Step 2: Understand How the ClickUp Dayforce AI Agent Works

The AI Agent acts as a bridge between ClickUp and Dayforce. It uses secure APIs to read and update information while keeping your HR data within your existing policies and controls.

• Trigger updates from activity in ClickUp, reducing duplicate data entry
• Surface HR context from Dayforce directly within ClickUp work views

By understanding these capabilities, you can design workflows that maximize value from the integration.

Step 3: Plan Your ClickUp and Dayforce Data Flows

Before you authorize the connection, decide what should sync between ClickUp and Dayforce. Planning upfront makes configuration easier and safer.

Questions to Ask Before You Connect ClickUp

• Which teams need Dayforce data visible in ClickUp?
• What HR information is required inside project or task views?
• Which actions in ClickUp should update records in Dayforce?
• What permissions are needed to protect sensitive data?

Typical use cases include syncing employee assignments, time-related data, or schedule changes that impact work tracked in ClickUp.

Step 4: Authorize Access Between ClickUp and Dayforce

Once your plan is clear, you can authorize the AI Agent to connect ClickUp with Dayforce using secure OAuth or API credentials (as provided in your Dayforce environment).

1. From the Dayforce AI Agent page, locate the option to connect or authorize your Dayforce account.

2. Follow the prompts to sign in to Dayforce or provide the necessary credentials.

3. Review the requested permissions and confirm that they match your data flow plan.

4. Approve the authorization to allow the AI Agent to communicate between ClickUp and Dayforce.

This authorization step is where you establish the secure connection and define what the AI Agent can access.

Step 5: Configure ClickUp Workflows with the Dayforce AI Agent

After authorization, you can configure specific workflows so ClickUp and Dayforce stay aligned without constant manual updates.

Example Workflow Ideas for ClickUp and Dayforce

• Onboarding Tasks: When a new hire appears in Dayforce, automatically create onboarding task lists in ClickUp.
• Schedule Changes: When a shift or schedule is updated in Dayforce, notify a ClickUp list or update related tasks.
• Role or Team Changes: When an employee’s department changes in Dayforce, reassign or update relevant ClickUp tasks.

To configure these workflows, use your workspace automation options and connect them with the AI Agent’s capabilities described on the Dayforce page.

Best Practices for Setting Up ClickUp Automations

• Start with a single, high-impact workflow before expanding.
• Test automations in a limited project or folder.
• Restrict access to sensitive data using workspace permissions and Dayforce roles.
• Document each automation so your team understands what the AI Agent does.

Step 6: Test the ClickUp and Dayforce Integration

Testing ensures the integration behaves as expected and that data stays accurate across both tools.

1. Create or update a record in Dayforce that should trigger a workflow in ClickUp.

2. Confirm the expected task, list, or notification appears in your workspace.

3. Trigger an action in ClickUp that is supposed to update Dayforce.

4. Verify that the change is reflected correctly in Dayforce.

Repeat these tests for each workflow and adjust your configurations until results are reliable and consistent.

Step 7: Maintain and Optimize Your ClickUp Dayforce Setup

Once the integration is live, you should maintain it regularly so it continues to support your HR and work management processes.
