I have a node that creates a click up task and it is working fine
now I’m trying to do the opposite and find the task from its name
I expected this to give me everything but instead it gives me no output data at all
I also see there is no way to find a task by its name?
is there any way to make this useful
Hi @bally ,
Looking at your screenshot, I can see you’re trying to use ClickUp’s “Get Many” operation to retrieve tasks from a “Leads” list. The issue you’re experiencing (no output data) is likely due to how the “Return All” toggle works with filters.
The problem is that when “Return All” is enabled without proper filters, ClickUp may return an empty result set, especially if the API call times out or hits rate limits trying to fetch everything. Also, the “Leads” list might actually be empty - worth double-checking that it has tasks in it.
To make this useful, I’d suggest turning off “Return All” and adding some specific filters. Click “Add Filter” and add conditions like status (e.g., “Open”, “In Progress”), date range (tasks created/updated in last X days), assignee, or priority. This will give you a manageable subset of data rather than trying to pull everything at once.
Unfortunately, ClickUp’s “Get Many” doesn’t have a direct “search by name” filter in most automation tools. The workaround is to use “Get Many” to retrieve tasks with basic filters, then add a subsequent step in your automation to filter the results by task name using your tool’s built-in filter/condition logic.
I’d recommend trying this: turn off “Return All”, set it to return maybe 50-100 tasks, add a date filter for tasks updated in the last 30 days, and add a status filter to exclude completed/closed tasks. Test that and see if you get results.
These are my tasks:
I used this filter
I’m returning nothing, is this related to the other issues I’ve been having where basically I’m getting nothing in every single test I do?
is it due to the fact that this is called by another workflow? But I do have mock data at key points yet it is not working
