Google Calendar integration

Sync Google Calendar events with your Calendar views to see all of your work in one place. Eliminate time spent switching between platforms and always know what's on your agenda.

What you'll need

  • The Google Calendar integration is available on every ClickUp plan.
  • We recommend creating a brand new Google Calendar. You can quickly show or hide the new Google Calendar to reveal your tasks.
  • The Google Calendar integration is private. No one else in your Workspace can access your Google Calendar through this integration.
  • You may need to occasionally re-authenticate your Google account based on your organization's security policies.
  • Guests can use Google Calendar integration.
  • The Google Calendar integration uses cookies to maintain the integration between Google and ClickUp. Some web browsers, add-ons, or extensions may delete cookies required for the integration to work.
  • Once enabled on the browser or desktop app, synced events will display in the ClickUp mobile app.
  • You cannot sync ClickUp tasks to a shared Google Calendar. 

Set up Google Calendar integration

To set up the integration:

  1. In the App Center, browse for and select Google Calendar.
  2. Click Connect.
  3. Sign in to your Google account and authorize ClickUp.

    If you see No Calendars for this user when trying to connect your Google Calendar, disable ad-block and reauthorize permissions. If you're unable to authorize ClickUp, visit your security settings and verify that your Google account is configured to allow access. 

Two-way sync with Google Calendar

When you sync calendar events from Google Calendar to ClickUp:

  • Changes you make to the event in Google Calendar will be reflected on your calendar in ClickUp.
  • Changes you make to an event in Google Calendar will not update the related task in ClickUp.
  • You can view the event in ClickUp, and click a link to view and edit the event in Google Calendar.
  • Only calendars from the My Calendars section of Google are available.
  • You can toggle your specific Google calendars on or off.
  • Events created in Google Calendar do not create a new task in ClickUp.
  • Google Calendar tasks will not sync to ClickUp.
  • Google Calendar will show tasks as 30-minute blocks regardless of the task's true length. 

Sync your tasks

To sync tasks with Google Calendar:
