How to Monitor ClickUp Webhook Health

Monitoring webhook health in ClickUp is essential when you rely on automated integrations and event-driven workflows. Using the Webhook Health endpoint, you can quickly see whether events are delivered successfully, diagnose issues, and keep your automations running reliably.

This step-by-step guide explains how to call the Webhook Health endpoint, read the response, and troubleshoot problems using data returned by the ClickUp API.

What Is ClickUp Webhook Health?

The Webhook Health endpoint is a read-only API resource that shows delivery results for a specific webhook. It helps you understand whether ClickUp events are reaching your destination URL and what might be causing failures.

When you query webhook health, the API returns:

  • A list of recent webhook deliveries
  • Status of delivery attempts with HTTP status codes
  • Counts of successes and failures
  • Timestamps for each delivery event

This information allows you to verify that your integration with ClickUp is stable and spot issues as soon as they occur.

Prerequisites for Using the ClickUp API

Before you can check webhook health, you must have a working API setup with ClickUp.

Required items

  • An active ClickUp workspace
  • A valid API token with access to the webhook
  • An existing webhook ID created via the API or ClickUp UI
  • A tool to send HTTP requests, such as cURL, Postman, or a backend service

Make sure you store your API token securely and never expose it in client-side code or public repositories.

ClickUp Webhook Health Endpoint Overview

The Webhook Health endpoint is a simple HTTP GET request that takes a webhook ID as a path parameter. You authenticate using your ClickUp API token in the request headers.

HTTP method and URL

The endpoint uses the GET method.

Base pattern:

  • GET /api/v2/webhook/<webhook_id>/health

Replace <webhook_id> with the actual identifier of the webhook you want to inspect.

Required headers

You must include two key headers to authenticate and format the request correctly:

  • Authorization: Your ClickUp API token
  • Content-Type: application/json

These headers tell the ClickUp API who you are and how to handle the request.

Step-by-Step: Check ClickUp Webhook Health

Follow these steps to retrieve the health status of a specific webhook.

1. Find your ClickUp webhook ID

You can obtain the webhook ID when you create a webhook through the API or when you list existing webhooks. Store this ID, as you must include it in the Webhook Health URL.

2. Build the Webhook Health request

Create a GET request using this structure:

GET https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/webhook/<webhook_id>/health
Authorization: <your_api_token>
Content-Type: application/json

Replace:

  • <webhook_id> with your actual webhook ID
  • <your_api_token> with a valid ClickUp API token

3. Send the request

Use your preferred tool to send the request:

  • cURL from the command line
  • Postman or another REST client
  • Your backend application using an HTTP library

Ensure network access to the ClickUp API endpoint is allowed from your environment.

4. Review the response

The API response includes detailed information about recent delivery attempts for the selected webhook. Examine each field to confirm that events from ClickUp are being sent and received correctly.

Understanding the ClickUp Webhook Health Response

The response body gives insight into how your webhook is performing. While field names may vary, the response commonly includes data like:

  • Delivery entries: Each entry represents an attempt to send an event to your endpoint.
  • HTTP status codes: Show whether your server returned success (2xx) or an error (4xx or 5xx).
  • Timestamps: Help you correlate deliveries with logs on your side.
  • Error information: Indicates why a specific delivery failed.

By combining this data with your own server logs, you can trace exactly what happened when ClickUp attempted to send a webhook event.

Troubleshooting Webhooks in ClickUp

If the Webhook Health response indicates frequent failures or missing deliveries, use a structured troubleshooting workflow.

1. Check HTTP status codes

Look at the status codes reported in the health data:

  • 2xx codes: Indicate successful delivery from ClickUp to your endpoint.
  • 4xx codes: Usually show configuration or authentication issues on your server.
  • 5xx codes: Suggest that your server encountered an internal error during processing.

2. Confirm your endpoint URL

Ensure that the webhook target URL configured in ClickUp is correct:

  • No typos in the URL
  • Correct protocol (https:// recommended)
  • Publicly accessible endpoint if hosted behind firewalls or VPNs

3. Validate authentication and security

If your server expects authentication headers, signatures, or tokens, make sure it accepts the requests sent from ClickUp. Misconfigured security checks can cause repeated 4xx or 5xx responses.

4. Monitor performance and timeouts

Your endpoint must respond quickly enough for webhook delivery to succeed. If processing is slow, consider:

  • Queueing work asynchronously after receiving the event
  • Returning a fast 2xx response to ClickUp
  • Logging the event for later processing

Best Practices for Stable ClickUp Webhooks

To keep your automations reliable, follow these recommended practices when working with webhooks from ClickUp.

Use robust logging

Log each webhook request with:

  • Timestamps
  • Request headers (excluding sensitive data)
  • Relevant payload fields
  • Response codes from your application

This makes it easier to align your logs with Webhook Health data from ClickUp.

Implement retries on your side

If your internal services sometimes fail, design your system to retry processing rather than relying only on the initial webhook attempt. Combine your retry logic with the health information coming from ClickUp for a complete picture.

Regularly review webhook health

Schedule periodic checks of the Webhook Health endpoint to detect issues before they impact users. You can also integrate health checks into your monitoring or alerting tools.
