How to Log In to ClickUp with Slack

ClickUp makes it easy to sign in with your Slack account, but many teams eventually need to switch login methods, manage multiple workspaces, or fix sign-in issues. This step-by-step guide walks you through how Slack sign-in works, how to change it, and what to do if you can’t access your account.

The instructions below are based on the official Slack login documentation for ClickUp so you can confidently manage your account settings without getting locked out.

Understanding ClickUp Slack Login

When you first sign up, you can connect your Slack account and use it to log in to ClickUp. This is often called SSO (single sign-on) with Slack. Your Slack email address becomes the primary identifier for your workspace profile.

Before changing anything, keep these points in mind:

• Your Slack account and ClickUp email must match for a smooth sign-in experience.
• If your Slack email changes, your login behavior in ClickUp can also change.
• You can switch from Slack login to a standard email-and-password login if needed.

How ClickUp Uses Your Slack Account

When you connect Slack during signup or from your profile, ClickUp uses that Slack identity to authenticate you. This allows you to:

• Log in quickly without typing a password.
• Join the correct workspace if your Slack email is invited there.
• Receive notifications and messages via Slack when configured.

However, if you rely only on Slack to log in to ClickUp and then lose access to Slack, you may have trouble signing in. That is why it is important to understand how to switch login methods and recover access.

Switching from Slack Login to Email Login in ClickUp

If you no longer want to use Slack as your primary sign-in method for ClickUp, you can move to an email-and-password login. This is helpful if you change companies, migrate Slack workspaces, or simply prefer a direct email login.

Step 1: Confirm Your ClickUp Email

First, verify which email address is associated with your profile in ClickUp.

1. Sign in using your current Slack login method.
2. Open your profile or avatar menu in the ClickUp interface.
3. Locate your account or profile settings section.
4. Verify the email address listed for your account.

If the email address is not correct or you no longer have access to it, update it to an email you control before changing anything else.

Step 2: Set a Password for Email Login

Once your email is correct, set a password so you can log in to ClickUp without Slack.

1. In your account settings, look for the security or password section.
2. Choose the option to create or change your password.
3. Enter a strong password and save your changes.
4. Sign out and test logging back in using your email and new password.

After this step, you can still have your Slack account connected but are no longer dependent on Slack to access ClickUp.

Step 3: Disconnect or Adjust Slack Login (If Needed)

Some users want to fully remove Slack as a login method. Others simply want to keep the integration for notifications while using email to sign in to ClickUp.

To manage this behavior:

1. Go back to your account or integration settings in ClickUp.
2. Find the section where Slack is connected.
3. Review the options to disconnect or update the Slack connection.
4. Confirm any prompts to finalize your choice.

After these steps, your main login path is email and password, even if Slack remains connected for other features.

What Happens When Your Slack Email Changes

If your organization updates email domains or you move to a different Slack workspace, your Slack details might no longer match your ClickUp profile. This can affect your login.

Here is what typically happens:

• If the new Slack email already has a profile in the same ClickUp workspace, you may log into that existing profile instead of your old one.
• If there is no matching profile, you might be prompted to create or join a new workspace.
• You can end up with multiple profiles tied to different workspaces when your Slack identity changes.

To avoid confusion, keep your profile email in ClickUp aligned with the email address you want to use long term and maintain an email-and-password login as a backup.

Fixing Common ClickUp Slack Login Issues

Sometimes you might see errors, fail to join the right workspace, or be unable to update your login method. The original Slack login guide for ClickUp outlines several troubleshooting ideas you can apply.

Issue 1: Can’t Sign In with Slack

If you suddenly cannot sign in with Slack:

• Check whether you still have access to the same Slack workspace.
• Confirm that your Slack email matches the email on your ClickUp profile.
• Try logging in to ClickUp using email and password if you have set one up.

If you do not have a password yet, use the “forgot password” option on the ClickUp login screen and follow the email instructions.

Issue 2: Wrong Workspace Opens

Sometimes Slack SSO might send you into a different workspace than expected. To correct this:

1. Log out of ClickUp completely.
2. Sign back in using your email and password instead of Slack.
3. From inside your profile, confirm which workspaces are associated with your account.
4. Update your primary email or clean up unused workspaces to reduce confusion.

Issue 3: Multiple Profiles in the Same Workspace

If you suspect you have duplicate profiles within a single workspace:

• Contact a workspace owner or admin and ask them to review users with your email variations.
• Decide which profile should remain active.
• Remove or deactivate extra users to simplify your login pattern.

An organized member list in ClickUp helps keep Slack sign-ins predictable.

Best Practices for Secure ClickUp Login

Whether you use Slack or email to log in to ClickUp, follow basic security practices to protect your workspaces.

• Use a strong, unique password if you enable email login.
• Turn on additional security options, such as multi-factor authentication, when available.
• Limit who has admin access in each ClickUp workspace.
• Review and remove old or unused integrations regularly.

These practices help keep your projects and documents safe even if your Slack account changes hands or is deactivated.
