Use the ClickUp Notion integration

The ClickUp Notion integration lets you connect your Notion databases with ClickUp tasks so your teams can keep information aligned across both workspaces without duplicating effort.

This how-to guide walks you through enabling the integration, mapping Notion properties to task fields, and managing synced items safely.

Overview of the ClickUp Notion integration

With this integration, you can link a Notion database to a location in your workspace so that each database item becomes a task. Changes made in one tool can then be reflected in the other, depending on how the sync is configured.

The ClickUp Notion integration is designed for teams that manage documentation or structured data in Notion but plan and execute work in a task-based system. It helps keep status, owners, and other key details consistent.

Requirements before you connect Notion to ClickUp

Before you start, confirm that you meet the requirements in both tools.

ClickUp workspace requirements

• You must have access to the workspace where you want to enable the integration.
• You need permission to install and manage integrations for that workspace.
• You should know which Space, Folder, or List will store the synced tasks.

Notion workspace requirements

• You must have a Notion account with access to the database you want to sync.
• You need permission to install and authorize the integration in that Notion workspace.
• Your Notion data should be stored in a database (table, board, etc.), not just standalone pages.

Enable the ClickUp Notion integration

Follow these steps to turn on the connection between the two platforms.

Step 1: Open ClickUp integrations

1. Sign in to your workspace.
2. Open the main settings area from the sidebar or avatar menu.
3. Go to the integrations or apps section where available connections are listed.
4. Find the Notion integration in the catalog.

Step 2: Connect your Notion account

1. Select the Notion integration card.
2. Click the option to connect or authorize.
3. A new window will open asking you to sign in to Notion, if you are not already signed in.
4. Choose the Notion workspace that you want to connect.
5. Grant the requested permissions so the integration can read and update the selected databases.

After authorization, you will return to your workspace and see that Notion is now connected.

Configure ClickUp and Notion database sync

Once you connect accounts, you need to choose which Notion database to sync and how items should become tasks.

Select a Notion database to sync

1. In the Notion integration settings, choose the option to add or configure a database sync.
2. From the list of available databases in your Notion workspace, select the one you want to link.
3. Confirm the database selection to move to mapping and sync rules.

Choose a ClickUp location for synced tasks

1. Pick the Space that will store tasks created by the integration.
2. Choose a Folder if you want to keep these tasks grouped separately.
3. Select a List where new tasks should be created for each Notion database item.
4. Save the location so all new synced tasks are organized consistently.

Map Notion properties to ClickUp fields

To keep important data aligned, map columns in your Notion database to task fields.

1. Open the field mapping section in the integration settings.
2. For each Notion property, choose the corresponding task field. Common mappings include:
   • Title → Task name
   • Person → Assignee
   • Status → Task status
   • Date → Due date or start date
   • Select or multi-select → Custom fields
3. Decide which properties are required for the sync to work correctly.
4. Save your mapping so future syncs use the same structure.

Control how data syncs between ClickUp and Notion

You can adjust how and when information is shared between the two systems so your team’s workflow remains predictable.

Set the sync direction

Depending on your integration’s options, you can typically choose one of these patterns:

• One-way from Notion to task management, where Notion is the source of truth.
• One-way from task management to Notion, where tasks control the data.
• Two-way sync, where supported fields are updated in both tools.

Pick the direction that best matches where your team prefers to edit data.

Define sync triggers and frequency

In the integration settings, you may be able to adjust:

• Whether new database items automatically create new tasks.
• Whether changes to mapped fields in Notion update existing tasks.
• Whether status or completion in tasks updates statuses in Notion.
• How often the sync runs if it is scheduled rather than immediate.

These rules help prevent conflicts and keep updates predictable for all team members.

Manage synced items in ClickUp

After configuration, each Notion database row typically appears as a task at your chosen location.

• Task names mirror the main title property from Notion.
• Assignees, dates, and statuses are filled according to your field mappings.
• Custom fields store additional information such as tags, types, or priorities.

Team members can work on tasks normally. When they update mapped fields, those changes can appear back in the database, depending on the rules you set for the integration.

Best practices for maintaining ClickUp Notion data

• Avoid changing the structure of the underlying database once it is mapped, or update the mapping immediately when you do.
• Limit editing mapped fields in both tools at the same time to reduce conflicting updates.
• Test changes on a small sample database before rolling them out to production data.
• Keep permissions aligned so the right people can edit and manage synced content.

Troubleshoot the ClickUp Notion integration

If something does not sync as expected, check these common issues.

Check connection and permissions

• Confirm that the Notion integration is still connected in your workspace settings.
• Verify that your Notion account still has access to the database.
• Ensure the integration has not been removed or restricted in your Notion workspace.

Review field mappings and database structure

• Make sure all required fields still exist in the database.
• Confirm that property types in Notion match the task fields you selected.
• Update mapping if you add or rename properties in the database.

Check sync rules and limits

• Confirm that the sync direction is set to update in the way you expect.
• Ensure that new items meet any filters or conditions you configured.
• Allow time for scheduled syncs if the process is not immediate.

If issues persist, compare your setup with the official documentation for this integration at the Notion integration article.

Next steps with ClickUp and Notion

Once the ClickUp Notion integration is running smoothly, document your process so team members know where to create items, how statuses move between tools, and which properties should be edited in each workspace.

Review your sync regularly and revise mappings as your databases evolve, so information stays organized and accurate on both sides.
