Flow

The Flow page reads your ClickUp tracker as a process signal — how work actually moves — rather than mirroring your task list. It looks at the history of status changes to surface rework, tasks that have gone stale, and how long work takes, then joins that to what’s being talked about and how people feel.

Flow only has data once you’ve connected ClickUp:

  1. Bind the project to a ClickUp space, folder, or list under Settings → Connections (see Connect ClickUp).
  2. Run the backfill for that binding. The backfill is also what registers the ClickUp webhook, so future status changes stream in automatically.

Until then the page shows “No ClickUp tasks tracked yet — bind a container and back-fill it in Settings → Tracker.”

Across the top, five figures summarise the tracked tasks:

Figure What it means
Tasks tracked How many tasks Flow is following.
Reworked Tasks that bounced backward — moved to an earlier phase than the furthest they’d reached — shown as a count and the share of all tasks.
Overdue Open tasks past their ClickUp due date.
Aging > 14d Open tasks that have sat in the same status for more than 14 days.
Median cycle The typical time a task takes from when work starts to when it’s first marked done.

Below that, a set of panels:

  • Overdue — open tasks past their due date, most overdue first.
  • Most reworked — the tasks that bounced backward the most, with a rework count.
  • Oldest in status — open tasks that haven’t moved, with how long they’ve been stuck.
  • By phase — how many tasks sit in each status right now.
  • By type — the spread of ClickUp item types (task, epic, milestone…). Epics and milestones are containers rather than real work; exclude them in Settings → Tracker → Flow tuning if they’re inflating the figures.

Task rows carry small chips showing the ClickUp item type (with a ↳ marker for subtasks), any tags or custom-field values, and the list the task sits in — the same signals you can filter on in flow tuning.

If a status, list, item type, tag, or old task is skewing the numbers, exclude it under Settings → Tracker → Flow tuning (see Connect ClickUp). When any filter is active, the page shows a small “filtered by your Tracker flow settings” note at the top.

The Topic health panel joins three views of each topic: the talk (actions), the work (ClickUp flow), and the mood (sentiment). It leads with the topics where those disagree, worst first, and flags two patterns:

  • Narrative vs reality — the topic’s mood reads positive, but the work is slipping (tasks reworked or ageing).
  • Commitment gap — a topic is talked about in actions but nothing is being tracked for it in ClickUp.

Each row links to the topic so you can dig into the detail.

See Commitment gap and Flow in the glossary for short definitions.
