ClickUp and Notion, ready to switch on
An item in the Notion database you connect becomes a task in the ClickUp list you choose, with the properties you map, and closing it on either side closes the other. You paste two keys in your account and we switch it on for you.
No setup fee, cancel any month, and a person on live chat if a key doesn't work.

What moves, and when
The details you would normally get after a sales call. Here they are up front.
| What | Direction | When | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Database item opens a task | Notion to ClickUp | Within seconds | In the list you choose, with the page link on the task so the brief is one click away |
| Task appears in the database | ClickUp to Notion | Within seconds | Written into properties that exist already, never by inventing new ones behind your back |
| Status matched by name | Both ways | Within seconds | Your ClickUp statuses and your Notion status property meet exactly where you say they meet |
| Comments become page comments | ClickUp to Notion | Within seconds | With the author, so the document keeps the discussion that shaped it |
| Only what you shared | In Notion | Always | The integration sees the databases you connected it to and nothing else in the workspace |

Each screen carries the full guide with the exact menu names, about six minutes for both. - We check both keysEach key is checked against ClickUp's and Notion's own API the moment you paste it. If one doesn't pass, the screen says what to fix, and a person joins the chat if that isn't enough.
- Create one test task, then we switch it onA minute or two. Create a task in ClickUp, watch its twin appear in Notion, then close one and watch the other close. A person checks the setup and switches it on, within a working day.
When ClickUp or Notion changes its API, we fix it within a working day. You don't get a ticket to solve.
- Everything in the table above, with monitoring on.
- Fixes when either app changes its API.
- A person on live chat, weekdays 10:00 to 19:00 EET.
- Custom logic beyond the table is priced separately.
What it will cost once you can switch it on yourself. While we're in beta we connect it by hand and don't charge for it.
Ways to connect ClickUp and Notion
Two ways people connect these two, and what each one asks of you.
Before you decide
Which one is the source of truth?
Neither, and that is why the loop guard matters. Each team works where it prefers, and the twin follows. If you would rather one side be read-only, say so and we set it that way.
Do subtasks and checklists come across?
The top level does, with title, dates and assignee. Subtasks and checklists differ so much between these two that we treat them as a custom job rather than pretending they map cleanly.
Our Notion database is really a wiki. Does that work?
It works if the pages you want as tasks live in a database with a status property. A page sitting loose in the sidebar has nothing for us to read or write, so those stay where they are.
Can one database feed two lists?
Yes, by a property. Point the value Design at one list and Development at another while connecting, and each item goes where the work belongs instead of into one long queue.
Anything to know about ClickUp?
The personal token acts as you, so tasks the integration creates show your name as their creator. A user made for the integration keeps that tidy.
Anything to know about Notion?
An integration only sees the pages and databases you have connected it to, so a database nobody shared with it stays invisible even to a valid key.
What if mine is a bit different?
Tell us what should go where in plain words. Small changes to the rules above are usually free; bigger ones we price within a working day and build into the same account.
