How do I specify an "Assignee" of a new Task in ClickUp

How To

Hello Make Community,

I am using the module: ClickUp > Create a Task (advanced)

One of the fields in that module is “Assignee”.
I have mapped this to a variable named “5. default_reviewer”.

This variable is defined with the name of one of my ClickUp users: John Smith

I can see on the input bundle it says:

* Assignees: (Array)
  * 1 John Smith

So, it appears to be fetching the correct value.

However, the ClickUp task is not getting assigned to that person.

In the ouput bundle, I can see it says:

* Assignees (Array)
empty

I’m thinking maybe the tasks cannot get assigned by “Name” since in the actual ClickUp interface it’s a drop-down menu.

I assume there’s a way to do this properly given that the module has an “Assignee” option… just can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve tried with different names as well, but no luck.

Any insight is appreciated and hopefully this helps others in the same situation as well.

Thanks!

Hey Robert,

it needs the Assignee ID, not the User Name. You can find it with a Get a Workspace module in the Members array.
