How to Use ClickUp with Google Cloud Vertex AI Agents

This step-by-step guide explains how to integrate ClickUp with Google Cloud Vertex AI Agents so you can sync projects, spaces, lists, and tasks between the two platforms in real time.

Follow the instructions below to connect your workspace, adjust sync settings, and manage user access safely and efficiently.

What You Need Before Connecting ClickUp

Before you turn on the integration, make sure you have the right accounts and permissions in place for both tools.

• Access to a ClickUp Workspace where you can install apps.
• A Google Cloud project that can use Vertex AI Agents.
• Permission to authorize the connection between both platforms.

If you need implementation help or consulting around this setup, you can also work with a specialist partner such as Consultevo.

Connect Google Cloud Vertex AI Agents to ClickUp

Use the following steps to create the initial connection between Google Cloud and your workspace.

1. Open the integration page for Vertex AI Agents in your Google Cloud project.

2. Locate the connector for ClickUp inside the available data source or app connectors.

3. Click the option to connect or authorize the ClickUp integration.

4. When prompted, sign in to your ClickUp account if you are not already logged in.

5. Select the ClickUp Workspace you want Google Cloud Vertex AI Agents to access.

6. Review the requested permissions and confirm the authorization.

Once completed, your Google Cloud project can read and write data to the selected workspace according to the permissions that you granted.

Choose What ClickUp Data to Sync

After the basic connection is set up, decide how much project information you want to share between the systems.

ClickUp hierarchy options for sync

Within your workspace you can typically sync:

• Spaces – High-level containers for teams or departments.
• Folders – Optional layers that group lists by theme or project.
• Lists – Collections of tasks that represent a specific workflow or backlog.
• Tasks – Individual action items with assignees, statuses, and due dates.

Google Cloud Vertex AI Agents can use these hierarchy levels to organize knowledge, create tasks automatically, or update work items based on AI-driven actions.

Configure ClickUp scopes and filters

To avoid sharing unnecessary information, apply scopes or filters when configuring the connection.

• Include only the spaces that your agent should read from or write to.
• Exclude private lists that contain sensitive data not needed for automation.
• Limit write access if you only want the agent to read work items.
• Use project-specific lists so that experimentation stays in a safe area.

These settings help you control what the agent can see and change inside your workspace.

Enable Live Task Sync Between Vertex and ClickUp

Live synchronization keeps both systems aligned without manual updates.

Turn on live sync from Google Cloud

1. From the Vertex AI Agents interface, open the configuration for your ClickUp connector.

2. Look for options such as real-time sync, webhooks, or event streaming.

3. Enable the feature that listens to changes from ClickUp and pushes updates back.

4. Save the configuration so the agent starts reacting to new or updated tasks.

Once enabled, changes to tasks, statuses, or descriptions in one system can reflect in the other, depending on your chosen sync direction and rules.

Map task fields between ClickUp and Vertex

To maintain consistency, map the fields that matter most.

• Task name → title or summary field in Vertex AI Agents.
• Description → detailed content or long-form field.
• Status → state or workflow stage in the agent.
• Assignees → owners or responsible parties in your Google Cloud workflow.
• Due dates → deadlines used for scheduling or triggers.

Accurate field mapping ensures that the AI can understand and update your ClickUp tasks reliably.

Manage User Access and Permissions in ClickUp

Proper access management keeps your project data secure while allowing the AI to perform useful actions.

Assign roles for the integration user

Many teams use a dedicated integration user in ClickUp to represent Google Cloud Vertex AI Agents.

• Create or select a user account that will be associated with the connector.
• Give it access only to the spaces and lists that the agent needs.
• Avoid granting workspace-wide admin rights unless required for your use case.
• Regularly review permissions as your project structure evolves.

Control what the agent can change in ClickUp

Depending on your risk tolerance, you may want to:

• Allow read-only access for spaces where you only want the AI to observe or analyze work.
• Grant edit rights for experimental or automation-focused lists where the AI can add or update tasks.
• Restrict deletion permissions so automated actions never remove important data.

Combining role-based access in your workspace with fine-grained connector settings in Google Cloud gives you strong control over changes.

Test the ClickUp Integration with Vertex AI Agents

After configuration, verify that everything works as expected before rolling it out broadly.

1. Create a small test space or list in ClickUp dedicated to integration experiments.

2. Configure the connector to use this test area only.

3. Trigger the agent to create or update a task and confirm that the change appears in the workspace.

4. Update a task manually in ClickUp and verify that the change surfaces in Vertex AI Agents.

5. Check that statuses, assignees, and due dates are mapped correctly.

Once you are satisfied with the behavior, you can gradually expand the integration to more spaces and production projects.

Monitor and Maintain Your ClickUp Integration

Ongoing monitoring keeps your automation reliable and aligned with your evolving workflows.

• Review integration logs or event histories in Google Cloud for errors.
• Audit workspace access in ClickUp on a regular schedule.
• Update field mappings when you add new custom fields or statuses.
• Pause or limit access whenever you run large-scale workspace changes.

For complete and current reference information about this integration, including supported actions and limitations, see the official documentation at the ClickUp Vertex AI Agents integration page.

By following these steps, you can safely connect your ClickUp workspace to Google Cloud Vertex AI Agents, enable live task sync, and build AI-powered workflows that stay in sync with your project management data.
