Import Wrike projects to ClickUp

Moving your workspace from Wrike to ClickUp is simple when you use the built-in import tool. This how-to guide walks you through every step so you can bring your existing work into ClickUp quickly and safely.

Before you start, review the requirements, supported items, and limitations so your import from Wrike to ClickUp goes smoothly.

What you can import from Wrike to ClickUp

The Wrike import tool helps you move core project data into ClickUp while maintaining structure and essential details.

Wrike data imported into ClickUp

When you import from Wrike, the following information can be created or mapped in ClickUp:

• Folders
• Projects
• Tasks
• Subtasks
• Comments
• Custom fields
• Assignees
• Due dates
• Start dates
• Statuses (mapped to ClickUp statuses)

The import process creates new Spaces, Folders, and Lists in ClickUp based on the Wrike hierarchy you select.

Wrike items not imported into ClickUp

Some Wrike data is not supported by the ClickUp import tool. These items will not be transferred automatically:

• Time logs or time tracking entries
• Dashboards and analytics reports
• Workload views and resource management settings
• File versions and some attachment metadata
• Account-level settings and user groups

You can manually recreate these elements in ClickUp after your primary project data is imported.

Requirements to import Wrike into ClickUp

Make sure you meet these basic requirements before starting your import.

Access and permission requirements in Wrike

• You must be able to log in to your Wrike account.
• You need access to the Folders, Projects, and Spaces you want to import.
• You should have permission to read task details and comments.

Requirements in ClickUp

• A ClickUp Workspace where you have permission to use the import tool.
• Owner or admin permissions are recommended so you can create Spaces and Lists.
• Enough available members or guests to match your Wrike user assignments, if desired.

If you are planning a large migration, consider testing with a small Wrike Space first to confirm how your data appears in ClickUp.

How to start the Wrike to ClickUp import

You can launch the import tool directly from within your ClickUp Workspace settings. The process is guided and only takes a few minutes to configure.

Step 1: Open the import tool in ClickUp

1. Log in to your ClickUp Workspace.
2. Open your Workspace or profile settings.
3. Look for the option labeled Import or Import data.
4. Select the Wrike import option from the list of available import sources.

This opens the Wrike importer screen inside ClickUp.

Step 2: Connect your Wrike account to ClickUp

1. Click the button to connect or authorize Wrike.
2. You will be redirected to a Wrike login or authorization page.
3. Sign in with your Wrike credentials if prompted.
4. Grant ClickUp permission to read your Wrike data so it can import projects and tasks.

After authorization, you are returned to ClickUp to select what you want to import.

Choose what to import into ClickUp

Once your accounts are connected, you can select specific Wrike items to bring into ClickUp. This helps you avoid importing unnecessary archives or test projects.

Step 3: Select Wrike spaces, folders, or projects

1. In the Wrike importer screen, review the list of available Spaces, Folders, and Projects.
2. Check the boxes next to each item you want to import into ClickUp.
3. Optionally, skip old or unused structures to keep your new ClickUp Workspace clean.

The tool will also show nested Folders and subprojects so you can control exactly what appears in ClickUp.

Step 4: Map structure to your ClickUp hierarchy

Wrike and ClickUp use slightly different levels of hierarchy. During the import, the tool will map Wrike items into ClickUp like this:

• Wrike Spaces or top-level Folders become ClickUp Spaces or Folders.
• Wrike Projects typically map to ClickUp Lists.
• Wrike tasks and subtasks become ClickUp tasks and subtasks.

Follow the prompts on-screen to confirm how each level should be created in ClickUp. In some cases you can choose an existing Space in ClickUp instead of creating a new one.

Configure additional options for ClickUp

Depending on your Wrike setup, you may see extra options during the import setup in ClickUp.

Step 5: Import assignees and custom fields

• Assignees: Decide whether to import task assignees. Wrike users may be matched to existing members in ClickUp based on email address.
• Custom fields: Choose to create matching custom fields in ClickUp when possible.
• Statuses: Review how Wrike statuses are mapped to ClickUp statuses within each Space or Folder.

If some Wrike users do not exist in your Workspace yet, you can invite them later in ClickUp.

Step 6: Review import summary

1. Check the summary of what will be imported into ClickUp.
2. Confirm the number of Folders, Lists, tasks, and subtasks being created.
3. Verify that the destination Spaces in ClickUp are correct.

When you are satisfied with the configuration, start the import.

Run and monitor your ClickUp import

After you start the import, ClickUp processes your Wrike data in the background.

Step 7: Start the import from Wrike

1. Click the button to begin importing from Wrike.
2. Stay logged in until you see confirmation that the import has started.
3. For very large Wrike accounts, the import may take some time to complete in ClickUp.

You can usually continue working in other areas of ClickUp while the import runs.

Step 8: Verify imported data in ClickUp

1. When the import finishes, open the new Space or Folders in ClickUp.
2. Confirm that your Lists, tasks, and subtasks appear as expected.
3. Check a sample of tasks to verify assignees, dates, comments, and custom fields.

If something does not look right, compare it to your original Wrike structure and make any needed adjustments directly in ClickUp.

Tips for a smoother Wrike to ClickUp migration

A few best practices can make your import easier to manage and maintain.

• Clean up Wrike first: Archive or delete unused Folders or Projects before importing to ClickUp.
• Test with a small import: Import one Wrike Space into a test Space in ClickUp to review the results.
• Plan your ClickUp hierarchy: Decide how you want Spaces, Folders, and Lists organized before running a full migration.
• Communicate with your team: Let users know when the import will happen and where to find their work in ClickUp.
