Using the integration with Slack, you can receive activity messages about new ClickUp tasks, status changes, new comments, new attachments, or assignee changes without ever leaving Slack.

This article is about syncing ClickUp activity with Slack channels. To choose which ClickUp actions trigger Slack notifications, read our Notifications settings article.

What you'll need

• The integration with Slack is available on every ClickUp plan.
• Guests can't enable Slack activity messages.
• The integration with Slack must be enabled before Slack activity messages can be enabled. 
• You can only integrate one Slack workspace with ClickUp at a time.
• There is no limit to the number of Slack activity messages you can set up. If multiple people in your Workspace set up the same activity messages, you won't see duplicates.

Personal and Workspace connections

If you're using a personal connection, you can set up activity sync with both public and private Slack channels. If you're using a Workspace connection, you can set up activity sync only with public slack channels.

Sync ClickUp activity with Slack channels

Get notified in Slack about ClickUp activities like new task creation, status changes, new task comments, and more.

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

Tasks in multiple Lists will only create Slack activity messages if their home List is included in the selected location. To receive notifications for new tasks created from templates with assignees, ensure Task created is checked and toggle on Assigned to me.

1. From the App Center, search for and select Slack.
