Ensure that context from Slack conversations informs tasks and nothing gets lost in the process.

Create tasks from Slack channels or direct messages, set up channel-specific syncs to ensure all stakeholders see updates, and connect all of your tools using the integration with Slack.

  • A Slack workspace can be connected to multiple ClickUp Workspaces at the same time.

Enable the integration with Slack

Members, admins, and owners can enable the integration using a personal connection. Only Workspace owners and admins can enable the integration using a Workspace connection.

Using a personal connection

From the App Center:

1. Browse for and select Slack.
2. Select Personal.
3. Click Connect.
   
4. Click Allow to grant ClickUp access.

Using a Workspace connection

From the App Center:

1. Browse for and select Slack.
2. Select Workspace.
3. Click Connect.
4. Click Allow to grant ClickUp access.

Once this is completed, you can sync ClickUp activity to Slack channels.

Only the person who set up the Workspace connection can edit it.

Enable ClickUp activity sync with Slack

Once the integration is enabled, you can sync ClickUp activity with Slack for specific Spaces, Folders, and Lists in your Workspace. ClickUp activities will be sent as messages to Slack. You can only select public channels you're in or private channels with ClickUp access for notifications.

You can give ClickUp access to a private channel using the /invite @ClickUp command.

Choose which Slack channels to notify and customize your messages.

You can create a separate #clickup channel in Slack for these messages.

Only the Workspace connection creator can set up new locations for ClickUp activity messages. Admins and owners cannot add new locations, but they can map existing messages to additional ClickUp Spaces, Folders, or Lists.

Preview tasks, comments, and Docs in Slack

Once you've established a personal connection, you'll see previews when you post task, task comment, or Doc links in Slack. You'll see task details like statuses, assignees, Priorities, and more.

Slack refers to previewing as unfurling.

Links to private ClickUp tasks or Docs will be seen by everyone in a channel.

If you're not seeing ClickUp items unfurl in Slack, check your Slack settings to ensure link previews are enabled for ClickUp.

Use Slack actions to create tasks or comments

Using the integration with Slack, you can create a ClickUp task from Slack or add a Slack message as a comment to an existing task.

Preview Slack links in ClickUp

When Slack channel or message links are posted in ClickUp, they'll automatically expand in ClickUp to display helpful details and be accessible from the right sidebar in Task view.

Disconnect the integration with Slack

If you no longer wish to use the integration, you can disconnect it.

To disconnect the integration with Slack, from the App Center:

1. Browse for and select Slack.
2. Select the connection.
3. Click the ellipsis ... and select Disconnect.

You can add the integration with Slack again at any time. 

Troubleshooting

If you're unable to see all of your available Slack channels when enabling the integration, be aware that: 

• The channel must not be deleted.
• You must have joined the channel. 
• Any new channels you create or join may take 5 minutes to sync and appear in ClickUp. You don't need to log out and log back in for new channels to be displayed in ClickUp.
