Automate Course Videos to ClickUp Tasks with AI & n8n Workflow

Transform Course Videos into Actionable ClickUp Tasks Automatically

Stop watching course videos without turning knowledge into action. This n8n workflow automatically converts any course or lecture video into a structured ClickUp task list using AI-powered video analysis and GPT-4o-mini task generation. Simply submit a video URL with course details, and watch as your learning content becomes an organized, actionable project plan.

What This Workflow Does

• Automatically summarizes course modules — WayinVideo extracts structured summaries with numbered highlights from your video content, giving GPT real material to work with
• Generates 5-12 actionable tasks in structured JSON — GPT-4o-mini analyzes the summary and returns tasks with action verb titles, detailed descriptions explaining what to do and why it matters, task types, time estimates, and step-by-step checklists
• Creates organized ClickUp tasks — Each task is automatically created in ClickUp with your specified priority and due date, prefixed with the course name for easy organization
• Applies consistent tagging — All tasks receive "course-task" and "learning" tags for streamlined filtering and project management
• Logs everything to Google Sheets — Every generated task is tracked with ClickUp Task ID and URL for complete audit trails and reporting

Use Cases

Perfect for learning and development teams implementing structured training programs, student communities turning lectures into study plans, training managers converting corporate education into measurable outcomes, and knowledge workers who want their professional development to translate directly into executable action items.
