How do I trigger when a new ClickUp task is created?

Short answer: In TinyCommand, add the ClickUp New Task trigger to a workflow and publish. It listens through a ClickUp webhook and fires your workflow within seconds of the event, with no polling and no code. Add a filter if you only want some events to start a run.

for the curious

You don’t need to read this. TinyCommand auto-maps every field into the visual picker so downstream nodes can pull values by clicking. We show it here for power users who want to know what’s on the wire.

{
  "event": "taskCreated",
  "task_id": "abc123",
  "webhook_id": "wh_1",
  "history_items": []
}

FAQ

Questions about New Task.

How does the New Task trigger work in ClickUp?

Fires when a new task is created in the selected ClickUp workspace. The webhook is registered automatically when the workflow is published. The standard inbound hook for routing, enrichment, and notification flows.

Is the New Task trigger real-time?

Yes. New Task uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in ClickUp.

What data does New Task return?

The full event payload from ClickUp. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter New Task so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need ClickUp admin permissions to use New Task?

For most ClickUp accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some ClickUp plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check ClickUp's docs if the trigger fails to register.
