๐ ClickUp Systems, Automation & Scaling Ops Recap
๐ Wins to Kick Off
- Systems are getting clearer and more organized.
- Momentum building around improving onboarding and operations.
- Strong breakthroughs in simplifying ClickUp for scale.
- Team gaining clarity on automation and AI potential.
๐ฅ๏ธ Training / Coaching Highlights
- Consolidate all client operations into one main list using statuses instead of multiple lists.
- Keep client info fields in the main list and move all performance metrics to a separate Metrics Directory.
- Automations should move tasks through stages without manual handoffs.
- EOD Reports need one central home so ClickUp AI can summarize and analyze across roles.
- AI can now manage health scores, task creation, onboarding, and even generate SOPs from video calls.
๐ฏ Frameworks & Strategies
- ClickUp should operate on a single-list structure:
- Build onboarding as a stage-based workflow (Intake โ Welcome Email โ Anti-Remorse Call โ Build).
- Use AI custom fields to eliminate manual Make.com mapping.
- Push data from HighLevel forms into ClickUp through API โ let AI place information correctly.
- Use ClickUp Chat to replace internal Slack channels with task-linked discussions and instant task creation.
- Store all EODs in one list per role to unlock AI reporting and team-wide insights.
๐ง Mindset Lessons
- Systems that work for one person donโt scale โ build for where youโre going, not where you are.
- Keep structures simple. Complexity is the enemy of delegation.
- Automations should remove thinking, not add more work.
- AI is not a โnice to haveโโitโs the new operational backbone.
- Donโt cling to old workflows out of habit. Build for a 100-client agency now.
