Automate daily ClickUp status emails for stakeholders

They used Make to compile unfinished ClickUp tasks into daily email updates for stakeholders who do not use ClickUp.

What they did
They built their ClickUp setup around a main action list, plus separate lists for projects and contacts. Each task carried the relevant stakeholder email, and picking a project could bring in the right contact automatically. In Make, they arranged a 6 AM workflow that finds open tasks, steps through them one by one, groups them under the right project, and then sends one digest to the email field for that project. They checked the generated subject lines and message layout manually before turning it on.
How it went
The first build broke when the email content was filled with whole ClickUp objects, which made the message show JSON instead of readable task details. People in the discussion said the remedy was to map the individual fields and sort items by project name. There was no final success report or performance data.
Tips
Use a staging step before live delivery so you can inspect the recipient, subject, and message text first. Keep the workflow focused on the fields you actually want in the email.

Try it yourself with Make

Set up a Make workflow for my ClickUp [space/list] that checks for [incomplete/overdue/blocked] tasks at [time] each day. Sort the items into groups using [project field], turn each group into a clear email update, and send it to the stakeholder address tied to that project. Before any stakeholder email goes out, generate a test version for me and stop for approval before sending to others.
