create_bulk_tasks

Create multiple related tasks in a ClickUp list at once. Input a list ID or name and an array of tasks to streamline batch task creation, reducing redundant lookups and manual effort.

Instructions

Create multiple tasks in a ClickUp list simultaneously. Use this tool when you need to add several related tasks in one operation. Before calling, check if you already have the necessary list ID from previous responses in the conversation, as this avoids redundant lookups. More efficient than creating tasks one by one for batch operations.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`listId`	No	ID of the list to create the tasks in (optional if using listName instead). If you have this ID from a previous response, use it directly rather than looking up by name.
`listName`	No	Name of the list to create the tasks in - will automatically find the list by name (optional if using listId instead). Only use this if you don't already have the list ID from previous responses.
`tasks`	Yes	Array of tasks to create (at least one task required)
