What if we could do this with a simple slash command?\n\n## Step 1\nThe first step is to Create an endpoint URL for your slack command by creating an events API from the link [below] https://api.slack.com/apps/)\n\n## STEP 2 \nNext step is defining the endpoint for your URL\nCreate a new webhook endpoint from your n8n with a POST and paste the endpoint URL to your event API. This will send all slash commands associated with the Slash to the desired endpoint\n\n\nOnce you have tested the webhook slash command is working with the webhook, create a new Clickup API that can be used to create new tasks in ClickUp\n\nThis workflow creates a new task with the start dates on Clikup that can be assigned to the respective team members\n\nMore details about the document setup can be found on this document [below](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jw_UP6sXmGsIMktW0Z-b-yQB1leDLatUY2393bA4z8s/edit?usp=sharing)\n\n   ####  Happy Productivity\n"
