Slack integration with ClickUp

The Slack integration for ClickUp lets your team create, update, and track tasks directly from Slack while keeping all conversations connected to your work in ClickUp.

This how-to guide walks you through connecting the two platforms, sending information between them, and managing notifications so your workspace stays organized.

Overview of the ClickUp and Slack integration

When you connect Slack to ClickUp, you can streamline collaboration and reduce manual copying between tools. The integration helps teams move from conversation to action in just a few clicks.

With this integration you can:

• Create and manage tasks from Slack messages.
• Receive notifications from ClickUp inside Slack.
• Share task previews and links in Slack channels or direct messages.
• Use message shortcuts and slash commands to automate routine actions.

You will need a Slack workspace and a ClickUp Workspace where you have the proper permissions to authorize apps.

How to connect Slack with ClickUp

Start by installing and authorizing the Slack app inside ClickUp so the two platforms can communicate securely.

Step 1: Open the integration settings in ClickUp

1. Sign in to your ClickUp account.
2. Open the Workspace where you want to use Slack.
3. Navigate to the settings or integrations area of your Workspace.
4. Locate the Slack integration option.

From here, you can begin the connection flow between Slack and ClickUp.

Step 2: Install the Slack app for ClickUp

1. Click the option to connect or install Slack.
2. You will be redirected to Slack’s authorization page.
3. Select the correct Slack workspace if prompted.
4. Review the permissions requested for the ClickUp app.
5. Click Allow to approve and install the Slack app.

After authorization, Slack and ClickUp are connected and ready to share information based on your chosen settings.

Configure ClickUp notifications in Slack

Once the connection is set up, choose which ClickUp notifications should appear in Slack so your team only sees what is relevant.

Enable Workspace notifications from ClickUp

1. In ClickUp, return to the Slack integration settings.
2. Select which Spaces, Folders, or Lists can send updates to Slack.
3. Choose notification types such as new tasks, status changes, comments, or assignments.
4. Save your preferences to activate notifications.

Team members will now see selected updates from ClickUp inside the designated Slack channels or direct messages.

Route ClickUp updates into Slack channels

You can set specific ClickUp locations to send information into specific Slack channels. For example, all updates from a project List can appear in a dedicated project channel.

1. In the Slack integration panel in ClickUp, locate the option to connect a Space, Folder, or List to Slack.
2. Pick the ClickUp location you want to track.
3. Choose the Slack channel where messages should be posted.
4. Confirm your selections and save.

This routing keeps conversations in Slack aligned with the right work in ClickUp.

Create tasks in ClickUp from Slack messages

A key benefit of the integration is the ability to turn Slack conversations into actionable work items inside ClickUp without leaving your chat.

Use message actions to create ClickUp tasks

1. In Slack, hover over the message you want to turn into a task.
2. Open the message actions menu (typically the three dots icon).
3. Select the option related to creating a task in ClickUp.
4. If prompted, log in to ClickUp and confirm your Workspace.
5. Fill in task details such as name, description, List location, assignee, and due date.
6. Click Create to add the new task to ClickUp.

The message content is attached to the task so context from Slack is preserved inside ClickUp.

Share existing ClickUp tasks into Slack

You can also send task information from ClickUp into Slack to update teammates or start a new conversation.

1. Open the task in ClickUp that you want to share.
2. Copy the task link from the URL bar or through the share menu.
3. Paste the link into a Slack channel or direct message.
4. Slack will display a task preview so others can quickly see key details.

This keeps everyone aligned on current work while continuing to manage tasks in ClickUp.

Manage ClickUp notifications per user in Slack

Team members can personalize how they receive updates from ClickUp so important alerts appear where they are most likely to see them.

Adjust personal notification settings for ClickUp

1. Open your profile or notification settings in ClickUp.
2. Locate Slack-related notification options.
3. Choose which actions should trigger direct messages or channel posts in Slack.
4. Disable any alerts that are not helpful to reduce noise.
5. Save changes to apply your preferences.

By tailoring settings this way, each user can decide how closely ClickUp and Slack should work together for their own workflow.

You may need to modify or disconnect the integration if your Workspace changes, if you join a new Slack workspace, or if you want to stop notifications from ClickUp.
