Master Your Inbox in ClickUp
The Inbox in ClickUp is your personal hub for tracking reminders, assigned comments, and important updates so you can focus on the work that matters most. This guide walks you through how to open, filter, and manage your Inbox to stay organized every day.
What the ClickUp Inbox Does
The Inbox in ClickUp is designed to reduce noise and show you only the items that need your attention. It collects key updates in one place, instead of forcing you to hunt through spaces, folders, and lists.
Use the Inbox to:
- See reminders and assigned comments that require action.
- Review important changes made to tasks you care about.
- Filter and focus on a specific time period or type of notification.
- Clear or snooze items once you have handled them.
This makes the ClickUp Inbox especially helpful when you start your workday or return from a break and need a quick overview of what changed.
How to Open Your Inbox in ClickUp
You can open the Inbox in ClickUp from the main navigation so it is always just a click away.
- Sign in to your ClickUp workspace.
- Locate the left sidebar navigation.
- Click the Inbox icon or label to open the Inbox view.
Your Inbox will open as a dedicated page showing prioritized notifications and activity that are relevant to you.
Understand Inbox Sections in ClickUp
The Inbox in ClickUp groups information so you can quickly identify what needs action and what is simply informational.
Actionable items in your ClickUp Inbox
Some Inbox items require a decision or a follow-up. These can include:
- Assigned comments that mention or assign tasks to you.
- Reminders you created for yourself or that were shared with you.
- Key task updates that impact your work.
These notifications stay visible in your ClickUp Inbox until you clear or snooze them.
Informational updates in ClickUp
Other updates serve as context or awareness, such as non-critical task changes or comments that do not require a reply. You can scan these quickly, then clear them from the Inbox once you are informed.
Filter and Focus Your Inbox in ClickUp
Filters help you customize the Inbox in ClickUp so you only see what is relevant at the moment.
Use time-based filters
To focus on a particular period:
- Open the Inbox in ClickUp.
- Use the time or date controls at the top of the view.
- Select a period such as Today, Last 7 days, or another available range.
This highlights the most recent updates and prevents older messages from distracting you.
Filter by type of activity
Depending on the options available in your Inbox, you can filter by different types of updates. For example, you may be able to limit your view to:
- Assigned comments only.
- Reminders.
- Specific task changes or activities.
Adjusting these filters in ClickUp allows you to move from high-level awareness to focused, actionable work.
Manage Notifications in the ClickUp Inbox
Once items appear in your Inbox, you can decide what to do with each one so nothing falls through the cracks.
Open and review Inbox items
- Click any notification in the ClickUp Inbox.
- A panel or task view opens, showing the full context.
- Review the comment, reminder, or task details.
After reviewing, you can respond, update the task, or change any necessary details directly from the task view.
Clear items from your ClickUp Inbox
When you have finished responding or no longer need to see an item in your Inbox:
- Select the notification.
- Click the option to clear or mark it as done (this may appear as a checkmark or similar control).
- The item disappears from your active Inbox view.
Clearing items does not delete the underlying task or comment in ClickUp; it simply removes the notification from your Inbox so it stays tidy.
Snooze Inbox notifications
If you are not ready to act but do not want to lose track of something important:
- Open the desired notification in the ClickUp Inbox.
- Select the Snooze option, if available.
- Choose when you want the notification to reappear.
Snoozing helps you control timing without keeping your Inbox cluttered.
Best Practices for Using the Inbox in ClickUp
To get the most from the Inbox, build a simple routine using ClickUp features consistently.
Start and end your day in the ClickUp Inbox
Use the Inbox at key moments:
- Morning: Open the Inbox in ClickUp first to see new comments, reminders, and updates.
- Midday: Check again to capture any changes during your work.
- End of day: Clear or snooze remaining items so you know exactly what to handle tomorrow.
Respond quickly to assigned comments
Assigned comments represent direct requests or questions. When you see them in the ClickUp Inbox:
- Open the comment thread.
- Reply or complete the needed action.
- Clear the notification once you have resolved it.
This keeps communication moving smoothly across your workspace.
Use reminders for personal organization in ClickUp
Reminders show up in your Inbox and act like lightweight tasks. Create reminders for:
- Time-sensitive follow-ups.
- Small tasks you do not want to turn into full tasks.
- Quick notes that need a due date.
By managing these reminders in the ClickUp Inbox, you ensure small but important actions are not forgotten.
