PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Turn Loom standup videos into ClickUp blocker tasks

When a teammate posts a Loom standup video, transcribe it, extract any blockers they mention, and open a ClickUp task for each one so nothing said out loud gets lost.

What it does

Every async standup recorded in Loom gets read for you. The workflow pulls the transcript, asks an LLM to isolate concrete blockers ("I'm stuck waiting on the API key"), and files each as a ClickUp task tagged to the speaker, so spoken-only impediments become tracked work instead of evaporating.

When to use it

Use it when your team does daily video standups in Loom and blockers regularly get mentioned but never make it onto the board. Ideal for distributed teams across time zones where no one is in a live call to catch and assign follow-ups.

How it works

  1. 1A new Loom video lands in your standup space and fires the trigger.
  2. 2The workflow fetches the video transcript from Loom.
  3. 3An OpenAI call classifies the transcript and extracts a structured list of blockers, each with a short title and the affected work item.
  4. 4A logic step checks whether any blockers were found; clean standups exit quietly.
  5. 5For each blocker, a ClickUp task is created in the team's board, assigned to the recorder and tagged `blocker`.
  6. 6The new task links are posted back as the delivery so the recorder sees exactly what was filed.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect LoomVideo transcripts, libraries.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect ClickUpDocs + tasks + chats in one workspace.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
