What it does

This workflow turns duplicate detection into a one-click human decision. When a new ClickUp ticket looks like a duplicate, it posts the proposed merge to Slack with Approve and Dismiss actions. On approval, it closes the duplicate, links it to the original, and copies any unique detail forward. Nothing is merged without a person saying yes.

When to use it

Use this when merges are consequential enough that you don't want fully automated closure, but you still want the heavy lifting (detection, summarizing, linking) done for the reviewer.

How it works

  1. 1A ClickUp task-created webhook fires.
  2. 2OpenAI compares the new ticket to recent open tickets and identifies the best duplicate candidate.
  3. 3A logic step continues only if the match clears the confidence threshold.
  4. 4The flow posts an interactive Slack approval with both tickets summarized.
  5. 5On approval, the flow closes the duplicate in ClickUp, adds a relationship link to the original, and appends a note recording the merge.
