ClickUp and Slack, ready to switch on

New tasks in the lists you choose, status changes and comments land in the Slack channel you pick, and a morning message says what is due today and who has it. You paste two keys in your account and we switch it on for you.

Ask us to connect it Mine is a bit different

No setup fee, cancel any month, and a person on live chat if a key doesn't work.

Paste the ClickUp API token and the Slack bot token
- ClickUp API token: in ClickUp open your avatar, then Settings, then Apps. Full ClickUp guide
- Slack bot token: open api.slack.com/apps and create an app from scratch in your workspace. Full Slack guide
Each screen carries the full guide with the exact menu names, about seven minutes for both.
We check both keys

Each key is checked against ClickUp's and Slack'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 on

A minute or two. Create a task in ClickUp and watch the post arrive in the channel. From then on we watch it for you. A person checks the setup and switches it on, within a working day.

When ClickUp or Slack changes its API, we fix it within a working day. You don't get a ticket to solve.

$39a month

Before you decide

Can we create a task from a message?

Not in this one; it runs into the chat. If a message should become a task, describe it and we price it.

How do we keep it quiet?

Name the lists and the moves worth posting. Everything else stays on the board.

Do comments really come through?

Yes, with the author and the first lines, in that task's thread. A long comment is cut with a link back to ClickUp so the channel stays readable.

Can each list post to its own channel?

Yes. Tell us which list belongs where while connecting. Teams that put everything in one channel usually come back a week later asking for exactly this.

Do subtasks post too?

Only when the list they belong to is watched, and then they land in the parent task's thread rather than as a post of their own, so a task with twelve subtasks stays one conversation.

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 Slack?

The bot has to be invited to a channel before it can post there; that's one command in Slack.

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.
