Track Time in ClickUp with Clockify

Integrating Clockify with ClickUp lets you track time directly from tasks, keep accurate work logs, and sync activity between tools without manual copying.

This guide explains how the Clockify and ClickUp connection works, how to enable and use it with the browser extension, and where to manage your time entries.

How the ClickUp Clockify integration works

The integration connects your ClickUp workspace with your Clockify workspace using the official Clockify browser extension. After it is enabled, you can start and stop timers or add time to tasks while you work.

Clockify then records those time entries and associates them with the related items from ClickUp, so you can report, review, and bill from one central place inside Clockify.

Main benefits of using Clockify with ClickUp

• Start a timer from any task in your ClickUp workspace.
• Log time manually if you prefer retroactive tracking.
• See which tasks and projects take the most time.
• Keep work logs consistent between ClickUp and Clockify.

Because the integration depends on the Clockify extension, you control tracking from your browser while you navigate your ClickUp tasks.

Before you can begin tracking, there are a few basic requirements. Make sure you have access and permissions in both systems and use a supported browser.

Browser and extension requirements

To connect Clockify and ClickUp, you need the Clockify time tracking extension installed in a supported browser. For details, visit the official integration documentation at this ClickUp Clockify help article.

Install the Clockify browser extension for ClickUp

The first practical step is adding the Clockify extension to your browser so it can detect and integrate with ClickUp pages.

1. Open your browser’s extension marketplace (for example, Chrome Web Store or the equivalent for your browser).

2. Search for “Clockify Time Tracker”.

3. Select the official Clockify extension from the results.

4. Click the option to add or install the extension.

5. Approve any permission prompts shown by the browser.

After installation, an icon for Clockify appears in your browser toolbar. This icon lets you open the extension panel, sign in, and configure integration settings that affect how time tracking works with ClickUp.

Connect Clockify with your ClickUp workspace

Once the extension is installed, you can connect it to your ClickUp account so timers show directly on tasks.

1. Click the Clockify icon in your browser toolbar.

2. Sign in with your Clockify account credentials if you are not already logged in.

3. Open ClickUp in a browser tab and log in to your ClickUp workspace.

4. Return to the Clockify extension panel and look for integration options.

5. Enable tracking for ClickUp so the extension can detect ClickUp task pages.

When the integration is active, you will see Clockify controls appear when you open tasks in ClickUp, allowing you to start or stop a timer right from the task view.

Use Clockify to track time on ClickUp tasks

After setup, you can track time from inside your task views while browsing your ClickUp Spaces and Lists. The extension reads task information and sends it as a time entry to Clockify.

Start a live timer from a ClickUp task

1. Open your ClickUp workspace in the browser.

2. Navigate to the Space, Folder, and List that contain the task you want.

3. Click the task to open its detailed view.

4. Locate the Clockify button or timer control added by the extension.

5. Click to start the timer. Clockify begins tracking, using the task’s name or ID as the description.

6. When you finish working on the task, click the same control to stop the timer.

The time entry is then saved in Clockify and linked to that ClickUp task for easy reporting.

Add time manually to ClickUp work

If you forgot to run the live timer or prefer manual tracking for your ClickUp work, you can add time after the fact through the extension.

1. Open the related task in ClickUp.

2. Click the Clockify extension icon or task button.

3. Choose the option to add time manually.

4. Enter the date, start and end times, or duration.

5. Confirm and save the entry.

The manual entry will appear in Clockify alongside your other recorded time related to the same ClickUp task.

Review and manage time entries from ClickUp

Time you track from ClickUp is stored in your Clockify workspace, where you can organize entries, run reports, and adjust logs when necessary.

Check ClickUp-related time in Clockify

1. Sign in to Clockify in your browser.

2. Navigate to your timesheet or time tracker view.

3. Filter by project, date range, or description to find entries linked to your ClickUp tasks.

4. Open individual entries to confirm their duration and associated details.

This helps you verify that tracking from ClickUp is working as expected and that no sessions are missing.

Edit or delete time entries from ClickUp work

You can correct inaccurate logs in Clockify whenever you need to update information that originated from ClickUp.

1. Locate the time entry in Clockify that corresponds to your ClickUp task.

2. Click the entry to open its detail window.

3. Edit fields such as description, project, tags, or duration.

4. Save your changes to update the log.

5. If an entry was created by mistake, choose the delete option to remove it.

These edits are stored in Clockify and will not change your ClickUp task content, but they keep reporting accurate.

Tips for organizing time tracking for ClickUp projects

To make your time reports more meaningful, create a consistent structure between your Clockify setup and your ClickUp hierarchy.

• Align projects: Use similar project names in Clockify and Spaces or Folders in ClickUp.
• Standardize descriptions: Let the Clockify extension pull the task title from ClickUp so you can easily recognize entries.
• Use tags: Add tags in Clockify for billable work, internal tasks, support, or other categories connected to ClickUp workflows.
• Review weekly: Compare your ClickUp tasks with Clockify reports regularly to fill any gaps in tracking.
