Import Monday.com data to ClickUp

Moving your work from Monday.com into ClickUp is simple when you use the built-in import tool. This guide walks you through every step so you can quickly transfer boards, groups, and items into your new workspace with minimal effort.

Before you start your ClickUp import

To smoothly migrate data from Monday.com into ClickUp, make sure you understand what is supported by the importer and what access you need in both tools.

What you can import into ClickUp

The Monday.com importer brings in a structured set of data so you can keep your workflow organized in ClickUp. You can import:

Boards as new Spaces, Folders, or Lists
Groups within boards
Items in each group, including basic fields
Subitems attached to items (where supported)

Depending on your Monday.com configuration, some advanced or app-specific fields may not be included. After the import, you can rebuild any missing details directly in ClickUp tasks.

Requirements for using the ClickUp importer

Before starting the import, confirm the following:

You have a ClickUp Workspace and permission to add or manage Spaces.
You can sign in to the Monday.com account that owns the boards you want to import.
Your browser can open pop-ups for authentication during the import flow.

Once these requirements are met, you are ready to launch the import from your ClickUp settings.

How to open the Monday.com import in ClickUp

The Monday.com import is accessed directly from inside your ClickUp Workspace settings. Follow these steps to open the import wizard.

Log in to your ClickUp account.
Open the Workspace where you want the imported data to live.
Click your avatar or Workspace settings menu.
Navigate to the import section where ClickUp lists supported platforms.
Select the Monday.com option to launch the dedicated import flow.

When the wizard opens, you will see prompts guiding you through connecting Monday.com and mapping your data into ClickUp.

Connect Monday.com to ClickUp

To allow ClickUp to read your Monday.com data, you must authorize a secure connection between the two platforms.

Inside the Monday.com import wizard in ClickUp, choose the option to sign in to Monday.com.
A new window or tab will open, asking for your Monday.com login details if you are not already signed in.
Review the access permissions requested.
Approve the connection so ClickUp can retrieve your boards and groups.

After authorization, the wizard will return to ClickUp and display the Monday.com boards available for import.

Select Monday.com boards to import into ClickUp

Next, choose exactly which Monday.com content you want to bring into ClickUp. You can import everything or only specific boards.

In the import wizard, review the list of available Monday.com boards.
Check the boxes next to each board you want to move into ClickUp.
If offered, expand individual boards to confirm which groups, items, or subitems will come across.
Continue to the next step to decide where your data will live in ClickUp.

Being selective helps keep your new ClickUp Workspace organized and focused on the projects you actively use.

Map Monday.com data to ClickUp structure

Now you need to decide how Monday.com boards translate into ClickUp Spaces, Folders, and Lists. This mapping determines the final layout of your imported tasks.

Choose the destination in ClickUp

The import wizard will prompt you to select where the new content should appear:

Map one Monday.com board to a new Space in ClickUp.
Place multiple boards into a single Space using Folders.
Send specific groups into separate Lists under a Folder.

Use a structure that matches how your team will work inside ClickUp going forward. You can always reorganize Spaces, Folders, and Lists after the import completes.

Field mapping from Monday.com to ClickUp

During the mapping step, you may see how certain Monday.com fields will correspond to fields in ClickUp tasks. Common mappings include:

Item name to task name
Status columns to Statuses in ClickUp
People columns to assignees
Date columns to due dates or start dates
Text or number columns to Custom Fields

If the wizard highlights unsupported columns or fields, those specific values will not transfer. You can add new Custom Fields in ClickUp later if needed.

Run the Monday.com import in ClickUp

Once you have confirmed your selections and mapping, you are ready to start the actual import into ClickUp.

Review your chosen boards and destination structure.
Check any summary shown by the ClickUp import tool for item counts or potential limitations.
Click the button to begin the import process.
Keep the browser tab open while ClickUp transfers data from Monday.com.

Import time will vary depending on the amount of data. Larger boards and many attachments can extend processing time.

Review and organize imported data in ClickUp

After the import finishes, take time to review and clean up your new items in ClickUp so your workspace remains tidy and easy to navigate.

Check imported Spaces, Folders, and Lists

In your Workspace sidebar, open the Space or Folder where you sent the Monday.com data. Verify that:

All expected Lists are present.
Tasks match the item names from Monday.com.
Statuses, assignees, and dates look correct.
Subtasks or hierarchies reflect your original structure.

If you notice anything missing, compare it with the source boards in Monday.com and adjust manually in ClickUp if required.

Optimize your workflow in ClickUp

Now that your data lives in ClickUp, you can fine-tune your workflows using powerful platform features:

Create additional Custom Fields that mirror important Monday.com columns.
Update Statuses to match your current process.
Use Views such as List, Board, or Calendar to visualize work.
Set up Automations to replace manual routines from Monday.com.

These adjustments help your team fully benefit from the flexibility of ClickUp while preserving the context of your original boards.

Troubleshooting Monday.com imports in ClickUp

If something does not look right after the import, there are a few ways to diagnose and fix issues in ClickUp.

Missing items: Confirm that the original Monday.com board items still exist and were selected in the wizard.
Incorrect fields: Edit tasks directly in ClickUp or add new Custom Fields to store additional data.
Duplicate imports: If you accidentally imported the same board twice, you can delete or merge the extra Lists or tasks.

Next steps after moving to ClickUp

With your Monday.com boards successfully imported, focus on training your team and refining your setup so everyone can work efficiently in ClickUp.

Walk teammates through the new Spaces, Folders, and Lists.
Document your naming conventions and Status definitions.
Create templates for recurring projects and tasks.
Set permissions and sharing options based on roles.
