What are you trying to achieve?

Hi all,
New here an looking for some information to better understand how things work and see if this tool is right for what I need. I want to create a workflow that triggers on demand using a webhook (ClickUp integration). Basically, every time taskA within a ClickUp list it’s updated, I want to call out to the webhook(point to my Make workflow) to start the automation. I will pass in the data from ClickUp into Make an then do some things, and then pass the data back into ClickUp to taskB. I know it works with my account since that’s what’s synced up between both apps.

My question is, if someone else updates taskA on Clickup but doesn’t have a Make account, will the automation still work? Does it require that everyone running an automation have a Make account? if not, can it be setup with one single Admin account as the owner of the workflows and have external users trigger it?

Steps taken so far

I have created the workflow and tested manually to verify functionality.

If you have the webhook created than anyone who updates the task in Clickup will trigger the webhook. so the answer to your question is Yes it will work no matter who makes the update in click up

Can I understand your flow. The way I would do this:

  1. Automation in Clickup - when taskA is updated (whatever your conditions are) then action call webhook.
  2. Have custom webhook in MAKE which you brought the URL to in click up automations run the MAKE scenario.
  3. Update your task as needed and pass the data in taskB

Thanks for confirming. What you describe is basically the setup I have - a ClickUp automation to trigger the Make workflow using a webhook.

Perfect that’s how I would do it. Sounds like a great automation!
