Update a ClickUp task's name, description or status

Automatically update a ClickUp task's name, description or status on app.clickup.com. Changes an existing ClickUp task's name, description or status, then reads the task back to confirm what actually changed. Values already matching are left alone. A rehearsal mode reports the current values and the change that would be made without altering anything.

Input

taskId required

The task's ClickUp id, as returned by the ClickUp task listing or by task creation.

name optional

New task name. Omit to leave it unchanged.

status optional

New status, given by the name the workspace uses for it, as the ClickUp task listing reports it (for example 'in progress'). Matching ignores case. A status the list does not offer is refused, and the available ones are named.

dry_run optional

Report the task's current values and the change that would be made, without altering anything. ClickUp saves a name or description as soon as the field loses focus, so this mode deliberately does not type into them; for a status it does check the requested one exists.

Default: false
description optional

New task description, replacing whatever is there. Plain text; line breaks become separate paragraphs. Omit to leave it unchanged.

workspaceId optional

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

Output

dryRun required
taskId required
changed required
workspaceId required
url optional
after optional
before optional
requested optional
accountUsed optional
alreadyMatched optional
verifiedOnPage optional
availableStatuses optional

Add a comment to a ClickUp task

Posts a comment on a ClickUp task and confirms it appears, returning the new comment's identifier. It reports whether the same text is already on the task, so a repeat does not quietly duplicate it. A rehearsal mode fills the comment box and stops before sending.
