Clickups API has the option to send Markdown. (‘markdown_description’ instead of ‘description’)

how can i use this option in pipedream?

thanks

(also on a sidenote: how to make line breaks in a field between other variables?) thanks

Hi @arne,

To send Markdown using ClickUp’s API in Pipedream, you can use the markdown_description field when making an API request. Here’s an example Pipedream component that demonstrates how to send a Markdown description using ClickUp’s API:

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    clickup: {
      type: "app",
      app: "clickup",
    },
    listId: {
      type: "string",
      label: "List ID",
    },
    taskName: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Task Name",
    },
    markdownDescription: {
      type: "string",
      label: "Markdown Description",
    },
  },
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    const url = `https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/list/${this.listId}/task`;
    const data = {
      name: this.taskName,
      markdown_description: this.markdownDescription,
    };

    return await axios($, {
      method: "POST",
      url,
      headers: {
        Authorization: this.clickup.$auth.oauth_access_token,
      },
      data,
    });
  },
});

For line breaks between variables, you can use the newline character \n in your string. For example:

const variable1 = "Hello";
const variable2 = "World";
const stringWithLineBreaks = `${variable1}\n\n${variable2}`;

This will create a string with a line break between the two variables.
