Create a task in a ClickUp list

Automatically create a task in a ClickUp list on app.clickup.com. Adds a task with the given name to a ClickUp list and confirms it afterwards, reporting the new task's identifier and link. A rehearsal mode fills the task in without submitting it, so the inputs can be checked before anything is created. This version sets the name only; description, priority, assignee and due date are left at the list's defaults.

Input

name required

The task name.

listId required

Numeric ClickUp list id, as returned by the ClickUp list lookup.

dry_run optional

Rehearse without creating anything. The task form is opened and the name and description are filled in and read back, then the run stops on the step before the one that submits it, so nothing reaches the list.

Default: false
description optional

Optional task description. Plain text; line breaks become separate paragraphs. Written as pasted text, so a leading slash stays literal instead of opening ClickUp's command menu.

workspaceId optional

Numeric ClickUp workspace id. Supplying it skips a lookup step; omit it to let ClickUp resolve the default workspace.

created required
listName required
workspaceId required
url optional
taskId optional
formReady optional
accountUsed optional
alreadyPresent optional
verifiedOnPage optional
existingMatches optional
