How to Connect Slack to Google Calendar with ClickUp

Connecting Slack to Google Calendar through ClickUp helps you centralize updates, automate reminders, and keep your whole team aligned without switching tools all day.

This guide walks you through how to link Slack and Google Calendar, what each integration can do, and how ClickUp ties everything together in a single productivity hub.

Why Use ClickUp with Slack and Google Calendar?

Slack is great for fast communication, and Google Calendar is perfect for scheduling. When you add ClickUp to the mix, you unlock a connected system that keeps your tasks, meetings, and messages in sync.

With this three‑tool stack you can:

• Turn conversations into action items without leaving chat
• See task context around upcoming meetings
• Share calendar events with your team in real time
• Automate notifications so nothing slips through the cracks

Instead of constantly jumping between apps, ClickUp lets you manage tasks, docs, reminders, and calendar items in a central workspace.

Prerequisites Before You Start in ClickUp

Before you connect Slack to Google Calendar and layer in ClickUp, confirm that you have:

• An active Slack workspace where you can install apps
• A Google account with access to Google Calendar
• Permissions to connect third‑party tools in Slack and Google
• A ClickUp account with admin or workspace permissions to manage integrations

Once everything is ready, you can configure the integrations step by step.

Step 1: Connect Slack to Google Calendar

The first step is to link Slack and Google Calendar directly. This makes it easy to view events and receive calendar notifications inside Slack channels or DMs.

Install the Google Calendar App in Slack

1. Open Slack on desktop or in your browser.
2. Click the Apps section in the sidebar.
3. Search for Google Calendar.
4. Select the Google Calendar app.
5. Click Add to Slack and follow the prompts.

Slack will guide you through the installation and ask for permission to access your Google Calendar.

Authorize Google Calendar Access

1. Sign in to your Google account when prompted.
2. Choose the Google account you use for work.
3. Review the permissions requested by the Google Calendar app.
4. Click Allow to complete the connection.

After authorization, you can configure how Google Calendar interacts with Slack.

Configure Notifications and Event Settings

Inside the Slack Google Calendar app, you can:

• Choose which calendar to connect
• Set reminders before events start
• Share your status automatically when you are in a meeting
• Decide which Slack channel receives event messages

This basic connection ensures your team sees upcoming meetings and changes in Slack instantly.

Step 2: Connect Slack to ClickUp

Now that Slack is talking to Google Calendar, you can connect Slack to ClickUp to transform messages into tasks and receive smart updates inside your workspace.

Install the ClickUp App in Slack

1. Open Slack and go to the Apps section.
2. Search for ClickUp.
3. Select the ClickUp app from the results.
4. Click Add to Slack.
5. Authorize the integration by signing into your ClickUp account.

After installation, ClickUp will appear as an app in your Slack workspace and can post updates to channels or DMs.

Set Up ClickUp Notifications in Slack

You can configure what ClickUp sends to Slack so you only see updates that matter. Common notification types include:

• New tasks assigned to you
• Status changes on important tasks
• Comments or mentions on tasks you follow
• Reminders and due date changes

To manage these:

1. Open the ClickUp app in Slack.
2. Use the provided settings or slash commands to configure notifications.
3. Map specific ClickUp Spaces, Folders, or Lists to Slack channels.

This helps you keep work discussions tied directly to task updates.

Step 3: Connect Google Calendar to ClickUp

The final piece is connecting Google Calendar to ClickUp so your schedule and tasks stay aligned across the whole system.

Enable the Google Calendar Integration in ClickUp

1. Log in to your ClickUp account in a browser.
2. Click your avatar or profile menu.
3. Go to Apps or Integrations (depending on your workspace view).
4. Find Google Calendar in the integration list.
5. Click Connect or Enable.

ClickUp will open a Google authorization window so you can grant access to your calendar.

Authorize and Choose Calendars

1. Select the Google account tied to your calendar.
2. Review the permissions requested by ClickUp.
3. Click Allow to confirm.
4. Choose the Google Calendar you want to sync with ClickUp.
5. Decide whether the sync is one‑way or two‑way, if options are available.

Once configured, ClickUp can show your events on a Calendar view and, in some setups, create events based on task dates.

How ClickUp Connects Slack and Google Calendar Workflows

With all three connections in place, ClickUp becomes the control center for your communication and scheduling workflows.

You can:

• Discuss tasks in Slack and convert messages into ClickUp tasks with app shortcuts
• See which tasks are tied to upcoming Google Calendar events
• Notify channels automatically when important deadlines from ClickUp are approaching
• Pair calendar meetings with task checklists, docs, and attachments stored in ClickUp

This integrated system reduces manual copying of details between tools and keeps teams focused on execution instead of administration.
