How to Use ClickUp for AI Image Workflows

ClickUp can organize every step of your AI image creation workflow, from brainstorming prompts to tracking results across campaigns and clients. This guide walks you through a practical, repeatable process to manage AI image projects from start to finish.

The steps below are inspired by common tasks used with Ideogram-style image tools, adapted into a structured system you can run entirely inside ClickUp.

Step 1: Plan Your AI Image Projects in ClickUp

Start by turning each AI image initiative into a clear project so nothing gets lost and every request is trackable.

Create a ClickUp Space and Folders

Set up a dedicated area for your AI design work:

• Create a Space named something like AI Design & Images.
• Inside the Space, add Folders such as:
  • Marketing Campaigns
  • Social Media Graphics
  • Website & Blog Visuals
  • Client Image Requests

This simple structure makes it easier to filter, report, and reuse work across projects.

Build a ClickUp List for Each Image Batch

Within each Folder, create a List for a specific campaign or content batch, for example:

• Spring Product Launch Images
• Weekly Blog Thumbnails
• Q4 Ad Creative Tests

Every task in that List will represent a single AI-generated asset or a small group of related images.

Step 2: Design a ClickUp Task Template for AI Images

A consistent task template speeds up work and ensures every image request includes everything your team needs.

Define Custom Fields in ClickUp

Add Custom Fields to your AI image Lists so you can sort and filter requests quickly:

• Image Type (dropdown: Ad, Social Post, Thumbnail, Banner, Hero Image, Presentation Slide)
• Platform (dropdown: Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Website, Blog, YouTube)
• Aspect Ratio (text or dropdown: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:5, Custom)
• Target Audience (text)
• Brand Style (dropdown: Corporate, Playful, Minimal, Bold, Experimental)
• AI Tool Used (dropdown: Ideogram, Midjourney, DALL·E, Others)
• Usage Scenario (dropdown: Organic, Paid Ads, Email, Landing Page)
• Approval Status (dropdown: Needs Review, Approved, Revisions Needed)

These fields turn a messy set of requests into data you can report on later.

Structure the ClickUp Task Description

In your task template, use a simple outline so every prompt is clear:

1. Goal: What the image should accomplish (e.g., “increase click-through on product page”)
2. Core Message: Single sentence that should come through visually or in text
3. Prompt: The exact text prompt for the AI tool
4. Style References: Links or notes about colors, fonts, or brand rules
5. Copy Requirements: Exact words that must appear in the image, if any
6. Technical Specs: Size, format, and file weight guidelines
7. Notes: Any constraints, legal notes, or disclaimers

Convert this into a reusable task template in ClickUp so every new image request starts with the same structure.

Step 3: Capture Requests in ClickUp Using Forms

When your team grows, AI image requests will multiply. A ClickUp Form prevents chaos by forcing requesters to share the right details.

Build a ClickUp Form for Image Intake

Create a Form view connected to your AI image List and map fields to your template:

• Requester Name and Team
• Due Date and Priority
• Image Type and Platform
• Target Audience
• Goal of the Image
• Required Text or Offers
• Examples or References (file upload or links)

When someone submits the Form, ClickUp automatically creates a fully detailed task with all fields filled in.

Route Requests with ClickUp Automations

Use Automations to move work to the right people instantly:

• Assign tasks based on Image Type or Platform.
• Change status to Ready for Prompting when a form submission arrives.
• Send a notification to the design lead when a High Priority request is created.

This reduces manual triage and keeps AI image tasks flowing smoothly.

Step 4: Manage AI Prompting and Iterations in ClickUp

AI image creation usually requires multiple tries. ClickUp helps you keep each version organized and easy to compare.

Track Prompt Versions Inside ClickUp Tasks

Use the task comment thread or a dedicated section in the description to record prompt experiments:

• Label attempts as Prompt v1, Prompt v2, and so on.
• Paste the exact prompt used for each attempt.
• Note what changed and why (e.g., “added lighting details” or “made text shorter”).

This history lets you reuse winning prompts later and understand what works for your brand.

Attach AI Images and Organize by Status

After generating images with your chosen tool, upload them into ClickUp:

• Attach files directly to the main task.
• Use comments to tag stakeholders in context with each image.
• Apply statuses such as In Prompting, First Draft Ready, Under Review, and Final Approved.

Step 5: Run Reviews and Approvals in ClickUp

Approval is often the slowest step in creative production. ClickUp gives you a clear path to get sign-off quickly.

Set a ClickUp Review Process

Define exactly how an image gets approved:

1. Designer changes status to Ready for Review.
2. Marketing or product owner is auto-assigned as a reviewer via Automation.
3. Reviewer leaves feedback in comments, using bullet points for each requested change.
4. Designer updates the prompt, generates new versions, and re-uploads.
5. Once approved, the status is changed to Final Approved and the Approval Status field is updated.

This makes it obvious which images can be used in campaigns and which still need changes.

Use ClickUp Views for Transparency

Create different views so each role sees what matters:

• Board View by Status for high-level progress.
• Table View with Custom Fields for performance and usage data.
• Calendar View to align image delivery with launch dates.

These views keep your AI image pipeline aligned with your overall content calendar.

Step 6: Store and Reuse Final Assets with ClickUp

Once images are live, you need a reliable way to find and reuse them. ClickUp can act as a lightweight asset hub.

Organize Final Images in ClickUp

Create a Folder or List dedicated to final assets only:

• Move or duplicate approved tasks into a Final Assets List.
• Tag tasks with campaign names and seasons, such as Black Friday 2025 or Evergreen Blog.
• Use Custom Fields (e.g., Usage Scenario) to indicate where images have already been used.

This prevents accidental reuse in conflicting campaigns and saves time when you need similar visuals.

Report on AI Image Performance in ClickUp

Combine campaign metrics from your analytics tools with notes in ClickUp:

• Add fields like CTR, Conversion Rate, or Engagement Rate.
• Log results per image or per batch.
• Review patterns: which styles, prompts, or colors perform best.

Over time, this data helps you refine prompts and image styles so AI output consistently supports your business goals.

Step 7: Improve Your AI Workflow with ClickUp Templates

Once your process works, turn it into templates so your entire team can launch projects in minutes.

Create Reusable ClickUp Blueprints

Save the following as templates:

• AI Image Project Folder with default Lists.
• AI Image Task Template with Custom Fields and description structure.
• Form Template for new image requests.
• Dashboard tracking active image work and performance.

New teammates can simply apply these templates instead of building everything from scratch.
