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).

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.
