MX Lookup API + ClickUp Integration

Why connect them

The MX Lookup 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.

Create tasks automatically when external systems report issues

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 Look up MX records → update custom field

Look up MX records for task domains

When a ClickUp task is created with a domain, look up its MX records and update a custom field with the primary exchange hostname and priority.

Task status changed Look up MX records → comment if empty

Verify domains before outreach stage

When a task moves to your outreach stage, look up MX records for the domain. Add a comment if the mx array is empty.

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 MX Lookup 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 domain) 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/mxlookup 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.domain 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/mxlookup 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.domain }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
