Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and automation rules to capture the incoming HR request payload and map submission and hour fields to prep calculation.
Update HR request task with calculated annual total hours
Automatically catch HR request payloads across Webhooks by Zapier and ClickUp. Create and update calculated total hours when HR request submitted or hour fields received or task ID includedβso you can update totals, add audit comments, and keep HR and payroll aligned without manual hour math.
How this automation protects annual total hours
When HR request hour fields arrive as separate day and night values, manual math delays approvals and creates payroll risk. This automation monitors Catch Hook submissions and calculates totals, finds the matching ClickUp task, and updates total hours and audit commentsβso your team can trust one value.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
