How to automate sub-task status updates in ClickUp

Question

Hello! I am very new to Zapier.Can somebody help me with the following problem: In ClickUp I have the following structure:Task (1) - SubTask (1.1)- - SubSubTask (1.1.1)- - SubSubTask (1.1.2)- SubTask (1.2) How can I make the following logic: When I update Task (1) Status to “IN PROGRESS”Then I need SubTask (1.1) Status also to change to “IN PROGRESS”And SubSubTask (1.1.1) also change to “IN PROGRESS”.Important to mention, that names for SubTask (1.1) and SubSubTask (1.1.1), as well as other subtasks are unique, and if there an option for that it is possible to find them and assign some ID by name. But how?

Hey ​@AntonV,Yeah it can be done and you will have to make Include Subtasks to True and use Looping and Webhooks in Zapier.Here is a sample flow-Task Change TriggerFliter actionFind Task with Subtask includedLoop through SubtasksUpdate Each Subtask StatusCall a Webhook to update SubSubTasksYou have to use two Zaps and chain them together with Webhooks as Zapier doesn’t support Nested Loops. Here is helpful article about Looping, Filter and Webhooks in Zapier-https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496106701453-Loop-your-Zap-actionshttps://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496276332557-Add-conditions-to-Zaps-with-filtershttps://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496083355661-How-to-get-started-with-Webhooks-by-ZapierThis is a sample flow and exact flow depends on your exact requirements as workflows are usually personalized to user’s need.
