Front integration with ClickUp

The Front integration with ClickUp lets your team turn emails into trackable work, sync task details, and manage collaboration without leaving your inbox. This step-by-step guide explains how to set up the connection, use it efficiently, and troubleshoot common issues so your workflows stay organized and visible.

Below, you will learn how to connect your account, create tasks from messages, open existing items, and customize settings to make the integration fit your team.

Overview of the Front and ClickUp integration

The Front and ClickUp integration connects your shared or individual inboxes directly to your tasks, so important conversations never get lost. Support, sales, and operations teams can quickly convert email threads into actionable items and keep their status updated in one place.

Once configured, the integration helps you:

• Create tasks from any Front conversation with key details already filled in.
• Attach existing tasks to conversations to keep context.
• Open tasks in the web app without searching manually.
• Keep team members aligned on priorities and ownership.

This guide is based on the official product documentation, which you can review anytime on the Front integration help page.

Requirements before you connect ClickUp

Before setting up the integration, confirm that your workspace and Front account meet the basic requirements.

• Access to a ClickUp Workspace where you can add or authorize apps.
• A Front account with permission to install integrations.
• Browser access to both tools so you can complete the authorization flow.

If you manage multiple workspaces, make sure you are logged into the correct ClickUp Workspace before starting the connection from Front.

How to install the Front integration for ClickUp

Installation is handled from the Front interface. During the process, you will grant Front permission to access your ClickUp account so it can create and manage tasks on your behalf.

Step 1: Open the integration gallery in Front

1. Sign in to your Front account.
2. Navigate to the settings or integrations section, depending on your Front plan and user role.
3. Open the integrations or app gallery and locate the entry for ClickUp.

If you cannot locate the app, ask a Front admin to confirm that third-party integrations are enabled for your account.

Step 2: Connect Front to ClickUp

1. Click the option to install or enable the ClickUp integration in Front.
2. A new window or tab opens, prompting you to sign into ClickUp if you are not already logged in.
3. Review the requested permissions, which typically include the ability to view and create tasks and related data in your workspace.
4. Select the correct Workspace if you belong to more than one.
5. Click the authorization button to approve the connection.

After authorization, you are redirected back to Front. The integration panel should now be available in your conversation view.

Step 3: Configure basic integration options

Once the connection between Front and ClickUp is active, configure how the integration behaves so it aligns with your team’s workflow.

• Choose which workspace you want to use if a selection is shown.
• Confirm default spaces, folders, or lists if those settings are offered in your Front environment.
• Decide who can create and link tasks from Front conversations.

Configuration options can vary depending on your version of Front, but the overall flow remains the same: select the ClickUp Workspace and confirm the default behavior for new tasks and links.

Using ClickUp inside Front conversations

With installation complete, you can use the ClickUp panel in Front to create and manage tasks directly while replying to emails or messages.

Create a new ClickUp task from a message

To convert a conversation into trackable work:

1. Open the conversation in Front.
2. Locate the ClickUp panel or sidebar associated with the integration.
3. Click the option such as Create task or a similar button visible in the panel.
4. Choose the destination Space, Folder, or List for the new task.
5. Enter a task name that clearly describes the work.
6. Optionally, adjust the description, due date, assignee, priority, or custom fields if they are available through the panel.
7. Confirm to create the task.

The conversation is now linked to the task, so teammates using ClickUp can see the details and follow up appropriately.

Attach an existing ClickUp task

Sometimes a new message relates to work that already exists. Instead of creating duplicate items, link the conversation to an existing task.

1. Open the relevant conversation in Front.
2. In the ClickUp panel, use the search field to find a task by name or ID.
3. Select the correct task from the results.
4. Attach the task to the conversation.

With the link established, your team can open the task directly from Front and maintain a single source of truth for every issue or request.

Open tasks in ClickUp from Front

Whenever you see a task listed in the integration panel, you can open it for more detail.

1. In the Front conversation, locate the linked task in the ClickUp panel.
2. Click the task name or open icon.
3. The full task opens in a browser tab, where you can add comments, change status, or update fields.

This keeps your email replies and task management closely connected, reducing context switching and missed updates.

Best practices for managing work with ClickUp and Front

To get reliable results from the integration, standardize how your team uses the tools together.

• Define clear rules: Decide when a conversation must be turned into a task and when a quick reply is enough.
• Use consistent naming: Align task names and email subject lines so items are easy to find across ClickUp and Front.
• Assign ownership: Always assign a responsible user in the task when you create it from Front.
• Update statuses: Encourage your team to keep task statuses current so linked conversations reflect reality.

For broader workflow and integration strategy beyond this feature, you can review additional guidance from specialized consultants like Consultevo, who focus on process design and tool optimization.

Troubleshooting the ClickUp integration with Front

If the ClickUp panel is missing or actions fail, a few quick checks usually resolve the problem.

Check your ClickUp permissions

• Confirm that you still have access to the Workspace selected during setup.
• Verify you can create tasks manually in ClickUp from the web app.
• Ask a Workspace owner to review any permission changes that may affect the integration.

Reconnect or reauthorize the integration

Sometimes tokens or permissions expire and need to be refreshed.

1. In Front, return to the integrations or apps settings.
2. Locate the ClickUp integration and check its status.
3. If available, use the option to reconnect or reauthorize.
4. Sign into ClickUp again and approve permissions when prompted.

Confirm Front configuration

• Ensure the integration is enabled for the specific inbox or workspace you are using.
• Check that you are viewing a conversation type supported by the integration.
• Ask a Front admin if any changes were made to global integration policies.

If issues persist, consult both products’ help resources, starting with the official ClickUp Front integration documentation and Front support articles.

Next steps for your ClickUp and Front workflow

Once the integration is running smoothly, continue refining how your team uses ClickUp and Front together. Monitor which conversations most often become tasks, look for repeated issues, and adjust your processes to reduce manual work. By consistently linking conversations to tasks, your team gains full visibility into customer requests, internal follow-ups, and long-running projects from one connected system.
