ClickUp Webhooks API Guide

The ClickUp Webhooks API lets you retrieve existing webhooks for a workspace so you can monitor events and integrate them with your own systems. This guide explains how to use the Get Webhooks endpoint, including authentication, query parameters, and how to read the response payload.

Understanding ClickUp Webhooks

Webhooks in ClickUp are HTTP callbacks that notify your application when specific events occur in your workspace, such as task updates or list changes. Instead of polling the API repeatedly, webhooks push data to your configured URL in real time.

The Get Webhooks endpoint does not create or update webhooks. It only returns existing webhooks that have already been configured in a workspace. Use this endpoint to audit, monitor, or debug webhook configurations.

Prerequisites for Using the ClickUp Webhooks Endpoint

Before calling the Webhooks API, confirm that you have:

  • A valid ClickUp workspace ID (also known as team_id).
  • An active ClickUp API token with appropriate access.
  • A tool to send HTTP requests, such as cURL, Postman, or an HTTP client in your preferred programming language.

Ensure that your API token remains secret and never commit it directly to public repositories or front-end code.

ClickUp Webhooks Endpoint Overview

The Get Webhooks operation is a GET request that retrieves all webhooks configured for a given workspace. You must supply the workspace ID in the request URL path and include your API token in the headers.

ClickUp Webhooks Request URL

The base structure of the endpoint is:

GET https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/team/{team_id}/webhook

Replace {team_id} with the actual workspace ID you want to inspect.

Required Headers for ClickUp Requests

Each request to the Webhooks API must include the following HTTP header:

  • Authorization: Your personal or app ClickUp API token.

Example:

Authorization: YOUR_CLICKUP_API_TOKEN

No request body is required for the Get Webhooks endpoint, because it is a read-only operation.

How to Retrieve Webhooks in ClickUp Step by Step

Follow these steps to retrieve webhooks from your workspace using the ClickUp API.

1. Find Your ClickUp Workspace ID

You must know the workspace (team) ID to call the endpoint. You can obtain the ID from:

  • The ClickUp UI in workspace settings in some contexts.
  • Other API endpoints, such as those that list teams or spaces, depending on your existing integration.

Once you have the ID, note it as team_id.

2. Prepare Your ClickUp API Token

Generate or locate your existing ClickUp API token from your account settings in the ClickUp platform. Keep this token secure and store it in environment variables or a secrets manager when used in code.

3. Build the HTTP Request

Construct a GET request to the endpoint using your workspace ID. An example cURL request looks like this:

curl -X GET 
  'https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/team/{team_id}/webhook' 
  -H 'Authorization: YOUR_CLICKUP_API_TOKEN'

Replace {team_id} and YOUR_CLICKUP_API_TOKEN with real values from your ClickUp workspace and account.

4. Send the Request

Use your preferred HTTP client to send the request:

  • Command line using cURL.
  • API tools such as Postman or Insomnia.
  • Code-based clients in Node.js, Python, Java, or other languages that support HTTPS.

If authentication and the workspace ID are correct, the ClickUp API responds with a JSON payload listing the webhooks.

Interpreting the ClickUp Webhooks Response

The response from the Get Webhooks endpoint returns a JSON object containing one or more webhook configurations. Each item may include:

  • id: Unique identifier for the webhook.
  • team_id: The ClickUp workspace the webhook is associated with.
  • endpoint: The URL where ClickUp sends webhook events.
  • events: The list of event types that trigger the webhook.
  • status: Indicates whether the webhook is active or disabled.
  • created_at: Timestamp of when the webhook was created.

Use this information to verify that your webhooks are configured correctly and that endpoints and events match your integration requirements.

Filtering and Managing ClickUp Webhooks

The Get Webhooks endpoint is primarily used to read configurations. To manage webhooks more fully you would typically:

  • Create new webhooks using the corresponding Create Webhook endpoint.
  • Update or disable existing webhooks with other Webhooks API operations.
  • Delete webhooks that are no longer required to reduce unnecessary traffic.

Consult the Webhooks section of the ClickUp API reference to see all available endpoints related to webhook management.

Common Use Cases for the ClickUp Webhooks API

Retrieving webhook information with this endpoint supports several common scenarios:

  • Audit and compliance: Confirm which external systems receive data from your ClickUp workspace.
  • Debugging integrations: Check endpoints and events when troubleshooting missing or unexpected webhook calls.
  • Monitoring: Periodically fetch webhooks to ensure configuration has not drifted from your intended state.
  • Automation synchronization: Keep infrastructure-as-code or configuration files aligned with webhook definitions stored in ClickUp.

Best Practices for Working With ClickUp Webhooks

Apply the following guidelines when using the Webhooks API in production environments:

  • Secure endpoints: Ensure the URLs that receive events from ClickUp use HTTPS and validate incoming requests.
  • Rotate tokens: Regularly rotate your ClickUp API token and update any scripts or applications that depend on it.
  • Rate limiting awareness: Design integrations to handle possible rate limits and retry conditions gracefully.
  • Logging and monitoring: Log webhook configurations and responses so you can quickly troubleshoot issues.
