits editors, marketing teams and agencies who run client sites.

1. TriggerNew Post

2. ActionGet Task by Task ID

When WordPress fires New Post, FlowMattic runs Get Task by Task ID in ClickUp with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

WordPress and ClickUp workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Create a WordPress draft when a ClickUp task is approved

When a writing task moves to Approved, Get Task by Task ID reads the full task and New Post creates a draft with its title and text, ready for an editor to format and schedule.

Open a promotion task with a checklist for each published post

Publishing a post creates a task in your marketing list with a checklist for newsletter, social posts and internal links, so every article gets the same follow-through.

New PostCreate TaskCreate ChecklistCreate Checklist Item

Add an onboarding task for every new member or client

When someone registers, a task with their name, email and role is created for the person who welcomes new accounts, so no sign-up waits days for a first reply.

New UserCreate Task

Turn reader questions in comments into reply tasks

A Filter keeps comments that contain a question mark, and each one becomes a task linked to the post, so the author can answer readers as part of their normal work.

New CommentFilterCreate Task

Ask for a review when someone edits a key page

Update Page with a Filter on the page ID, for example pricing or terms, creates a review task naming who changed it, so important pages get a second look.

Give the client their portal role when the project goes live

Agencies keep the client's email on the project task. When it moves to Live, Get User by Email finds the client's account and Change User Role opens the support area of the site.

Set up: drafts from approved tasks

At the end, moving a writing task to your approved status creates a matching draft post on WordPress.

Connect ClickUp
In FlowMattic, open Connects and add your ClickUp workspace. WordPress needs no connection because FlowMattic runs on it.
Trigger on Task Status Updated
Create a workflow with ClickUp and Task Status Updated, then move a test task to Approved so FlowMattic captures the data.
Filter and fetch
Add a Filter for the Approved status, then Get Task by Task ID to read the task's full name and description.
Create the draft
Add WordPress with New Post, set the status to draft, map the task name to the title and the description to the content, test it and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

Task Status Updated fires for every status change, so always add a Filter for the status that should create the draft.
ClickUp's actions here cannot search tasks, so workflows that start in WordPress create new tasks rather than finding existing ones. Keep a link to the post in the task so people can find it.
Update Page fires each time a published page is saved, and editors often save several times. Expect more than one review task per editing session unless you add a Delay and check.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

WordPress and ClickUp connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Built into your WordPress site

FlowMattic reads posts, users and comments straight from WordPress, so there is no site connection to keep working and nothing polling your site from outside.

Every post and comment counts

Runs are unlimited, so a busy blog creating tasks for each comment and post costs nothing extra.

Both ways in one tool

ClickUp changes can create posts and change user roles, and WordPress events can create tasks, so the editorial loop runs in both directions.

Common questions

Can a ClickUp task publish a post directly?

Yes, New Post can create a published post, but most teams create a draft so an editor checks images, formatting and SEO fields before it goes live.

Does the task description keep its formatting in WordPress?

Simple text and line breaks come across. Rich formatting may need tidying in the editor, so check a test post before you rely on it.

Can I send posts from different categories to different ClickUp lists?

Yes. Put a Router after New Post with one path per category, and point each Create Task step at the list for that team.

Can the WordPress post link back to the ClickUp task?

Yes. Put the task URL in the post content or a custom field when you create the draft, and use Post Task Comment to add the draft link to the task.

Does this work with WooCommerce or other plugins?

The WordPress triggers here cover posts, pages, comments, users, roles and terms. Plugins such as WooCommerce have their own FlowMattic triggers that can create ClickUp tasks in the same way.
