How to Test ClickUp Webhooks

ClickUp webhooks post task, list, and space events to your endpoint so external tools can react to workspace activity.

1. ClickUp Webhook Events

ClickUp can send the following webhook events to your endpoint:

taskCreated
taskUpdated
taskDeleted
taskStatusUpdated
taskAssigneeUpdated
taskCommentPosted
listCreated
goalCreated

2. Set Up a Test Endpoint with HookRay

Follow these steps to start receiving ClickUp webhooks for testing:

  1. Go to HookRay and click "Start Testing — Free" to get your unique webhook URL.
  2. Copy the URL (e.g., https://h.hookray.com/abc123).
  3. In your ClickUp dashboard, navigate to the webhook settings and paste the HookRay URL as your endpoint.
  4. Select the events you want to receive (see list above).
  5. Trigger a test event — HookRay will show the incoming webhook in real-time.

3. Sample ClickUp Webhook Payload

Here's an example of what a ClickUp webhook payload looks like:

payload.json
{
  "event": "taskStatusUpdated",
  "webhook_id": "wh_abc123xyz",
  "task_id": "task_xyz789",
  "history_items": [
    {
      "field": "status",
      "before": {
        "status": "in progress",
        "type": "custom"
      },
      "after": {
        "status": "complete",
        "type": "closed"
      }
    }
  ]
}

4. Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Webhook not arriving?

Check that your endpoint URL is correct and publicly accessible. ClickUp cannot reach localhost URLs — use HookRay's cloud URL instead.

Getting 400 or 500 errors?

HookRay accepts any payload and returns 200 OK by default, so the issue is likely on ClickUp's side. Check your webhook configuration and event selection.

Need to verify webhook signatures?

ClickUp signs webhook requests for security. Use HookRay to capture the raw headers and body, then implement signature verification in your application code.

5. Next Steps

  • Use HookRay's webhook replay feature to re-send captured webhooks while building your handler
  • Enable smart parsing (Pro plan) to see ClickUp-specific fields highlighted automatically
  • Check the ClickUp webhook documentation for the complete event reference
