Connect Gmail with ClickUp

Integrating Gmail with ClickUp lets you send, receive, and manage emails directly from your workspaces so your communication and tasks stay perfectly in sync.

This guide walks you through every step to link your Gmail account, configure permissions, and start using email features within ClickUp.

Requirements to connect Gmail to ClickUp

Before you link Gmail to ClickUp, make sure you meet these requirements:

• A Google account with Gmail enabled
• Access to the ClickUp Workspace where you want to use email
• Supported browser with pop-ups allowed for Google authorization

The Gmail integration uses Google OAuth for secure authentication. You approve access once, then manage everything from your ClickUp account settings and task views.

How to link Gmail to ClickUp from your profile

You can connect Gmail to ClickUp from your personal settings so your email is available wherever email features are enabled in your Workspace.

Step-by-step: connect Gmail to ClickUp

1. Sign in to your ClickUp Workspace.

2. Click your avatar in the lower-left corner.

3. Select Settings to open your personal settings area.

4. In the left sidebar, find the email section or direct Gmail connection option (labeling may vary slightly based on interface updates).

5. Click the option to Connect or Add Account for Gmail.

6. A Google sign-in window opens. Choose the Google account you want to connect.

7. Review the permissions requested so ClickUp can send and manage email on your behalf.

8. Click Allow to authorize the connection.

After authorization, your Gmail account is linked to ClickUp and becomes available anywhere the email features are supported.

Connect Gmail to ClickUp from a task

You can also connect Gmail to ClickUp directly when you need to send an email from a task for the first time.

Authorize Gmail from a ClickUp task

1. Open any task in your ClickUp Workspace.

2. Locate the email section or the email icon within the task view. This may appear in the activity area, comments pane, or a dedicated email tab, depending on your layout.

3. Click the email button to start composing a new message.

4. If Gmail has not been linked yet, you will see an option to connect your email account.

5. Select Gmail as your provider.

6. Follow the Google sign-in flow and approve permissions, as described in the previous section.

Once done, your Gmail connection is stored, and you can send and receive messages from this and other tasks in ClickUp without repeating the setup.

Manage Gmail connections in ClickUp

If you need to switch accounts or remove access, you can manage Gmail connections from within ClickUp.

View and edit connected Gmail accounts

1. Go to your ClickUp personal settings using your avatar menu.

2. Navigate to the email integration or connected accounts page.

3. Locate your connected Gmail account.

4. Use the available controls to:

   • Disconnect Gmail if you no longer want to use that account
   • Reconnect Gmail if authorization expires or was revoked in Google
   • Add another Gmail account, if supported for your plan and role

Changes here affect how email behaves across tasks, comments, and areas where the email features are configured in ClickUp.

Use Gmail inside ClickUp after connecting

When Gmail is connected, you can handle email without leaving ClickUp.

Send email from a ClickUp task

1. Open a task.

2. Click the email option in the task.

3. Select your connected Gmail account if prompted.

4. Compose your message, add recipients, and attach any necessary files.

5. Send the email and track the conversation directly from the task.

This setup helps you keep task context, assignees, and email threads aligned in one place inside ClickUp.

Benefits of the Gmail and ClickUp integration

• Reduce context switching by working with email inside tasks
• Keep communication history tied to specific items
• Maintain a clear record of client or stakeholder conversations
• Improve collaboration by letting teammates see relevant email threads

Troubleshooting Gmail and ClickUp issues

If you run into problems while connecting Gmail to ClickUp, use these checks:

• Confirm you are logged into the correct Google account before authorizing.
• Allow browser pop-ups, since Google uses a separate window for permissions.
• Verify that your Google Workspace admin allows third-party app connections, if you are on a managed domain.
• Try disconnecting and reconnecting Gmail from your ClickUp settings if email stops sending.
