Link your Microsoft 365 email account

Link your Microsoft 365 account to ClickUp so you can send and receive emails within tasks.

What you'll need

  • You need to be a Workspace owner or admin to enable the Email ClickApp.
  • Guests can't use the Email ClickApp.
  • Usage limits are determined by your plan:
    • Free Forever Workspaces get one free email account with 100 uses.
    • Unlimited Workspaces get one free email account with unlimited use.
    • Business Workspaces and above get two free email accounts, including signatures and email templates.
    • Business Plus and Enterprise Workspaces can use custom email permissions for admins and members.
  • Each email account you add can automatically transfer up to 100 contacts into ClickUp.
  • Microsoft 365 accounts can only send emails using the default name on your email account.

Required scopes

The following scopes must be approved by a Microsoft admin to send and receive emails from ClickUp tasks:

  • Mail.Read
  • Mail.ReadWrite
  • Mail.Send
  • Mail.Read.Shared
  • Mail.ReadWrite.Shared
  • Contacts.Read
  • People.Read

If your team uses on-premises Microsoft Exchange, two additional scopes must be approved:

  • ews.messages
  • ews.contacts

Admin consent

When a user links their Microsoft 365 account, your organization's admin must approve the permissions ClickUp requests. The ClickUp app registration for the Email ClickApp uses this client ID: 5a2bb58c-ab39-4735-8a66-b98304f7489b.

This is separate from other ClickUp integrations registered in your Azure tenant:

  • Outlook add-in: aaedd6ae-575a-4582-ba2b-7c114a26e870
  • Planner and Calendar sync: dbaf1972-fb78-4b27-b943-be6f58e058d0

If your organization has disabled the admin consent workflow in Entra ID, consent requests won't queue for approval. An admin must grant permissions directly from Enterprise applications in the Azure portal.
