How to use the integration
-
Download the Chrome extension
-
Go to Gmail
-
Open an email
-
Click the ClickUp logo within the email you want to use
Follow the steps when the Chrome extension opens with two options:
Attach to task
Your email will be attached as a rich attachment to an existing task. The attachment will be named the subject of your email, and you'll be able to preview, download, and even open the email.
Create new task
Attach your email to a new task. By default, the subject line will become the name of the task, but you can adjust this before creation. In the newly created task, you'll find your email as an attachment where you can preview, download, and open it right from ClickUp.
When you download the extension, if you do not see the ClickUp logo in your email, make sure to check that your Email feature is toggled on in the extension Settings.
See which tasks emails have been attached to
After attaching an email to a task, you'll see the name of the task as a button on the email. Clicking this will open the task in ClickUp.
In ClickUp, you'll see the following in your task activity and attachments:
You can open the email thread by clicking on the attachment and selecting Open in Gmail in the upper-right corner.
Open in Gmail will appear only if you have access to that email inbox.
