The Username Profanity API in ClickUp.

ClickUp is the all-in-one productivity platform. Integrating APIs with ClickUp enables automated task creation, intelligent project updates, and real-time data synchronization. Build workflows that keep your projects current.

What you can build

Workflows worth wiring.

Update task custom fields with data from external APIs

Generate project reports by aggregating data from multiple APIs

Sync task status with external project management systems

Templates

Ready-made ideas.

New task created Check username → update custom field

Check usernames on moderation tasks

When a moderation task is created in ClickUp with a username, check it for profanity and update a custom field with the isProfane result.

Task status changed Check username → comment if profane

Screen usernames before approval stage

When a task moves to the approval stage, check the username for profanity. Add a warning comment if isProfane returns true.

Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with ClickUp as the trigger app and "New task" as the event. Connect your account.
2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the Username Profanity API, and map your trigger data to the request.
3
Send it back. Add a second ClickUp action for "Create task" and map the returned fields (like username) into it.
4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.

Set up with Make

1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a ClickUp module set to "New task". Authenticate your account.
2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/usernameprofanity with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a ClickUp module for "Create task". Map fields like data.username into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.

Set up with n8n

1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a ClickUp trigger node for "New task" and connect your credentials.
2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/usernameprofanity using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
3
Map with expressions. Add a ClickUp node for "Create task" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.username }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
