ClickUp Guide to WhatsApp AI Images

ClickUp now makes it easier to bring AI-generated images straight into your workflows by helping you plan, brief, and organize prompts you send to Perplexity AI on WhatsApp. This guide walks you step by step through setting everything up so you can move from idea to image to organized task in one smooth process.

What You Need Before You Start With ClickUp

Before connecting your workflow, make sure you have the basic tools in place.

• An active WhatsApp account on your phone or desktop
• Access to Perplexity AI features that support image generation via WhatsApp
• A ClickUp Workspace where you can store prompts, feedback, and final image references

Once these pieces are ready, you can set up a reliable loop from WhatsApp to your projects.

How Perplexity AI Image Generation on WhatsApp Works

Perplexity AI recently introduced image generation inside WhatsApp. You send a prompt as a normal message, and the assistant returns one or more images right inside your chat. This makes it convenient to brainstorm visuals on mobile, but you still need a place to organize ideas and connect them to real work. That is where ClickUp fits in.

At a high level, the workflow looks like this:

1. Draft a clear visual brief.
2. Send your prompt to Perplexity AI in WhatsApp.
3. Receive the images in chat.
4. Move the prompts and results into ClickUp tasks or docs.

Step 1: Create a Visual Brief in ClickUp

Start inside ClickUp with a structured brief so your image prompts are focused and repeatable.

Use a ClickUp Doc for Your Prompt Template

Create a new Doc in your Workspace and add a simple template you can reuse. For each image you want to generate, include sections like:

• Project name
• Goal of the image (ad, social post, mockup, illustration, etc.)
• Target audience
• Style and mood
• Format (ratio, resolution, orientation)
• Platform you will publish on

Saving this as a template inside ClickUp ensures everyone on your team follows the same structure, which makes it easier to compare results from Perplexity AI.

Store Prompts Inside a ClickUp List

Next, build a List that acts as your prompt library. Each task can represent one image concept. In each task, add:

• A short title that summarizes the image idea
• The full prompt text you plan to send on WhatsApp
• Any links or references you want the image to resemble

This way, your WhatsApp chat becomes the execution layer, while ClickUp remains your single source of truth for creative direction.

Step 2: Send the Prompt to Perplexity on WhatsApp

When your brief and prompt are finalized in ClickUp, open WhatsApp and find the Perplexity AI contact or bot.

1. Copy the finalized prompt from your ClickUp task or Doc.
2. Paste it into the WhatsApp conversation.
3. Include any instructions about number of variations or style tweaks if supported.
4. Send the message and wait for the generated images to appear.

Because your prompt was planned inside ClickUp, you can quickly test variations without rewriting everything from scratch.

Step 3: Review and Iterate Using ClickUp

When Perplexity AI returns images in WhatsApp, you can refine them until they match your brief.

Capture Results in Your ClickUp Task

For each round of images, update your original task in ClickUp:

• Add screenshots or downloaded image files as attachments.
• Paste any refined prompts or follow-up messages you used in WhatsApp.
• Record which variation your team prefers.

This builds a history of your experimentation so you can reuse the best-performing prompts on future campaigns.

Use ClickUp Comments for Feedback

Instead of sending feedback only inside WhatsApp, gather team input in ClickUp comments:

• Mention teammates to review a specific attachment.
• Ask for feedback on colors, composition, or typography.
• Mark decisions clearly so designers, marketers, or clients know which version is final.

Centralizing feedback in ClickUp reduces confusion and shortens approval cycles when you use AI images across multiple channels.

Step 4: Turn AI Images Into Actionable Work in ClickUp

Once you choose the best images, convert them into tasks and deliverables in ClickUp so your team can execute.

Create Implementation Tasks in ClickUp

From the original prompt task, create subtasks or linked tasks for:

• Design resizing and editing
• Copywriting for captions or ad text
• Landing page or email updates featuring the new images
• Scheduling content in your social or campaign calendar

Each implementation task in ClickUp can link back to the original WhatsApp-generated image and prompt.

Track Performance With ClickUp Custom Fields

If you are using AI images in campaigns, add custom fields in ClickUp to store performance metrics, such as:

• Click-through rate
• Conversion rate
• Engagement on social posts
• Ad spend and return on ad spend

This turns your ClickUp Workspace into an optimization hub where creative testing with Perplexity AI leads directly to measurable results.

Best Practices for Prompts and Organization in ClickUp

To get reliable image quality and keep your workspace clean, follow these practices.

• Standardize prompt formats using ClickUp templates.
• Group prompts by campaign or client using Folders and Lists.
• Use tags to mark prompt types, such as product shots, lifestyle, or thumbnails.
• Archive outdated concepts while preserving the best prompts for later reuse.

A consistent structure in ClickUp makes it easier to scale your WhatsApp image generation without losing track of what works.

Bring WhatsApp AI Images Into Organized ClickUp Workflows

Using Perplexity AI in WhatsApp is a fast way to experiment with visual ideas, but without structure, great concepts can get lost in chat threads. By planning prompts, documenting iterations, and managing approvals inside ClickUp, you turn casual experimentation into a repeatable creative engine.

Start with a simple Doc template for briefs, a List for your prompt library, and a set of tasks to track outcomes. As you refine your process, you will have a complete record of what you tried, which AI images performed best, and how your team turned them into real business results.
