I’m experiencing a critical issue with the ClickUp Trigger node in n8n that prevents me from activating workflows reliably.
Problem:The ClickUp Trigger works correctly for the first 2-3 test executions, but then consistently fails with the error:
Problem running workflow
Bad request - Webhook configuration already exists
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new ClickUp Trigger node with event “task.updated” and List ID filter
2. Configure trigger with Team ID and credentials
3. Execute workflow 2-3 times successfully
4. On subsequent executions or when trying to activate the workflow, the error appears
5. The workflow cannot be activated or used anymore
What I’ve tried:
• ClickUp App Authentication: Created a dedicated ClickUp OAuth app and connected through the app credentials - same issue occurs
• API Key Authentication: Deleted all app connections and used direct API key authentication - same issue persists
• Manual webhook cleanup: Deleted all webhooks from ClickUp Settings → Integrations → Webhooks section
• Node recreation: Completely deleted and recreated the ClickUp Trigger node multiple times
• Workflow deactivation: Deactivated workflow, waited, cleaned webhooks, reactivated - issue returns after 2-3 executions
Expected behavior:The ClickUp Trigger should create and manage webhooks reliably without duplication errors, allowing workflows to remain active indefinitely.
Actual behavior:After 2-3 successful test executions, n8n attempts to register a webhook that ClickUp reports as already existing, even though:
• No duplicate webhooks are visible in ClickUp UI
• All webhooks have been manually deleted
• Using fresh API credentials
