How do I create a ClickUp task from a workflow?

Short answer: You can create task in ClickUp by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the ClickUp Create Task action to a workflow, map its 8 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
