Map these areas to your current ClickUp spaces, folders, and lists so the AI can work with the right data.
Step 3: Organize Your Workspace for Partnerships

This structure lets the AI Agents quickly surface and summarize the right partner data.
Using ClickUp Partnership Management AI Agents in Daily Work
Once your workspace is structured, you can begin using Partnership Management AI Agents in your daily workflows.
Use ClickUp AI Agents for Partner Account Summaries
For every major partner, you can ask an Agent to assemble a concise summary using the tasks, notes, and account records stored in your workspace.
- Open the partner account list or a specific task.
- Invoke the AI Agent from the task, doc, or chat interface.
- Ask for an account summary, including active deals, open tasks, and key stakeholders.
- Review the summary and pin it to the account doc or hub for quick reference.
This summary can be reused for executive updates, strategy meetings, or QBR preparation.
Draft Partner Communications With ClickUp
Partnership teams send frequent updates to partners about launches, deal progress, and joint activities. You can use ClickUp AI Agents to draft and refine these messages.
- Open the related task, comment, or doc.
- Provide the Agent with context, such as the opportunity name, stage, and partner role.
- Ask the Agent to draft an email, meeting recap, or update statement.
- Edit the draft for tone and accuracy before sending in your email tool.
You can also standardize partner-facing templates so AI Agents can fill in specific details from your ClickUp data.
Create and Update Tasks for Partner Deals
Every partner opportunity requires coordination across internal and external teams. ClickUp AI Agents can help convert unstructured notes into actionable items.
- Paste call notes or meeting highlights into a doc or task comment.
- Ask the AI Agent to extract action items related to your partner, customer, and internal teams.
- Have the Agent convert these into tasks with owners and due dates.
