I was testing out a new camera this week and thought it was the perfect chance to share a little automation for agency and business owners who live in ClickUp. You need a space for your team to collaborate, revise, and handle all the internal back-and-forth. But you want your client's view to be clean, simple, and professional. They don't need them seeing your internal notes of, "ergh why are they asking for another revision!?" This quick automation creates a perfect separation between your internal workspace and your client-facing tasks. Here's how to did it 👇 The StructureInside your client's folder, you need just two key Lists: Internal Team Hub: This is where you cook up all your awesome ideas and content for the client. The client has no access here. Client Approvals: A clean, curated space where clients review and approve final deliverables. The AutomationLet's use a new social media post as an example. Your team has drafted the copy, created the graphic, and checked it all off in the Internal Team Hub task. Now, instead of manually creating a new task for the client, you simply change the status to Ready for Review. The moment you click that status, a ClickUp automation triggers:
The ResultYour client now sees a single, clean task pop up in their list. They can leave their feedback directly on that task. It's a small change that makes your agency look incredibly organised and professional. Love this idea but don't have the time to build it yourself? Book a free consultation call, and let's get your workspace automated: https://cal.com/theproductivedad/discovery-chat​ Want to see exactly how I set this up?

The Productive Dad Hi Reader 👋 Hope you're having an amazing Thursday! If you’ve ever tried to get your team to use time tracking in ClickUp, you know it’s a pain in the butt. People forget to start the timer, leave it running for hours, or just skip it altogether. And when you’re working with clients, you need a quick way to see how long things actually take, without chasing your team for timesheets. That’s why I put together this quick video to show a simple ClickUp dashboard that lets you...
The Productive Dad Read this post online here. Hi Reader 👋 Hope you're having an amazing Thursday! Data entry is one of those jobs that drains your energy fast. It’s the kind of work that makes you question your life choices. When did you become a cog in the knowledge-worker machine? But if you’re running a business, or even just trying to keep your team organised, you can’t skip it. You need those categories for reporting, for insights, for making better decisions. So you grit your teeth and...
ClickUp is for creativity. Don’t agree? Today, I’ve loaded up a new project in ClickUp to organise my music composition process for the first time. This is a bit of an experiment for me. I’ve always used ClickUp for consulting, client work, and the usual project management stuff, but never for something as creative as writing music. I used to write a lot of music before my daughter was born. You can check out the full playlist here. I’m genuinely excited to see how a project management...
