ClickUp runs the work. Unblockd gets the answer.
Keep planning and tracking in ClickUp. Unblockd is where the person you’re waiting on decides, and it reads from ClickUp, so nobody types anything twice.

- Someone outside your team
- ClickUpGuests get view, comment, or edit access to the tasks, lists, docs, and dashboards you share with them.

Use them together.
Your workspace stays as it is. Your sponsor gets one page that opens on the decision you need from them, and their answer lands on the blocker.
- Questions they can answer
- Each blocker becomes one question with the options written out, your recommendation marked, and the day you need it.
- Follow-ups that send themselves
- If an ask waits 3 days, a reminder goes out for you, and another before the deadline. Nudge or escalate in one tap.
- Progress with proof
- Your sponsor sees each deliverable’s progress with the doc, PR, or demo behind it. A task can only be marked done with its proof attached.
- Your AI drafts, you approve
- Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, or Cursor can draft asks and updates through MCP. A person on your team approves what goes out.
When to use both
Keep ClickUp as it is. Adding Unblockd pays off when any of these sound familiar.
- Decisions get lost in comment threads on tasks.
- Your sponsor wants one page with what needs them, instead of your workspace.
- Unanswered questions need follow-ups you don’t have time to write.
