FAQs

Which ClickUp objects are supported? Tasks, lists, folders, and spaces are supported for triggers and actions.

Can I map custom task fields in actions? Yes, custom fields appear after loading a recent sample from the selected list.

How do I avoid Zap loops when using Task Changes? Add a filter to skip events updated by Zapier or flagged by a specific field.

Why doesn’t Task Changes fire for some edits? The trigger only watches selected lists and configured fields, so verify list scope and field options.
