r/clickup

New to ClickUp and trying to understand dependency behavior.

I have three tasks:

• Task A: 11/18/26 → 11/19/26
• Task B: 11/20/26 → 11/24/26 Auto Scheduled, blocked by A
• Task C: 11/20/26 Auto Scheduled and is Blocked by both Task A and Task B

My expectation was that Task C wouldn't be able to start until both predecessor tasks were complete, which would make its start date 11/25/26.

Instead, ClickUp automatically scheduled Task C to start on 11/20/26, the day after Task A ends, even though Task B continues through 11/24/26.

ClickUp AI told me that Task C was effectively scheduled based on Task A's completion and didn't account for the later completion date of Task B.

Is this really how ClickUp dependencies work? If a task is blocked by multiple tasks, shouldn't it wait for the latest blocker to finish before scheduling?

Curious if I'm missing a setting or if this is just a major failure with ClickUp's dependency engine.

Any work arounds?

I have a website with my custom made form, with fields like name, phone etc. I want the submitted forms to be sent to a list, where the fields are fed into a custom fields.

Can I make this in ClickUp, or do I need a third party service like Zappier or Make? Can I even do it without any service providing their forms?

Thanks

I have set an Email integration (IMAP).

I create a task, within task I sent an email to Alice.

Alice will get the email and reply within outlook

The reply never shows in the Clickup List or the task. But the reply is visible in the integrated email account interface.

What I am I doing wrong?
