How to Connect Google Cloud AI with ClickUp

Integrating Google Cloud Vertex AI with ClickUp lets you build secure, scalable AI workflows directly inside your workspace. This guide walks you through how to connect the tools, how AI Agents work, and how to manage data and permissions for your team.

What You Need Before Connecting Google Cloud to ClickUp

Before you create an integration, make sure your Google Cloud and ClickUp environments are ready.

Prerequisites for Google Cloud

• An active Google Cloud account.
• Access to Vertex AI in your Google Cloud project.
• Billing enabled for the project where you will host models.
• Permissions to create or manage service accounts and keys.

Prerequisites in ClickUp

• A ClickUp Workspace where you have admin or owner permissions.
• Access to the AI or automation features where you plan to use agents.
• Clear internal guidelines for data access and security.

If you need help planning workspace structure or processes around this integration, you can also consult an external expert such as Consultevo.

Understanding ClickUp AI Agents and Google Cloud

The integration between Google Cloud and ClickUp is powered by AI Agents. These agents combine Vertex AI models with the tasks, docs, and workflows in your workspace.

How ClickUp AI Agents Work

AI Agents operate as a secure bridge between your Google Cloud models and the data stored in ClickUp. They can:

• Read only the data that users are already allowed to access.
• Send relevant content to Vertex AI for processing.
• Return responses, summaries, or suggestions inside your workspace.
• Support workflow automation using natural language instructions.

Why Use Google Cloud with ClickUp

Connecting Google Cloud with ClickUp gives you:

• Enterprise-grade security and governance powered by Google Cloud.
• Scalable AI models that can handle large workloads.
• Centralized control over which models are used with workspace data.
• Flexible options to adapt models to your internal policies.

Step-by-Step: Connect Google Cloud Vertex AI to ClickUp

Use the following high-level steps to connect your Google Cloud models to your workspace. The exact naming of buttons or sections can vary as the platforms evolve, but the flow remains similar.

Step 1: Prepare a Vertex AI Model

1. Sign in to your Google Cloud Console.
2. Select or create the project that will host your model.
3. Enable the Vertex AI API if it is not already enabled.
4. Create or configure a model in Vertex AI that you will expose to ClickUp.
5. Confirm that the model is deployed and accessible through your chosen endpoint.

Keep track of your project ID, region, and model or endpoint details, as you will need them during the integration.

Step 2: Configure Secure Access from ClickUp

1. In Google Cloud, create or choose a service account that will be used for ClickUp.
2. Grant the service account the minimal roles required to access Vertex AI.
3. Create a secure key or connection method following your organization’s security policies.
4. Store credentials securely and restrict who can access them.

This account acts as the technical identity used when ClickUp calls Vertex AI on your behalf.

Step 3: Add the Google Cloud Integration in ClickUp

1. Open your ClickUp Workspace as an admin or owner.
2. Go to your workspace or organization settings and locate the integrations or AI settings section.
3. Choose the option to add or connect a Google Cloud or Vertex AI integration.
4. Provide the required project, region, and model details from Vertex AI.
5. Enter or upload the secure credentials you created for the service account.
6. Save and test the connection to confirm ClickUp can reach your model.

After the connection is verified, your workspace can begin using AI Agents powered by your Google Cloud models.

Configuring ClickUp AI Agents for Your Team

Once the integration is active, you configure AI Agents to define how they use your workspace data and Vertex AI.

Create and Customize Agents in ClickUp

1. In your ClickUp settings, open the section dedicated to AI or AI Agents.
2. Create a new agent and select your Google Cloud or Vertex AI connection as the model source.
3. Define what the agent is for, such as summarizing tasks, generating documentation, or assisting support teams.
4. Configure prompts, instructions, or any system messages that guide the agent’s behavior.
5. Choose where the agent is available in the workspace, such as tasks, docs, or chat views.

Each agent can be tailored for different teams or workflows, but all use the same secure integration to reach your Google Cloud models.

Set Permissions and Data Access in ClickUp

AI Agents only access data that users can already see in ClickUp. To keep information secure, you can:

• Use existing folder, list, and space permissions to limit task visibility.
• Restrict sensitive docs or fields if they should not be processed by AI.
• Adjust who can configure or modify AI Agents at the workspace level.

The combination of workspace permissions and Google Cloud controls helps maintain strict governance over how AI operates on your data.

Managing Security, Privacy, and Governance

Security is a core benefit of pairing Google Cloud with ClickUp. Both systems contribute to protecting your data.

Security Controls in Google Cloud

In Google Cloud, you manage:

• Identity and Access Management roles for the service account.
• Network restrictions, logging, and monitoring for Vertex AI usage.
• Regional and compliance requirements relevant to your industry.

Security and Governance in ClickUp

Within ClickUp, you manage:

• User and team permissions that control who sees specific tasks, docs, and fields.
• Workspace policies around AI usage and which projects are allowed to use AI Agents.
• Audit trails and activity logs that show how work items are updated.

By aligning policies between platforms, you can safely scale AI-powered work across your organization.

Best Practices for Using Google Cloud AI in ClickUp

To get the most out of the integration, follow these recommended practices.

• Start with a pilot team: Roll out the first AI Agent to a small group and refine prompts and permissions before scaling.
• Document your use cases: Capture how different departments use AI in ClickUp, such as project management, support, or documentation.
• Monitor usage and performance: Use logs in Google Cloud and workspace analytics in ClickUp to track adoption and outcomes.
• Review access regularly: Audit who can configure agents and which workspaces or spaces are connected to AI models.
• Iterate on prompts: Improve agent instructions based on user feedback to increase relevance and accuracy.

Next Steps

By integrating Google Cloud Vertex AI with ClickUp, you enable AI Agents that understand your work and operate within your existing permissions. Follow the setup steps, define clear governance, and iterate on your agents so teams can safely automate tasks, summarize information, and collaborate more efficiently.
