add_task_dependency

Establish task dependencies in ClickUp by linking two tasks to ensure one must be completed before the other starts. Specify either 'dependsOn' or 'dependencyOf' to define the relationship.

Instructions

Create a dependency relationship between two tasks. Use this to establish that one task must be completed before another can start. You must specify either 'dependsOn' (the task that must be completed first) or 'dependencyOf' (the task that's waiting for this task), but not both.

Input Schema

`customTaskIds`	No	Whether to use custom task IDs

`taskId`	Yes	ID of the task which is waiting on or blocking another task
`teamId`	No	Team ID (required when customTaskIds is true)
