Duplicate Detection
Find and clean up duplicate tasks in your ClickUp backlog.
Overview
Jasper can detect potentially duplicate tasks in your ClickUp backlog using AI-powered similarity analysis. This helps keep your backlog clean and prevents duplicate work.
Using Backlog Cleanup
- Navigate to Settings → Backlog Cleanup
- Select the ClickUp space to scan
- Click Scan for Duplicates
- Review detected duplicate pairs with similarity scores
- Take action: dismiss, link as related, or merge tasks
How It Works
The duplicate detection system uses AI to analyze:
- Task titles - Similar names or descriptions
- Task content - Similar requirements or user stories
- Keywords - Matching technical terms or feature names
- Context - Related project areas or components
Similarity Scores
Each potential duplicate pair is assigned a similarity score:
| Score | Meaning | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| 90-100% | Very likely duplicate | Review and merge |
| 70-89% | Probably duplicate | Review carefully |
| 50-69% | Possibly related | Link as related or dismiss |
Actions
Dismiss
Mark the pair as "not duplicates". They won't appear in future scans. Use this when tasks are similar but intentionally separate.
Link as Related
Create a relationship between the tasks in ClickUp without merging them. Useful for tasks that are related but not duplicates.
Merge Tasks
Combine two tasks into one:
- Choose which task to keep as the primary
- Comments and attachments are merged
- The duplicate task is archived or deleted
Caution: Merging tasks is irreversible. Always review both tasks carefully before merging to ensure no important information is lost.
Scheduling Scans
You can configure automatic periodic scans:
- Weekly - Scan every Monday morning
- Bi-weekly - Scan every other week
- Monthly - Scan on the 1st of each month
Results are emailed to organization admins and available in the dashboard.
