Summary: We are requesting an API endpoint that allows us to retrieve all comments assigned to a specific user across tasks and lists, without the need to make thousands of requests manually. This feature is essential for businesses managing a large number of tasks and team members within ClickUp, where tracking assigned comments is a critical part of performance and task management.
Current Challenge: Currently, there is no direct way to retrieve comments assigned to a user. The existing workaround—making thousands of API requests to retrieve all tasks and filter comments—creates performance bottlenecks, is highly inefficient, and is not scalable for businesses managing large numbers of tasks. This approach not only consumes an excessive amount of resources but also introduces significant delays in retrieving the data.
We need a solution that allows us to:
  • Efficiently retrieve all comments assigned to a specific user without looping through thousands of tasks.
  • Have immediate access to this data for business-critical operations.
Proposed Solution: A new API endpoint that can:
  • Retrieve all comments assigned to a specific user across all tasks and lists within a space or workspace.
  • Allow for filtering by user ID or email to gather the assigned comments.
  • Ensure efficient data retrieval to avoid the need for making excessive requests or running into performance issues.
Why This Matters: This feature would eliminate the need for inefficient workarounds and provide a streamlined solution to track user-specific comments. It would save significant time and resources, allowing businesses to focus on performance management and improve task handling. Given that member resources are already available in ClickUp, the lack of an endpoint for assigned comments seems like an oversight, especially for larger teams managing numerous tasks.
Impact: This feature would benefit any organization using ClickUp at scale, enabling more efficient tracking of team performance and task management. By adding this endpoint, ClickUp could offer a much more robust and business-friendly API that better supports its users' needs without forcing reliance on third-party tools.
