Manage Assigned Messages and Comments in ClickUp
The ClickUp mobile app makes it easy to keep track of work you owe other people by showing all of your assigned messages and comments in one place. This how-to guide walks you through opening, viewing, and managing those assignments directly from your phone so you can stay on top of follow-ups wherever you are.
What are assigned comments in ClickUp?
Assigned comments in ClickUp are action items created from any comment or message. Instead of losing important requests in long conversations, a teammate can assign a specific comment to you with a due date so it appears as a clear to-do.
On mobile, these assigned items are grouped in a dedicated view. From there, you can:
- See every comment or message assigned to you
- Open the related task, doc, or chat
- Update the status or mark work as done
- Reply or add more context without leaving the item
Open assigned messages in the ClickUp mobile app
Use the mobile app to jump straight to your assigned items. The exact navigation may vary slightly depending on your device, but the core steps remain the same.
Step 1: Launch the ClickUp mobile app
- Open the ClickUp app on your iOS or Android device.
- Make sure you are logged into the correct Workspace where your work is assigned.
If you manage multiple Workspaces, confirm you are viewing the one that contains the tasks and comments you expect to see.
Step 2: Go to your notifications or inbox
From the app’s bottom navigation, open the section where you normally monitor updates. This might be labeled as notifications or inbox, depending on your version of the ClickUp mobile experience.
In this area you can find:
- New comments on tasks you follow
- Mentions that include your name
- Messages and comments assigned directly to you
Step 3: Filter for assigned messages and comments
Locate the option that focuses on responsibility, such as a filter or tab for items assigned to you. When you enable this, the mobile view highlights only the conversations where you have been explicitly assigned a comment or message.
This dedicated stream helps you distinguish between general notifications and the items that require direct action from you.
View details of assigned items in ClickUp
Once you open your assigned items view in ClickUp, you can see each comment or message along with its context. Use this area to understand what is being asked and where it lives in your Workspace.
Open the related task or location
- Tap any assigned comment or message in the list.
- The app opens the related task, doc, chat, or location where that comment was created.
This context shows you the full conversation, attachments, and task details so you can make informed decisions about the next step.
Review the assignment details
Within the opened item, review the key information connected to the comment:
- Who assigned the comment to you
- The due date or time, if one was set
- The exact text of the message or comment
- Any previous replies or thread activity
This information ensures you understand the requested action before you respond or mark anything as complete.
Act on assigned comments in the ClickUp app
The main value of assigned comments in ClickUp is the ability to turn conversation into action. From your mobile device, you can take several important steps without needing the desktop app.
Reply to an assigned message
- With the assigned item open, tap into the reply or comment field.
- Type your response, clarification, or status update.
- Send your reply to update your teammates in real time.
Replying within the same thread keeps all context together so other people can see exactly what has been done or what is still needed.
Update task details from ClickUp mobile
If your assigned comment is tied to a task, you can often update the task directly from your phone. Depending on your configuration and permissions, you may be able to:
- Change the task status
- Edit the task’s assignees
- Adjust due dates or priorities
- Add or view attachments
Managing task details alongside the assigned comment minimizes back and forth and keeps work moving.
Mark an assigned comment as done
- Open the assigned comment or message from your list.
- Look for the option to mark the comment complete or resolved.
- Tap the control to indicate that the requested action is finished.
When you mark the assigned comment as done, it clears from your active list so you can focus on what is still pending.
Stay organized with assigned comments in ClickUp
Using assigned comments effectively in the ClickUp mobile app can significantly improve how you manage your day. Here are a few organization tips you can apply:
- Check your assigned items view at the start and end of each day.
- Prioritize comments with the earliest due dates or highest impact.
- Reply quickly when you need more information instead of waiting.
- Mark items as done as soon as you finish the requested work.
By reviewing this list regularly, you ensure that important requests do not get buried under general notifications.
