Embed Airtable in ClickUp

You can embed Airtable views in ClickUp so your team can see and interact with live data without switching between tools. This guide walks you through how to add Airtable embeds to tasks, Docs, and chat views using secure share links.

Requirements for embedding Airtable in ClickUp

Before you start, make sure you have the right access and settings configured in both Airtable and ClickUp.

Airtable requirements

• Access to the Airtable base and view you want to embed.
• Permission to generate a shared view link.
• Optional: permission to customize sharing options such as read-only, forms, or interactive views.

ClickUp workspace access

• Access to the Space, Folder, List, or task where you want the embed to appear.
• Permission to edit the Doc, task description, or comment in ClickUp.

Get the Airtable share link for ClickUp

The core of the process is creating a shareable URL in Airtable. You will paste this link into ClickUp to generate the embed.

1. Open your base in Airtable.
2. Select the specific view you want to embed, such as Grid, Kanban, Calendar, or Form.
3. Click the Share view or Share form option in Airtable.
4. Enable the shared link if it is not already turned on.
5. Copy the public share URL that Airtable generates.

Keep this link handy. You will use it in the next steps when you switch to ClickUp.

How to embed Airtable in a ClickUp task

You can place an Airtable view directly inside a task description or comment so everyone can access important tables while working in ClickUp.

Embed Airtable in a ClickUp task description

1. Open the relevant task in ClickUp.
2. Click into the task description field to enter editing mode.
3. Type /embed to open the embed slash command.
4. Select the Embed option from the menu.
5. Paste your Airtable share link into the URL field.
6. Click Embed to insert the live Airtable view into the description.

The Airtable view now appears as an embedded frame in the task. You can resize the embed inside ClickUp to make the table or form easier to read.

Embed Airtable in a ClickUp task comment

1. Open the task where you want to share Airtable content.
2. Go to the comment field in the task activity section.
3. Type /embed in the comment editor.
4. Choose the Embed option.
5. Paste your Airtable share link.
6. Post the comment.

The embed will appear in the task comment stream so collaborators can open and interact with the Airtable view right inside ClickUp.

How to embed Airtable in a ClickUp Doc

Docs are a powerful place to centralize project information. You can embed Airtable directly in a ClickUp Doc to keep roadmaps, databases, or intake forms close to your written documentation.

Using the embed slash command in ClickUp Docs

1. Open the Doc where you want to add the Airtable view in ClickUp.
2. Click into the Doc body where the embed should appear.
3. Type /embed to open the embed options.
4. Select Embed.
5. Paste the Airtable share link you copied earlier.
6. Confirm to insert the embed block.

Your Doc will now display an embedded Airtable view within ClickUp. You can drag to resize the block or reposition it anywhere in the document.

Embed Airtable in a ClickUp Doc using the toolbar

1. Open the Doc in ClickUp.
2. Highlight the location where you want the embed to appear.
3. Click the + icon or formatting menu in the left margin or toolbar.
4. Choose Embed from the available content types.
5. Paste the Airtable share URL.
6. Click Embed to finish.

Use this approach if you prefer working with the visual toolbar instead of slash commands in ClickUp.

How Airtable behaves when embedded in ClickUp

Once embedded, your Airtable content behaves similarly to how it works in the original base, within the limits of its shared view settings.

Supported Airtable content in ClickUp

• Grid views to present structured data and records.
• Kanban or board views for pipelines or workflows.
• Calendar views for date-driven items.
• Form views so teammates or stakeholders can submit responses while staying in ClickUp.

Any viewer in ClickUp will see only what the Airtable shared view allows. If your Airtable link is read-only, users cannot change data from within ClickUp.

Security and permissions

• ClickUp does not override Airtable permissions. Access is dictated by the shared view link.
• To restrict visibility, adjust the share settings in Airtable or regenerate the link.
• If an embed stops working, confirm the Airtable share link is still active.

Troubleshooting Airtable embeds in ClickUp

If your embed is not displaying correctly in ClickUp, review the steps below.

Common issues and fixes

• Blank or error message: Verify your Airtable share link is public and has not been disabled.
• Wrong view displayed: Confirm you copied the correct view URL from Airtable before embedding in ClickUp.
• Size or readability problems: Resize the embed block in your ClickUp task or Doc by dragging the corners or edges.
• Access denied for teammates: Update Airtable share permissions or provide alternative access at the base level.

Best practices for Airtable and ClickUp workflows

Use Airtable embeds strategically to keep your team organized and focused inside ClickUp.

• Place key Airtable project views in a central ClickUp Doc, such as a project overview or operating playbook.
• Add form views in Docs or tasks to collect requests or feedback without leaving ClickUp.
• Embed reporting views in high-level tasks so managers can quickly check status.
• Use consistent naming for tasks and Docs that contain Airtable embeds to make them easy to find in ClickUp search.
