Ready-made Workflow

Track elapsed task time in ClickUp

Measure elapsed hours from the first transition out of New until Closed, including waiting time, nights and weekends. Setup: add a Text field named FastHook Start and a Number field named FastHook Hours to your ClickUp List. Connect ClickUp, select your Workspace, then adjust the field names and start/completion statuses in Choose tracking fields and statuses. Activate before starting tasks. Each status event runs the same workflow; the start timestamp stays on the ClickUp task and Formatter calculates hours at completion. Tasks without both fields are ignored. This template tracks the first cycle only: reopening preserves the result. Completion without a saved start fails visibly; simultaneous or out-of-order events may need review. Check your ClickUp Custom Field allowance. Verified with real ClickUp status changes.

Questions

Template FAQ

Does the template copy someone else's credentials?

No. FastHook creates a disconnected Draft. Connect your own ClickUp accounts before activation.

Can I change the Steps and mappings?

Yes. The copied Workflow is an editable Draft. Review every Step, input, mapping, and route before you activate it.

What is copied into my workspace?

FastHook recreates the Trigger configuration, Action Steps, routes, and mappings with new IDs. Provider accounts, credentials, and secrets are never copied.

When does the Workflow start running?

Only after you connect the required accounts, finish the configuration, and explicitly activate the Draft.
