Blue
#368 most-usedManage projects and tasks through a powerful GraphQL API
Blue is a modern project management platform that organises teams around projects, tasks, and custom workflows — all powered by a GraphQL API. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create and update tasks, pull progress data, invite team members, tag records for triage, and query any corner of your project data — all without anyone opening Blue manually.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate manual project creation, task status updates, end-of-week reporting, and blocker searches that teams perform repeatedly across Blue without automation.
What your Blue agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Blue × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Deal closed — client project ready in Blue
When HubSpot fires a Closed Won event, the agent creates a Blue project from the client onboarding template, populates custom fields with the deal value and account manager, invites the account manager, and posts the project link to the #new-clients Slack channel — the delivery team has a live board before the sales rep has finished celebrating.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

What your agent runs for you
- Sales20 min / weekManual project creation on deal close
After a deal closes, someone on the ops team logs into Blue, creates a project, adds custom fields, and invites the account manager — usually later that day or the next morning.
Sales Agent0 minAgent creates the project the moment the deal closesWhen HubSpot fires the Closed Won event, the agent creates the Blue project from the template, populates fields, and invites the account manager — the board is live before the sales call ends.
- Marketing25 min / weekManual campaign project setup each quarter
For each new campaign the team creates a Blue project, sets up stages, adds custom fields, and invites the relevant channel leads — typically taking 20 to 30 minutes per campaign.
Marketing Agent0 minAgent scaffolds campaign projects from templates automaticallyWhen a new campaign is confirmed in Notion, the agent creates the Blue project from the campaign template, tags it by channel, and invites leads — the team has a ready board in under a minute.
- Customer Support15 min / weekManual incident tracking across tools
When a critical ticket comes in, someone manually creates a Blue record, adds a checklist, assigns it, and tags it — often under pressure and sometimes with steps missed.
Customer Support Agent0 minAgent creates a structured incident record in secondsThe agent creates a Blue record with a standard response checklist, tags it, assigns the on-call engineer, and posts the link to Slack — all within about a minute of the escalation.
- Human Resources30 min / weekOnboarding projects created manually for each new hire
HR manually creates a Blue project for each incoming employee, sets up the checklist, populates custom fields, and invites the manager — typically the day before start date when time is short.
Human Resources Agent0 minAgent creates and prepopulates onboarding projects automaticallyWhen a new hire appears in the HRIS two weeks before their start date, the agent creates the Blue project, pre-fills all custom fields, and invites the manager — no HR involvement required.
- Finance22 min / weekManual end-of-month task export for invoicing
The accounts team opens Blue, filters by project and tag, exports completed tasks, copies values into the billing sheet, and checks for gaps — a process taking 60 to 90 minutes each month.
Finance Agent0 minAgent exports billable tasks to the billing sheet automaticallyThe agent runs a custom GraphQL export of all billable completed records and writes them to the billing sheet on the last business day — the accounts team starts invoicing with a complete pre-populated data set.
- Operations50 min / weekWeekly project status assembled manually from Blue
Ops opens each Blue project, counts tasks, notes completion rates, and builds a summary for leadership — typically taking 45 to 60 minutes every Monday morning.
Operations Agent0 minAgent writes the leadership dashboard before the all-handsThe agent queries Blue for completion metrics across all projects, writes the data to Google Sheets, and posts the dashboard link to Slack — leadership has the data before 8 AM without ops lifting a finger.
- Legal20 min / weekManual search for legal-review tasks each Monday
The legal team manually opens each Blue project, filters for review-pending tasks, and compiles the list — typically taking 20 minutes and prone to missing tasks in less-watched projects.
Legal Agent0 minAgent surfaces all legal-review tasks in a single Monday digestThe agent searches Blue across every project for 'legal-review-pending' tagged records and posts a digest to Slack — the full legal review queue is ready before the team's first coffee.

How to plug Blue into Actionist
Pick the connection method that suits your environment.
Connect via Blue's two-part API token. You need both the Token ID and Token Secret from your Blue API settings — both are required, and both are treated as secrets.
Log in to your Blue account, go to Account Settings, and navigate to API Settings.
Click Generate Token to create a new API token pair. Copy both the Token ID and the Token Secret — you will not be able to retrieve the Token Secret again after closing the dialog.
Enter both values in Actionist's Blue connection form and click Test Connection. Actionist will verify the handshake against the Blue GraphQL endpoint before saving.
