What it does

Closes the loop on stalled work. For every overdue, untouched ClickUp task it sends the assignee a direct Slack message offering three choices — keep, reschedule, or drop — and writes their answer straight back to ClickUp. Tasks that get no response within the window are automatically downgraded in priority so they stop cluttering the active view.

When to use it

Use it when due dates are routinely blown and tasks just sit there because no one revisits them. It turns silent neglect into an explicit decision and keeps the active backlog focused on work people actually intend to do.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule starts the nudge run.
  2. 2The agent queries ClickUp for tasks past due with no recent activity.
  3. 3It DMs each assignee on Slack with keep, reschedule, and drop options.
  4. 4A branch waits for replies and separates responders from non-responders.
  5. 5Responders' choices are applied as status, due date, or close in ClickUp.
  6. 6Non-responding tasks are auto-downgraded in priority in ClickUp.
