Find Task URLs in ClickUp

In ClickUp, every task has its own unique URL that you can quickly find and share with teammates, clients, or stakeholders. Learning how to access these links makes it easier to collaborate, document work, and jump directly to the right task from other tools.

This guide explains each method you can use to locate and copy a task link so you can share work efficiently across your ClickUp Spaces, Folders, and Lists.

Understanding ClickUp task URLs

A task URL in ClickUp is a direct link that opens a specific task. Anyone with access and the right permissions can open that link and see the task details, comments, attachments, and activity.

Task URLs are useful for:

  • Sharing context in chat tools or email
  • Referencing work in docs, wikis, or knowledge bases
  • Linking related tasks together
  • Creating bookmarks to important items

The steps below show how to copy a task link from different places in the ClickUp interface.

How to copy a task URL in ClickUp from the task view

When you already have a task open, you can copy its link directly from the task view toolbar.

Steps to copy from the task toolbar in ClickUp

  1. Open the task you need to share.
  2. Look at the top of the task view for the toolbar.
  3. Click the three-dot menu (more options) on the right side of the toolbar.
  4. Select Copy link.
  5. The task URL is now copied to your clipboard and ready to paste anywhere.

This method is ideal when you are already viewing the full task details in ClickUp and want to quickly send a link to someone else.

How to copy a task URL in ClickUp from a List or Board view

You can also grab a task URL directly from views such as List or Board, without fully opening the task. This is helpful when you are scanning through many tasks and want to copy several links quickly.

Right-click to copy a task link in ClickUp

  1. Open the Space, Folder, or List that contains your task.
  2. Locate the task in any supported view, such as List view.
  3. Right-click the task name or row.
  4. In the context menu, choose Copy link.
  5. The task URL is copied to your clipboard.

This right-click option lets you stay in your current ClickUp view while still getting the URL you need.

Use the task’s quick action menu in ClickUp

  1. Hover over the task in your List or Board view.
  2. Look for the quick action icons or menu that appears.
  3. Open the more options menu if available.
  4. Select Copy link.
  5. Paste the task URL where you need it.

Using quick actions keeps your workflow fast and saves you from opening each task individually in ClickUp just to find the URL.

How to copy a task URL in ClickUp from search results

When you find a task using search, you can copy its URL without leaving the search panel. This helps when you know the task name or content, but not exactly where it lives.

Steps to copy from search in ClickUp

  1. Open the search feature from the sidebar or top bar.
  2. Type the task name or a keyword to locate it.
  3. In the search results, hover over the task.
  4. Open the options menu for that result.
  5. Select Copy link.
  6. The task URL is now copied to your clipboard.

This method is especially useful when working across multiple Spaces and you need a quick way to grab a direct link in ClickUp from anywhere.

How to open and test a ClickUp task URL

After you copy a link, you may want to confirm that it opens the correct task.

  1. Paste the URL into your browser’s address bar.
  2. Press Enter to open it.
  3. Sign in to ClickUp if prompted.
  4. Verify that the task details match the item you intended to share.

If someone else cannot open the task from your link, they may not have the required permissions or access to that Space or Folder in ClickUp.

Best practices for sharing ClickUp task URLs

To get the most out of task URLs, follow a few simple best practices across your ClickUp workspace.

Use ClickUp URLs in documentation and notes

Whenever you reference a task in internal documentation, comments, or meeting notes, include the task URL. This makes it easy for others to jump directly to the work item rather than searching manually.

  • Add task links to project briefs.
  • Include URLs in sprint planning notes.
  • Connect tasks to requirements or user stories.

Share ClickUp links with the right audience

Before you share a task URL, confirm that the recipients have access to the Space or List that contains the task. If they do not, adjust sharing settings or permissions so the link works as expected.

  • Check Space or Folder access for your team members.
  • Avoid sending links from private Spaces to people who are not invited.
  • Use ClickUp permissions to control who can view or edit the task.

Organize related work using ClickUp URLs

You can also place task URLs inside other tasks or in custom fields to create lightweight relationships between items.

  • Add links to related tasks in the description or comments.
  • Store reference URLs in a text custom field.
  • Use URLs to cross-reference tasks across Spaces.

This can help you build a connected system of work without duplicating information across your ClickUp workflows.

Troubleshooting ClickUp task URL issues

If a task URL does not behave as expected, review the following common issues.

Link opens the wrong item in ClickUp

  • Confirm that you copied the link from the correct task.
  • Make sure the browser did not truncate the URL when pasting.
  • Recopy the URL using one of the methods above and try again.

ClickUp link will not open for a teammate

  • Verify that the user has access to the Space or Folder.
  • Check whether the task is in a private List.
  • Ask the user to log in to ClickUp with the correct account.
