ClickUp Trigger

Trigger workflows when a task is created or updated in a ClickUp list.

Overview

Start a workflow when a task changes in a ClickUp list. Point the trigger at a List ID and choose what fires it:

  • Task created — fires once per new task (watches date_created).
  • Task created or updated — fires on any change (watches date_updated), including tasks being closed or completed.

How polling works

  • Falcon Builder checks the list every few minutes and delivers tasks changed since the last check, oldest first, so nothing is missed between runs.
  • Use Statuses to only fire for tasks in certain statuses (e.g. to do, in progress), and Include Subtasks to also watch subtasks.
  • Max per Poll caps how many tasks are emitted per check (1–100).

Trigger output ($json)

  • {{$json.id}} — the task ID
  • {{$json.event}}task_created or task_updated
  • {{$json.name}} / {{$json.status}} / {{$json.priority}} — core task fields
  • {{$json.url}} — direct link to the task
  • {{$json.assignees}} — assignee list (id, username, email)
  • {{$json.dueDate}} / {{$json.dateCreated}} / {{$json.dateUpdated}} — timestamps (epoch ms)
  • {{$json.task}} — the full ClickUp task object for anything else

Notes

  • In created or updated mode, editing a task re-fires the trigger. Branch on {{$json.status}} (or another field) if you only want to act on certain changes.
  • Find the List ID with a ClickUp node (List → Get Many) or from the list's URL in the ClickUp app.
  • Production triggers follow the published workflow — publish after adding or reconfiguring the trigger.
