Create a ClickUp task webhook Automation

A task webhook Automation in ClickUp lets you instantly send task data to another app or custom endpoint whenever specific task events occur. This guide explains how to set up, edit, and manage a task webhook Automation step by step.

What a ClickUp task webhook can do

A task webhook Automation listens for changes in your Workspace and posts task data to a URL you choose. This is useful when you want to keep external tools synchronized without manual updates.

With a task webhook you can, for example:

  • Send every new task to your internal system for processing.
  • Notify a custom dashboard when task statuses change.
  • Trigger scripts or low-code workflows when tasks are updated.

Each time the Automation runs, ClickUp sends a payload containing task details to your chosen webhook URL.

Prerequisites for using a ClickUp webhook Automation

Before creating a task webhook Automation, make sure you have:

  • Access to a Workspace where Automations are enabled.
  • Permission to edit Automations at the Space, Folder, or List level.
  • A target URL that can receive HTTP requests.

Your endpoint should be ready to accept incoming data so you can test the webhook as soon as you create it.

How to create a ClickUp task webhook Automation

Follow these steps to set up a new task webhook Automation in ClickUp.

Step 1: Open the ClickUp Automations menu

  1. Navigate to the Space, Folder, or List where you want the Automation to run.
  2. Open the Automations menu from the toolbar or settings panel.
  3. Select the option to create a new Automation.

Automations created at a higher hierarchy level can apply to all items nested beneath that level.

Step 2: Choose the ClickUp trigger and location

Next, define when the webhook should run.

  1. Select a task-based trigger such as:
    • Task created.
    • Task updated.
    • Task moved.
    • Task status changed.
  2. Optionally refine the trigger using filters, for example by status, assignee, or priority.
  3. Confirm the Location if prompted to ensure the Automation only runs where you expect.

Using precise triggers helps you avoid sending unnecessary webhook calls from ClickUp.

Step 3: Add the webhook action in ClickUp

Once the trigger is selected, you can configure the webhook action.

  1. In the Automation builder, add an action.
  2. Choose the Webhook action type.
  3. Enter the endpoint URL where ClickUp should send the data.

The system will send task information to this URL every time the trigger conditions are met.

Step 4: Configure webhook options

Depending on the configuration options available for task webhooks in your Workspace, you may be able to:

  • Select which fields from the task payload are required by your endpoint.
  • Choose the HTTP method used for the webhook request.
  • Add optional headers if your receiving service needs authentication or custom metadata.

Save your changes when you are finished configuring the webhook action.

Editing a ClickUp task webhook Automation

You can modify a task webhook Automation at any time if your process changes.

  1. Open the Automations menu at the relevant Space, Folder, or List level.
  2. Find your existing task webhook Automation in the list.
  3. Click to edit the Automation.
  4. Update the trigger, filters, or webhook action details as needed.
  5. Save the Automation to apply your changes.

Editing allows you to change the webhook URL or adjust the trigger conditions without recreating the Automation from scratch.

Testing your ClickUp webhook Automation

After setting up the Automation, test it to verify that your endpoint receives data as expected.

  1. Perform the action that matches your trigger, such as creating or updating a task.
  2. Check your receiving service or logs to confirm that a webhook request arrived.
  3. Review the payload to ensure the necessary task fields are included.

If the webhook does not appear, double-check the Automation status, trigger configuration, and endpoint URL inside ClickUp.

Managing and disabling ClickUp task webhooks

As your Workspace evolves, you may need to pause or remove a task webhook Automation.

  • Disable an Automation: Turn off the Automation from the Automations list to temporarily stop sending webhooks.
  • Delete an Automation: Remove it entirely when the integration is no longer needed.
  • Reorder or organize: Adjust your Automations list so that related task webhooks are easy to find and maintain.

Regularly review your Automations to keep webhook usage aligned with your current workflows.

Troubleshooting ClickUp task webhooks

If your endpoint is not receiving data from ClickUp, consider the following checks:

  • Confirm the webhook Automation is turned on.
  • Verify that the trigger conditions are being met by your test tasks.
  • Make sure the webhook URL is correct and accessible from the internet.
  • Check error logs on the receiving system for blocked or invalid requests.

If problems persist, compare your setup with the official documentation for task webhooks.
