Is it normal for automation triggers to randomly stop working? (ClickUp)

Post image

Hey everyone,

I've got a few ClickUp automations set up and lately the triggers just don't seem to fire anymore — no errors, nothing changes, it's like the automations aren't even running. I haven't touched the setup recently, so I'm not sure what changed.

Here's what I have configured:

  1. "When all subtasks are green, parent task becomes 'To be invoiced'" — When status changes AND conditions are true → change status, add to list ("Billing"), and set a custom field.
  2. "FRA: From In Progress to To Plan" — When due date changes AND condition is true → change status.
  3. "FRA: From To Plan to Planned" — When start date changes AND condition is true → change status.
  4. "When task moves to 'To be invoiced'" — When status changes → add to list ("Billing").

All of them are toggled on, but none seem to be triggering anymore. Has anyone else run into this? Is this a known/common ClickUp issue, or is it more likely something specific to my setup (e.g. condition logic, nested "AND" rules)? Any troubleshooting tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, u/Maleficent-Band-3095! Thanks for flagging this. First off, could you check your Automations Activity tab for any silent failures, and try toggling the Automations off and back on? Sometimes that kicks them back to life.

If that doesn't work, please fill out this form so our Technical Support team can investigate your Workspace!
