I’m trying to automate renaming the tasks with some standard naming convention as they are created. I’m trying to use the ClickUp automation webhooks with Zapier integration.
I tested the ClickUp API with cURL to rename the task with the task_id. How do I automate this POST call with Zapier as I will not know the task_id?.
In short, how do I get the ClickUp task_id as they are created and pass the task_id to the POST call for renaming the task with the help of Zaiper?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @clickzap
Are you able to use ClickUp’s native automations to rename the Tasks?
The ID highlighted below is what should be mapped to the Zap step.
Call webhook
This lets you connect ClickUp with literally any application. Simply paste the URL you want called. When a task Triggers an Automation, we'll send task details in the webhook payload. This lets you easily access data from ClickUp Automations in your own application!
Note: The webhook endpoint provided must promptly resolve with a successful HTTP status code. If the timeout is exceeded on too many occurrences, the automation will be disabled.
Below is an example response with all the data available:
@Troy Tessalone Thanks for replying. Still not exactly sure how to configure at zap. Please look at this, what should I replace this {task_id} with?. This task_id will be generated once the ticket is created.
@clickzap
You need to map the CU Task ID from the trigger step to replace {task_id}
@Troy Tessalone - Yes, at the Zap trigger section, during test, it listed one of the available task_id. If I hard-code this task_id from the trigger in this action for PUT call, won’t it always rename the single task whenever the task is created at ClickUp?
@Troy Tessalone Thanks for sharing. I got the zap action success now every time I create a task in ClickUp and ClickUp seems to trigger the webhook link. But not sure why it’s not actually renaming the task. I see the same old task name which was used during task creation.
Here is the zap history,
This is how the Automation is in ClickUp,
I got it, it’s working now. It’s works with general PUT request but not with Custom Request which I was trying before.
