ClickUp Integration

Overview

Connect ClickUp to your Taskade workspace and your tasks move between the two tools on their own. Use automations or AI agents to create, update, comment on, and look up ClickUp tasks, and start an automation the moment a task is added or its status changes. You already retype jobs from one tool into another and reopen ClickUp to mark things done. This hands that off.

TL;DR: ClickUp connects to Taskade as two triggers and eight actions. The New Task and Task Status Updated triggers start an automation when work shows up or moves, while actions create, update, get, list, find, and delete tasks and add or read comments. Your ClickUp board and your Taskade Projects stay in step on their own, across 100+ bidirectional integrations.

💡 Note: Want to bring an existing ClickUp space into Taskade instead of syncing it? See Import from ClickUp for the one-time move.

ClickUp Connects to Taskade Both Ways

ClickUp is a two-way connector. It sends events into Taskade through triggers, and Taskade pushes work back out through actions. A trigger pulls events in. Actions push data out. That means you can react to a ClickUp task and update ClickUp from the same automation, with no tab-switching in between.

The diagram below shows the full loop, from a task changing on your board to the work Taskade runs and writes back.

You can also skip the ClickUp trigger and start the run with a Taskade-native trigger like Schedule or Webhooks, then use a ClickUp action as a step. Either way works.

Connect & Configure ClickUp

Connect your ClickUp account once. The connection is then reusable across every automation and agent in your workspace.

1. Open Workspace → Automations in your app and click Create to build a new automation. You can also prompt Taskade EVE to build it for you.
2. Add a ClickUp trigger or action step, then click Connect in the sidebar on the right.
3. Sign in to ClickUp and approve access in the window that opens.
4. Pick the workspace, space, and list you want the step to use, then click Test connection and Save.

If a ClickUp step ever returns an error after working for a while, the connection has gone stale. Reopen the step, reconnect your ClickUp account, and the automation picks right back up.

ClickUp Triggers

A trigger starts an automation. ClickUp gives you two, so an automation can start the moment work appears or moves to the next stage.

ClickUp Actions

Eight actions cover the day-to-day work you normally do by clicking around ClickUp. Each one runs as a step inside an automation or as a tool an AI agent can call.

The detail most people miss: Get Task and Find Task by Name both return the task ID, so you can chain either one into an Update Task or Create Task Comment step in the same run. A Filter or Branch step in the middle decides what to change before Taskade writes it back.

Match the Trigger to the Moment

Pick the trigger that fits the moment you want the automation to start.

Use ClickUp with AI Agents

Your AI agents can call ClickUp actions as tools during a chat. Ask in plain English, and the agent creates a task, looks one up, leaves a comment, or updates a status for you. The agent picks the right action from your request, so you describe the outcome instead of building the steps. This is one of the 34 built-in tools an agent can reach for. Agent tools for external apps like ClickUp are available on Business plans and up. The same actions also run in automations on every plan.

Configure the ClickUp tool

1. Connect ClickUp to your workspace (see above).
2. Open your agent and go to the Tools tab.
3. Enable Automation Actions or add ClickUp as a custom tool.
4. The agent calls ClickUp actions automatically when a request is relevant during chat.

Prompt examples

Speak to the agent the way you would a teammate. These map to the actions above.

• "Create a ClickUp task to follow up with the new client on Friday." (Create Task)
• "Find my open ClickUp tasks and summarize them by status." (List Tasks, Find Task by Name)
• "When the kitchen remodel moves to Done, leave a comment that the invoice is going out." (Create Task Comment)

Example Workflows

Wire ClickUp into the work you already run. A few patterns to start with.

• One intake list: when a new lead lands in your Taskade intake project, create a matching task on your ClickUp board so the job shows up where your crew already works, with no double entry.
• Finished work to billing: when a job moves to Done in ClickUp, add the client to your "send invoice" list in Taskade so finished work turns into billable invoices the same day.
• Status to standup: when a task's status changes, post a comment and update your Taskade project so the team sees progress without asking you where the job stands.
• Cross-tool alert: pair ClickUp with Slack so your channel gets a message the moment a high-priority task is created.

Here is the finished-work-to-billing pattern at a glance.

  CLICKUP                 TASKADE                 TASKADE
  ┌────────────┐          ┌────────────┐          ┌────────────┐

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ClickUp send updates into Taskade, or only receive them?

Both. ClickUp offers two triggers, New Task and Task Status Updated, that start a Taskade automation, plus eight actions that create, update, get, list, find, and delete tasks and add or read comments. So you can react to ClickUp activity and update ClickUp from your workspace in the same run.

Which plans include the ClickUp integration?

ClickUp works across plans, alongside Taskade's 100+ integrations. Paid tiers raise your automation-run and AI limits (Starter $6, Pro $16, and Business $40 a month on annual billing). See the pricing page for current details.

Can my AI agents create and update ClickUp tasks?

Yes. Enable ClickUp as an agent tool, and your agents can create, read, update, and comment on tasks during a conversation, then reply with the live result. No automation builder needed for one-off requests.

My ClickUp step stopped working. How do I fix it?

The connection has gone stale, which can happen when access is revoked or rotated. Open the automation, select the ClickUp step, reconnect your ClickUp account, and run it again. Once the connection is active, the step resolves normally.

Can Taskade keep a ClickUp task and a Taskade task in sync?

Yes. Use the Task Status Updated trigger to catch a change in ClickUp, then add an Update Task or Get Task step (or update the matching Taskade task) so both tools show the same answer to "where is this job at?"

Build the dashboard your jobs report into

You track jobs across a ClickUp board, a spreadsheet, and your inbox, and you stitch the status together in your head. Taskade lets you build the layer that sits above all of it. Describe an operations dashboard to Taskade Genesis, and you get a live app where every board's status rolls into one view.

Picture a single dashboard you open each morning. A scheduled automation reads your ClickUp tasks overnight, updates the matching records in Taskade, and flags anything overdue. Your crew sees one clear status, your board stays current without manual updates, and the sync runs on its own. Build it from a prompt and connect ClickUp as a step.
