Create Channels in ClickUp on Mobile

The ClickUp mobile app makes it easy to create Channels so your team can organize conversations, collaborate faster, and keep work discussions tied to the right Spaces. This guide walks you through how to create a Channel, configure access, and manage settings directly from your phone.

What Channels in ClickUp Are Used For

Channels give you a focused place to post messages, share updates, and comment alongside tasks. Within the ClickUp mobile app, each Channel can be linked to a specific Space and tailored to the people who need access to those conversations.

Use Channels to:

• Separate discussions by project, client, or topic.
• Limit access to sensitive conversations.
• Keep urgent updates visible to the right people.
• Control who can post or react in busy threads.

Prerequisites for Creating ClickUp Channels

Before you can create a Channel in the ClickUp mobile app, make sure:

• You have the app installed on your iOS or Android device.
• You are logged in to the correct Workspace.
• You have permission to create Channels in the Space you plan to use.

If your team needs help planning an overall workspace structure, you can review additional resources and consulting services at Consultevo.

How to Create a Channel in ClickUp Mobile

Follow these steps to create a new Channel from the ClickUp mobile app. The exact labels may vary slightly by platform, but the flow is the same.

Step 1: Open the ClickUp mobile app

Start by opening the ClickUp mobile app on your device and confirming you are in the correct Workspace where you want to add the Channel.

Step 2: Navigate to the Channels area

From the main navigation, access the communication area where Channels are listed. On most devices, you will find Channels under the Inbox, Chats, or similar communication section inside ClickUp.

Once there, you should see existing Channels associated with your Spaces.

Step 3: Start a new ClickUp Channel

To create a new Channel:

1. Tap the option to add or create a new Channel. This may appear as a plus (+) icon or a “New Channel” button.
2. Select the Space that the new Channel should belong to, if prompted.

After choosing the Space, the app will open the Channel creation screen.

Step 4: Name your ClickUp Channel

Enter a clear, descriptive name so your team understands the purpose of the Channel at a glance. For example:

• “Marketing Launch Updates”
• “Client Support – Priority”
• “Engineering Standup”

You can also add an optional description to clarify what should be discussed in the Channel.

Step 5: Choose Channel access and visibility

On the Channel creation screen, you can choose who can see and use the new Channel in ClickUp:

• Public Channel: Accessible to everyone in the Space.
• Private Channel: Only visible to invited members and guests.

For private Channels, select the members, teams, or guests who should have access. This is useful for leadership discussions, HR topics, or sensitive client work.

Step 6: Configure posting and participation settings

Many Channels in ClickUp can be configured so that only certain people can post, while others can only react or view. Configure options such as:

• Who can start new threads or messages.
• Who can reply or add comments.
• Who can use reactions or emojis.

These settings help keep announcement Channels readable while still allowing feedback in the right places.

Step 7: Review and create the Channel

Before you create the Channel in ClickUp:

• Double-check the Channel name and description.
• Confirm the Space is correct.
• Review who has access and what they are allowed to do.

When everything looks good, tap the button to create or save the Channel. The new Channel will now appear in your Channel list on mobile.

Manage and Use Your New ClickUp Channel

Once the Channel is created, you can immediately start using it from the ClickUp mobile app.

Post your first message

Open the Channel and send a welcome or introduction message so members understand how the Channel should be used. You might include:

• The purpose of the Channel.
• Who should post and how often.
• Links to key Docs or Folders.

Invite more people to your ClickUp Channel

If you need to add additional members:

1. Open the Channel settings or info panel.
2. Use the option to add people, teams, or guests.
3. Confirm the access level for each new person.

These options allow you to adjust Channel visibility as your project grows.

Adjust Channel settings later

You can update Channel settings inside ClickUp at any time, including:

• Renaming the Channel.
• Changing the description.
• Switching between public and private visibility, where allowed.
• Updating who can post or comment.

Open the Channel options or settings menu to make and save your changes.
