Dear developers,
We just launched a few APIs to address Folder and List creation via Templates.
Create List from Template
In Folder:
In Space:
Create Folder from Template
NOTE: Please fill out the required path params with an example value in the docs, to get the correct path. I'm working on a solution to fix this
Unfortunately we weren't able to get the Space creation via Template online at the same time. Please Upvote the following Canny Post if you need Space creation via Template.
PS: We also just launched a new developer portal. It allows you to copy you personal API key into the auth section and execute requests against your workspace right in the docs.

Philipp Berner amazing! Finally we can automate client folder creation :D

Philipp Berner That's great news 🎉 I only struggle to get the template IDs for the lists and folders.
It seems as if there's only a Get Task Templates endpoint: https://developer.clickup.com/reference/gettasktemplates
Edit: found a workaround: edit the name of the task while watching the requests in the browser console. The request to save the name will have the template ID starting with t- in the request URL.

Simon Mayerhofer or click the share button and enable public sharing to get the URL, the t-ID is in it. Took me a few tries to get it…

Philipp Berner I have an issue where I'm creating multiple list templates across different folders and when I go to check each of them, they all have random tasks that have missing fields/custom fields. Is it because I'm triggering the API too quickly? Do I need to set time between each call to ensure each list is created properly?
Edit: seems like adding a time delay between each requests fixed the issue
Philipp Berner
Tho Nguyen: Can you reach out to me via email (pberner@clickup.com).
I want to make sure I understand this better to update the docs.

On template IDs
I acknowledge that it's currently a pain to get to the template IDs.
The best way is to
- Open dev console with network logs
- Apply a template manually and look for the request. Template IDs start with t-
I'm working towards having the IDs exposed in the template center. Stay tuned

Philipp Berner Any update on this?

I have to second Patrice Gallion - this should be implemented asap
Patrice Gallion
Why is this still not happening?
Kevin Phelps
These are the kinds of Canny posts that should make people stay FAR away from Clickup. This company drives me nuts.
Dan Halsall
Please can we make this happen!

I'm not going to provide rationale for why this is needed because such is already sufficiently provided in this lenghty thread. What I do want to emphasize however is how puzzled I am by ClickUp Team not once responding to the clear callouts, it really wouldn't hurt to explain your view on things... Luci N., Brendan Boyle, Ivan Villa???
Josh Sorenson (VP of Systems)
This is a Feature in Zapier, so we know it exists.
Julius Förster
Any update on this Luci N. Brendan Boyle Ivan Villa?
It's been 5 years (considering the original post) with 0 feedback from the ClickUp team.
Disappointing!
