1.1 Workflow description

Title
Sync Notion database pages as ClickUp tasks
Workflow name
Sync Notion database pages as ClickUp tasks

This workflow creates/updates ClickUp tasks when Notion database pages are created/updated. All fields in the Notion database are mapped to a ClickUp property.

Notion database will require setup before the workflow can be used. See the list of fields available in the setup below.

Prerequisites

How it works

  1. When a new database page is created in Notion, the workflow creates a new task in ClickUp with all required fields.
  2. The new ClickUp task's ID is saved in the Notion database page's "ClickUp ID" field.
  3. Then, when the database page is updated in Notion, the workflow updates the specific ClickUp task identified by the "ClickUp ID" field in Notion.

Setup

This workflow requires that you set up a Notion database. To do so, follow the steps below:

  1. In Notion, create a new database.
  2. Add the following columns to the database:
    • Task name (renamed from "Name")
    • Status (with type "Select" with the following options: "to do", "in progress", "review", "revision", "complete")
    • Deadline (with type "Date")
    • ClickUp ID (with type "Text")
    • Add any other fields you require.
  3. Share the database to n8n.
  4. By default, the workflow will fill all the fields provided above, except for any other additional fields you add.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/1835/1835.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
