Configuration

5 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.

FieldTypeRequiredDefaultConstraintsExample
task_id
The task id, e.g. '9hx' — the last segment of the task's URL.
stringYes———
include_subtasks
Include the task's subtasks in the response.
booleanNofalse——
include_markdown_description
Return the description as Markdown rather than plain text.
booleanNofalse——
custom_task_ids
Treat task_id as the Workspace's custom task id (e.g. 'ABC-123') rather than ClickUp's own id. team_id becomes required when this is on.
booleanNofalse——
team_id
The Workspace (team) id. Only needed — and then required — when custom_task_ids is on.
stringConditional—only with custom_task_ids—

Example configuration

Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.

  "include_markdown_description": false,
  "include_subtasks": false
}

Output

One shape.

See Get Task run in a workflow.

In a technical demo we add the ClickUp connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
