What CoIsland watches in ClickUp

Each monitor kind brings its own query and its own card in the island.

How to watch ClickUp from an island on your Mac

Each monitor is a ring in the island that counts down to its next check. When a task comes in, the island opens for a few seconds with its sound, and the card lists it as Sprint 42 ENG-42 · In progress · Overdue, Tue 22 Sep · Urgent: where, its status, when it is due, and how urgent.

A click opens the alert in CoIsland, where the task fills in live: its description, assignees, tags and comments, and Open in ClickUp. Connect ClickUp covers every field and kind; all connectors share one page.

Connect it in three steps

  1. Generate a personal API token under your ClickUp avatar › Settings › Apps.

  2. Add a ClickUp connector with it. Test connector finds your name and Workspaces.

  3. Pick a monitor kind or an example, pick Spaces and lists by name, and choose when it alerts.

Built for ClickUp

  • Your own personal token, no admin and no app to register.
  • Read only: it never changes a task or its status.
  • A few requests a check, well inside the 100 a minute most plans allow.
  • The token stays in the macOS Keychain and goes only to ClickUp's API.

Then hand it to an agent

A click on the alert opens the agent in a terminal under it, with the whole alert as its first message.

ClickUp questions

Does CoIsland need a ClickUp admin?

No. Any member who can use a personal API token in the Workspace can connect. Owners and admins can take that permission away from a role; then ClickUp refuses the Workspace and CoIsland says so.

How do I watch a status with a space in its name?

Write it with an underscore, like `status:in_progress`. The editor's field takes it that way too.

Will it alert me about every task already assigned to me?

No. The first check learns what is already there and stays quiet; after that, only what is new alerts.
