Import Notion pages into ClickUp

The ClickUp import tool makes it easy to move your work from Notion so you can manage tasks, docs, and databases in one organized ClickUp Workspace. This guide explains requirements, access, supported data, and step-by-step instructions to complete a smooth import.

Before you start your ClickUp Notion import

Before importing from Notion into ClickUp, review the requirements and limitations so your content transfers as expected.

Requirements for using the ClickUp import

You must be a Workspace owner or admin in ClickUp to run imports.
You need a Notion account with access to the workspace and pages you want to import.
Browser access is required; imports are done from the ClickUp web or desktop app.

Data you can import into ClickUp

When using the native Notion importer, ClickUp can bring in the following types of content:

Notion pages and subpages
Databases and database items
Tasks and basic task details mapped into ClickUp tasks
Rich text, checklists, and some formatting elements

Certain advanced Notion blocks or custom setups may not transfer perfectly. After the import, you can refine content directly in ClickUp.

Limitations to keep in mind

While the ClickUp importer covers most common structures, keep these limitations in mind:

Some Notion-specific block types may convert to plain text or be skipped.
Very large workspaces can take longer to import.
Permissions in Notion do not automatically map to permissions in ClickUp; you must configure sharing and privacy after the import.

How to start a ClickUp import from Notion

The import experience is built directly into ClickUp so you do not need third-party migration tools for supported content.

Open the ClickUp import modal

Log in to your ClickUp Workspace using the web or desktop app.
Open the Workspace where you want your imported items to appear.
From the left sidebar, look for an option labeled Import or navigate to your Workspace settings and select the import feature.
In the import modal, choose Notion as the source platform you are importing from.

Connect Notion to ClickUp

After selecting Notion, ClickUp will redirect you to a Notion authorization screen.
Sign in to Notion if you are not already logged in.
Review the permissions requested so ClickUp can read the pages and databases you want to import.
Approve the connection to allow ClickUp to access your Notion workspace.

Once authorized, you will be redirected back to ClickUp to choose what content to bring over.

Select Notion content to import into ClickUp

After connecting Notion, you can choose specific pages and databases to migrate into ClickUp. This step gives you granular control over what is imported.

Choose pages and databases

In the import modal inside ClickUp, you will see a list of your accessible Notion workspaces, pages, and databases.
Expand a workspace or parent page to see nested pages and structures.
Use checkboxes to select the exact pages and databases you want to migrate.
Confirm your selection once you have chosen all relevant content.

Map Notion content to ClickUp locations

Next, choose how the Notion items will be organized inside ClickUp.

Select the target Space in ClickUp where the imported content should live.
Choose or create a Folder and List structure for the imported items.
Confirm how pages and database items map into ClickUp tasks or docs, depending on the options available in the import modal.

ClickUp will use your choices to create the folder hierarchy and organize tasks in a way that mirrors your Notion setup as closely as possible.

Run and monitor your ClickUp Notion import

Once your choices are set, you can start the import and track its progress directly inside ClickUp.

Start the ClickUp import

Review a summary of what will be imported from Notion into ClickUp.
Click the button to begin the import process.
Keep the browser tab open while ClickUp processes the data, especially for large workspaces.

The time required depends on the size and complexity of your Notion content. Smaller imports may finish in seconds, while large ones can take significantly longer.

Check progress and completion

ClickUp may display a status indicator while the import is running.
When the import finishes, you will see the new folders, lists, tasks, and docs in your chosen ClickUp Space.
Review a sample of imported items to confirm that data and structure look correct.

What to do in ClickUp after the Notion import

Once your Notion content is inside ClickUp, you can refine the structure, permissions, and views to match your team’s workflows.

Organize imported tasks and docs

Rename Spaces, Folders, and Lists created by the import to follow your naming conventions.
Move tasks between Lists or Folders inside ClickUp to better align with active projects.
Convert imported pages into ClickUp Docs or tasks where appropriate.

Set up permissions and sharing in ClickUp

Because permission models differ between platforms, always review access after the import.

Adjust Space, Folder, and List sharing to match how your team collaborates.
Update any sensitive items with the correct privacy settings.
Invite teammates to your ClickUp Workspace if they are not already members.

Enhance workflows with ClickUp features

After the import, take advantage of native ClickUp capabilities to get more value from your migrated content:

Create custom views such as Board, List, or Calendar based on imported tasks.
Add Custom Fields, priorities, and assignees to the items brought in from Notion.
Automate recurring steps with ClickUp Automations once your structure is in place.

Troubleshooting ClickUp imports from Notion

If something does not look right after the Notion import, there are several things you can check within ClickUp and Notion.

Common import issues

Missing pages or items: Confirm the pages were selected and that your Notion permissions allowed ClickUp to read them.
Unexpected formatting: Some complex blocks may be simplified or converted to plain text during migration.
Slow or stuck imports: Very large workspaces may take time; verify your internet connection and allow ClickUp to finish processing.

How to resolve problems

Try a smaller test import from Notion into a separate ClickUp Space to see how specific content types behave.
Re-run the import for missed pages, making sure they are selected and accessible.
Compare the original Notion content with the imported version and manually adjust key docs or tasks inside ClickUp if needed.

Next steps after importing into ClickUp

Once your migration is complete, focus on optimizing your new workspace so your team can fully adopt ClickUp.

Set up dashboards to monitor workloads and project status.
Configure notifications and inbox settings for your team.
Train teammates on how tasks, Docs, and views work inside ClickUp.
