Authorize Google access in ClickUp

Authorizing Google access in ClickUp ensures the Planner can securely read your tasks and calendar data so you can plan your work without leaving your workspace.

This guide walks you through each step of the authorization flow, explains what permissions are requested, and shows you how to review and manage access later.

Before you connect Google to ClickUp

Before you start the authorization process, make sure a few basic requirements are met. This helps prevent errors while you connect Google to ClickUp.

• You have an active Google account you can sign into.
• You can access your Google Calendar or Google Tasks, depending on what you plan to use with the Planner.
• Your browser allows pop-ups from the ClickUp domain so the Google consent screen can open.

If you run into issues during any of the steps below, confirm you are signed in to the correct Google account in the same browser where you are using ClickUp.

Start the Planner authorization in ClickUp

The Planner needs permission from Google before it can display your calendar or task data inside ClickUp. The process always starts from the Planner interface.

1. Open your workspace and navigate to the Planner area in ClickUp.

2. Select the option to connect or sync with Google. This might appear as a button or link labelled to connect Google services.

3. When prompted, choose the Google product you want the Planner to use, such as Google Calendar.

After you confirm the connection request in ClickUp, a Google consent screen opens in a new window or tab.

Use the Google consent screen with ClickUp

The Google consent screen is where you allow the Planner inside ClickUp to access specific data from your Google account.

Choose the correct Google account for ClickUp

1. In the Google consent window, select the Google account you want to connect to ClickUp.

2. If the correct account is not listed, click Use another account and sign in with the right credentials.

3. Confirm that the email shown matches the account that owns the calendars or tasks you want to manage through ClickUp.

Using the correct account is essential so the Planner can access the calendars and lists that matter for your work.

Review the Planner permissions for ClickUp

After selecting your account, Google displays the permissions the Planner in ClickUp is requesting. Carefully review them to understand what data is shared.

Typical permissions may include:

• View your calendars and calendar events.

• Create, update, or delete events on calendars you have permission to edit.

• View and manage your tasks lists if tasks are included in the integration.

The exact wording and scope of each permission is defined by Google and may change over time, but they all relate to allowing ClickUp to read and manage data needed by the Planner feature.

Allow access to Google for ClickUp

1. Scroll through the list of requested permissions until you reach the bottom.

2. If you agree with the access being requested, click Allow to grant the Planner in ClickUp permission to your Google data.

3. Wait for the consent window to close or redirect back. You may be taken back automatically to the Planner inside ClickUp.

Once you approve, Google records this decision so ClickUp can use the connection securely without asking you every time.

Confirm the Planner connection in ClickUp

After you approve the consent screen, return to your workspace and confirm the Planner has successfully connected to Google.

1. Open the Planner again in ClickUp if it does not appear automatically.

2. Check that your Google calendars, events, or tasks are now visible, depending on what you chose to sync.

3. Optionally, create a test event or task in ClickUp and make sure it appears in your Google account after a short delay.

If you do not see your data, refresh the page or re-open the Planner. If the issue continues, repeat the authorization steps and confirm you selected the correct Google account.

Manage or remove Google access for ClickUp

You can change or revoke the Planner’s access to your Google account at any time. Management happens from your Google account settings, not from ClickUp itself.

Review third-party access granted to ClickUp

1. Go to your Google Account settings in a browser.

2. Open the security or data and privacy section where third-party app access is listed.

3. Locate the entry that represents the Planner integration used by ClickUp.

4. Click the entry to review which permissions are currently active.

This page gives you an overview of exactly what information the Planner can access and manage through the integration with ClickUp.

Revoke Google permissions from ClickUp

1. In the same Google Account security area, select the Planner entry connected to ClickUp.

2. Choose the option to remove or revoke access.

3. Confirm the removal when Google asks for verification.

After you revoke access, the Planner in ClickUp can no longer read or update your Google data. To use the Planner again with Google services, you will need to repeat the authorization steps described earlier.

Troubleshooting Planner and ClickUp authorization

If you see errors or the Planner does not behave as expected after you connect Google to ClickUp, try the following checks.

• Browser pop-ups blocked: Make sure pop-ups and redirects are allowed for the ClickUp site so the Google consent screen can open.

• Wrong Google account: Log out of other Google accounts or use an incognito window, then restart the authorization so you can pick the correct account for ClickUp.

• Permissions not granted: If you clicked Deny or closed the consent screen too early, reopen the Planner in ClickUp and start the connection process again.

• Access revoked later: If you removed permissions from your Google account, the Planner in ClickUp loses access. Reconnect and approve the consent again to restore functionality.
