Connect Apps to ClickUp

Connecting apps to ClickUp lets your team bring external tools into one unified Workspace, so you can streamline workflows, automate tasks, and centralize important information without switching between platforms.

This guide explains how to open the Apps Center, connect and reconnect apps, understand what access you are granting, and manage common issues that can appear when integrating other services with your Workspace.

Understand the ClickUp Apps Center

The Apps Center is the hub where you can discover, connect, and manage third-party apps that work with your Workspace. Each connected tool can extend what ClickUp can do by sharing data, automating actions, or embedding information from other services.

Before you connect anything, it helps to understand that each app integration is governed by its own permissions. When you connect an app, you authorize specific access between that service and your Workspace. The exact data that can be shared or modified depends on the integration’s design and the permissions you approve.

How to open the ClickUp Apps Center

You can open the Apps Center directly from the main interface. Once there, you can browse available integrations, review connection status, and adjust settings for each app.

1. Sign in to your Workspace.

2. Locate the navigation area where integrations and apps are managed.

3. Open the Apps Center to see a list of available services you can connect to ClickUp.

Inside the Apps Center, each listing includes key information such as a short description, provider name, and a button or link to initiate the connection flow.

How to connect an app to ClickUp

Once you have opened the Apps Center, you can start the connection process for any supported service. Each integration may look slightly different, but the overall steps are similar.

Step-by-step: connect an app in ClickUp

1. In the Apps Center, find the app you want to connect. You can scroll through the list or search by name if that option is available.

2. Select the app to open its integration details page. Here you may see an overview of what the integration does and what permissions it requires.

3. Click the button or link to connect the app. This typically starts an authorization flow handled either inside the Workspace or on an external website owned by the app provider.

4. If redirected, sign in to your account for that app. Use the correct profile, especially if you manage multiple accounts for the same service.

5. Review the permissions requested. These define what data the app can access or change. Confirm only if you are comfortable with the scope being requested.

6. Approve the connection to complete the setup. After approval, you will be returned to the Apps Center or to a confirmation page inside ClickUp.

Once connected, the app should appear as active in your Apps Center, and you can begin using its features according to the integration’s capabilities.

Review the permissions you grant in ClickUp

Every time you connect an app, you grant it specific access to data or actions in your Workspace. Typical permissions may include:

• Reading tasks, lists, or Spaces.

• Creating or updating tasks and comments.

• Accessing your profile information.

• Connecting to files, attachments, or messages that relate to your work.

Carefully review the permissions screen during setup. If you do not agree with the requested access, you should cancel the connection and look for an alternative integration or a different way to achieve your workflow.

Manage connected apps in ClickUp

After connecting services, you may need to adjust settings, disconnect apps, or reconnect them if something changes with your external accounts. The Apps Center gives you visibility into which tools are active and lets you manage their access.

View and adjust ClickUp app connections

1. Open the Apps Center from your Workspace.

2. Locate the app under the connected or installed section.

3. Select the app to view its current status, configuration options, or any additional settings it offers.

4. Make adjustments as needed, such as changing which Spaces, Folders, or Lists the integration can access, if those options are provided.

Some apps have granular controls available within their own configuration pages, while others rely entirely on the initial permissions granted during setup.

Disconnect or revoke an app

If you no longer use an integration or want to stop sharing data, you should disconnect it. The steps usually look like this:

1. Return to the Apps Center.

2. Open the app you want to remove.

3. Choose the option to disconnect, uninstall, or revoke access.

4. Confirm that you want to end the connection.

Disconnecting an integration stops new data from flowing between the external service and your Workspace. Existing data, such as tasks or comments created by the integration, generally remains unless you manually remove it.

Troubleshoot ClickUp app connection issues

Sometimes an app may fail to connect, lose connection, or behave unexpectedly. Many integration issues arise from account changes, permission updates, or service outages on the provider side.

Common problems when connecting apps to ClickUp

• Authorization fails because login credentials for the external app are incorrect or outdated.

• The account used lacks the required role or permissions to authorize the integration.

• Browser issues, such as blocked pop-ups or strict privacy settings, interrupt the authorization flow.

• Changes in the external service’s API or security rules require a new authentication step.

Steps to resolve connection errors

1. Check whether the external app is experiencing downtime or maintenance.

2. Confirm that your account for that app has permission to authorize integrations.

3. Clear your browser cache or try a different browser or incognito window.

4. Disconnect the app from the Apps Center, then reconnect it, carefully completing each step.

5. Review any error messages displayed during authorization and follow the instructions provided.

If issues continue, consult help documentation for the specific integration or contact support for more detailed troubleshooting guidance.

Security and best practices for ClickUp integrations

When you connect third-party services to your Workspace, you should follow a few security and governance practices to keep data safe while still benefiting from integrations.

• Limit who can authorize new apps, especially in larger teams.

• Review connected integrations regularly and disconnect those that are no longer needed.

• Use strong, unique passwords and multi-factor authentication for the accounts used to authorize integrations.

• Document which apps are connected and why they are required for your workflows.

These practices help reduce risk while letting your organization take full advantage of automation and data sharing across tools.
