ClickUp Automation & CRM Setup
TL;DR: ClickUp can be a powerful CRM — if you set it up that way. I build ClickUp workspaces that handle your entire client lifecycle: from lead capture through project delivery to invoicing. Plus n8n-powered automation that connects ClickUp to your CRM so the handoff from sales to operations is instant and error-free. No extra CRM subscription needed.
What I Build With ClickUp
Whether you want ClickUp as your CRM, your project delivery hub, or both — I build a system that manages clients from first contact to final delivery.
ClickUp as CRM & Operations Hub
CRM pipeline views with deal tracking, automated task creation from forms and webhooks, status-based triggers, client onboarding templates with task dependencies, custom dashboards for sales and delivery metrics. Multi-space workspace covering Sales, Delivery, and Support.
Sales-to-Delivery Automation with n8n
When your CRM closes a deal, your delivery team should already be set up to execute. I connect ClickUp and your CRM through n8n — auto-created projects from deal closures, dynamic task templates based on deal type, two-way status syncing, and automated client onboarding checklists.
Team Notifications & Reporting
Slack and email notifications triggered by workflow events. Custom dashboards for delivery tracking, capacity planning, and utilization. Time tracking automation that feeds into your billing system.
Integration with Your Full Stack
Connect ClickUp to HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive, Slack, Google Suite, calendars, payment tools, and any platform with an API or webhook. Data flows between systems automatically.
