Discord integration with ClickUp
The Discord integration for ClickUp lets your team get task updates and create new work items without leaving your chat channels. This guide explains how to connect the apps, configure notifications, and turn messages into tasks so your collaboration stays in sync.
Before you begin, make sure you have the correct permissions in both tools. You will need the ability to manage integrations in your ClickUp Workspace and permission to add apps or webhooks in your Discord server.
What the Discord and ClickUp integration can do
When you connect Discord with ClickUp, you can streamline communication between your project spaces and your chat channels. The integration focuses on three main capabilities.
- Receive automated task notifications directly in a Discord channel.
- Convert Discord messages into actionable tasks or comments.
- Keep your team updated on changes happening inside your Workspace.
This integration helps reduce context switching and ensures that important updates are visible where your team is already communicating.
Requirements to connect Discord with ClickUp
Check these requirements before you start the setup process.
- An active ClickUp account with access to the Space, Folder, or List you want to connect.
- A Discord account with permission to manage apps or integrations on the target server.
- Stable internet access and a supported web browser.
If you are not sure whether you have the correct permissions, contact your Workspace owner in ClickUp or your Discord server admin.
How to connect Discord to ClickUp
Use the following steps to connect your Workspace to your Discord server so updates can be shared between the tools.
Step 1: Open the integration settings in ClickUp
- Sign in to your ClickUp Workspace.
- Open the main menu and navigate to the settings or integrations section, depending on your Workspace layout.
- Locate the Discord option in the list of available integrations.
- Select the Discord integration to begin the connection process.
At this stage, ClickUp will prepare to connect to your Discord account and ask for authorization.
Step 2: Authorize Discord to work with ClickUp
- When prompted, log in to Discord if you are not already signed in.
- Select the Discord server you want to connect to ClickUp.
- Review the requested permissions carefully.
- Confirm and authorize the integration so Discord can communicate with your Workspace.
After authorization is complete, you will be returned to ClickUp to finish the configuration, including choosing the channel and notification options.
Step 3: Choose a Discord channel for ClickUp updates
- Back in ClickUp, select the Discord server you just authorized.
- Pick the specific Discord channel where you want updates to be posted.
- Save your selection to link that channel with your Workspace, Space, Folder, or List.
You can repeat this process if you need different channels to receive updates from separate areas of your ClickUp hierarchy.
Configure ClickUp notification settings for Discord
Once the integration is connected, refine which events will send messages into Discord. Well-tuned settings help your server avoid noise while still surfacing key work items.
Supported events from ClickUp to Discord
Typical event types you can choose to send to a Discord channel include:
- New tasks created in selected Locations.
- Task status changes, such as moving from To Do to In Progress.
- New comments added to tasks.
- Assignee changes and mention notifications.
The exact set of events may evolve, so review the options inside your Workspace and adjust them based on your team’s needs.
How to customize notification rules in ClickUp
- Open the Discord integration settings in ClickUp.
- Locate the section that controls which events are posted to Discord.
- Enable the types of activity you want to send to your server.
- Disable any event types that are not useful to your team.
- Save your changes to apply the configuration.
Consider starting with a limited set of high-value events. You can expand your configuration later if your team needs more visibility.
Turn Discord messages into ClickUp tasks
Beyond notifications, a key advantage of this integration is the ability to capture work directly from conversations. Use your existing chat messages to create structured work items.
Create a task from a Discord message
The exact workflow can vary by integration version, but it typically follows a pattern like this:
- In Discord, find the message that describes a piece of work or an action item.
- Use the available integration shortcut, command, or message action that sends the content to ClickUp.
- Select the target Space, Folder, or List for the new task.
- Review the task name and description, which are often pre-filled from the Discord message.
- Confirm to create the task in your Workspace.
After creation, teammates can manage the new item in ClickUp using statuses, assignees, and due dates while the original conversation remains in Discord for context.
Add comments in ClickUp from Discord
Some configurations also let you post comments on existing tasks straight from Discord. A common flow looks like this:
- Use a command or shortcut in Discord that references a specific task.
- Type the comment text you want to add.
- Send the command so the integration posts it as a new comment on the task.
This helps teams keep decision history attached to work items even if discussions start in chat.
Manage and disconnect the ClickUp Discord integration
If you no longer want updates flowing between the tools, you can modify or remove the connection from your Workspace.
Update existing Discord connections in ClickUp
- Open the integrations or settings area in ClickUp.
- Select the Discord integration to view active connections.
- Choose the channel or server configuration you want to change.
- Update the selected channels, events, or Locations as needed.
- Save your changes.
Updating configurations is useful when teams reorganize Spaces, update workflows, or change which channel handles project communication.
Disconnect Discord from your ClickUp Workspace
- Go to the Discord integration settings in ClickUp.
- Locate the option to remove or disconnect the integration.
- Confirm the action when prompted.
Once disconnected, ClickUp will stop sending updates to Discord, and commands from your server will no longer create or modify tasks. You can reconnect at any time by repeating the setup process.
Troubleshooting Discord and ClickUp integration issues
If notifications are not appearing or commands are failing, use these checks to diagnose issues quickly.
- Verify the integration is still connected in your ClickUp settings.
- Confirm the Discord bot or app has permission to post in the selected channel.
- Check that the correct Workspace Location is linked to the server or channel.
- Review your event filters to make sure the relevant activity is enabled.
- Ensure you are logged into the same accounts used during the original setup.
