ClickUp - Add Comment

↩ Part of the ClickUp integration.

Description

Adds a comment to a ClickUp task (POST /task/{task_id}/comment). It is the simplest way to leave an audit trail on the task: what the workflow did, what it found, or why it stopped — with the option of notifying everyone assigned.

The comment text accepts dynamic variables, so you can compose it from the output of earlier nodes.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Description
`credentials_id`	credentials	Yes	ClickUp credential
`task_id`	text	Yes	Task id
`comment_text`	textarea	Yes	Comment text
`notify_all`	text	No	`true` to notify all assignees

task_id and comment_text are resolved through dynamic variables ({{data.field}}). notify_all is sent as true only when its value is exactly true; otherwise it is sent as false.

Credentials

This node requires a ClickUp credential (service type clickup):

Field	Description
`token`	Personal API token from ClickUp → Settings → Apps → API Token

The comment is attributed to the ClickUp user who owns the token.

Output

ClickUp returns a small receipt for the comment, not the task:

{
  "data": {
    "id": "458",
    "hist_id": "26508",
    "date": 1786790123456
  },
  "_meta": {
    "moduleVersion": "1.0.0",
    "success": true,
    "id": "86a1b2c3d",
    "commentId": "458",
    "totalMs": 233
  }
}

_meta.id is the task, _meta.commentId is the comment — useful if you want to reference it later through the HTTP node.

Usage Example

Log a result

{
  "credentials_id": "clickup_ops",
  "task_id": "{{data.task_id}}",
  "comment_text": "Shipped with tracking {{data.tracking}}"
}

Report a failure and notify the team

{
  "credentials_id": "clickup_ops",
  "task_id": "{{data.task_id}}",
  "comment_text": "Could not invoice: {{data.error.message}}",
  "notify_all": "true"
}

Notes

If task_id or comment_text is empty, the node stops with a validation error and nothing is posted.
ClickUp renders Markdown in comments, so multi-line summaries and links display correctly.
notify_all sends a ClickUp notification to every assignee; leave it off for routine logging to avoid noise.
Comments cannot be edited or deleted by these nodes — post a new comment instead.
