How to Use ClickUp to Manage AI Image Creation Projects
ClickUp can be your central hub for planning, organizing, and tracking every step of your AI image creation workflow, from prompts to final assets and approvals.
This how-to guide walks you through building a simple but powerful workspace that supports work with tools like Bing Image Creator and its alternatives.
Why Use ClickUp for AI Image Creation?
Modern image generation projects involve multiple prompts, revisions, style tests, and approvals. ClickUp helps you bring all of that into one place so you can:
- Collect and refine prompt ideas
- Compare outputs from different image generators
- Track feedback and revision cycles
- Store final assets with context
- Collaborate with writers, designers, and marketers
Whether you work solo or in a team, the flexible task structure lets you map any AI image process into clear, repeatable steps.
Step 1: Set Up a ClickUp Space for AI Images
Start by creating a dedicated Space so all AI image work stays organized.
-
Create a new Space and name it something like “AI Image Studio”.
-
Choose a color and icon so it stands out in your sidebar.
-
Enable features you need: Tasks, Docs, Whiteboards, Dashboards, and Automations.
-
Turn off features you will not use to keep the interface clean.
This Space becomes the home for every prompt idea, draft, output, and final asset you produce.
Step 2: Build a ClickUp Folder and Lists for Your Workflow
Inside your Space, use a Folder to group all projects that rely on AI-generated images.
-
Create a Folder called “Image Generation Projects”.
-
Inside that Folder, create Lists that mirror your process, for example:
- Prompt Backlog – ideas and requests
- In Generation – prompts currently being tested
- Review & Feedback – images shared with stakeholders
- Approved & Final – images ready for publication
These Lists act like stages on a production line, making it easy to see where each image stands.
Step 3: Design a ClickUp Task Template for Image Requests
A consistent task layout keeps prompts and outputs organized. Create a task template specifically for AI image requests.
-
Open the Prompt Backlog List and create a new task.
-
Name it something like “AI Image Request Template”.
-
Add core fields to capture everything you need for each image:
- Prompt (Primary) – main text you will send to your generator
- Negative Prompt – details to avoid
- Use Case – blog, social media, ad, UI mockup, etc.
- Dimensions / Aspect Ratio
- Brand Style Notes – colors, mood, visual rules
- Generator Tool Used – Bing Image Creator, DALL·E, Midjourney, etc.
-
Convert important inputs into Custom Fields so they remain structured and easy to filter or report on.
-
Save this task as a template so you can reuse it for every new request.
With this template, each new request in ClickUp starts with the same high-quality information, reducing back-and-forth questions and rework.
Step 4: Capture Prompts and Ideas in ClickUp
Next, build a habit of sending every idea into your workspace so nothing is lost.
Using ClickUp Tasks for Prompt Backlogs
For each new image idea, create a task in the Prompt Backlog List using your template.
-
Click “New Task” and apply your AI Image Request Template.
-
Fill in the prompt, style notes, and use case.
-
Add attachments like reference images or brand guidelines.
-
Assign the task to the person who will run the generations.
-
Set priority and due dates to keep work moving.
Each task now represents one clear, actionable image request inside ClickUp.
Using ClickUp Docs for Prompt Libraries
You can also use Docs to keep an evolving library of reusable prompts.
- Create a Doc called Prompt Library inside your Space.
- Group prompts by use case: social banners, product shots, blog headers, etc.
- Link each Doc section to related tasks so you can quickly test or reuse prompts.
Over time, this turns ClickUp into a searchable knowledge base of what works best with your chosen generators.
Step 5: Track Image Generation and Revisions in ClickUp
Once you start sending prompts to tools like Bing Image Creator or other platforms mentioned in the alternatives to Bing Image Creator article, you need a simple way to track revisions.
Using Statuses in ClickUp
Customize List statuses to match your revision steps, for example:
- Pending Prompt Review
- Generating
- Needs Revisions
- Awaiting Approval
- Approved
As you work through each phase, simply move tasks to the right status. This gives everyone an instant overview of what is in progress and what is ready to use.
Storing Outputs and Notes in ClickUp Tasks
For each task, you can centralize all outputs and decisions:
- Attach image files or link to external asset libraries.
- Use comments to document what worked or did not work.
- Add checklists for specific revision rounds.
- Tag stakeholders who need to review or approve.
Because everything lives in one task, you always know which image version was selected and why.
Step 6: Use ClickUp Views and Automations
Different views help you visualize your image pipeline from multiple angles.
Helpful ClickUp Views
- Board View – drag-and-drop tasks through statuses like a Kanban board.
- List View – filter prompts by generator tool, campaign, or assignee.
- Calendar View – see when final assets are due or scheduled to publish.
- Table View – review custom fields such as aspect ratio, channel, or usage rights.
Switching views makes it easy to move from strategy to daily execution.
Simple Automations in ClickUp
Automations can remove repetitive work from your AI image process. For example:
- When a status changes to Generating, assign the task to a specific teammate.
- When a task moves to Awaiting Approval, notify your approver in a chat tool.
- When a due date is approaching, automatically increase the task priority.
These small rules keep things moving without constant manual updates.
Step 7: Report on Results With ClickUp Dashboards
Dashboards make it easier to see performance across all AI image projects.
- Track how many prompts are in each status.
- Measure how long it takes from request to final approval.
- Identify which generators or prompt styles are used most often.
By reviewing these metrics, you can refine prompts, adjust workloads, and choose the best tools for future campaigns.
Connect ClickUp to Your Wider Workflow
Your image pipeline does not exist in isolation. Connect your workspace to other tools used for marketing, design, and strategy.
- Link tasks to content calendars or campaign tasks so images are always tied to a larger initiative.
- Use integrations or automation platforms to sync updates with other systems.
- Coordinate with consultants or agencies through shared views or guest access.
