Easy Tech TutsHow to Integrate ClickUp with Microsoft Teams
By Impran M N
If your team communicates in Microsoft Teams but tracks work in ClickUp, this integration cuts down on switching between apps. This guide covers installing the official ClickUp extension from the Teams App Store, embedding a live ClickUp List into a channel tab, and using message shortcuts to turn a chat thread directly into a task.
01Open the Teams App Store
In Microsoft Teams, click the Apps icon in the bottom left navigation sidebar to browse available integrations.
02Install the ClickUp extension
Search for ClickUp, select the official extension, and click Add to install it.
03Authorize the connection
Pass the OAuth handshake gateway and select your target ClickUp workspace to link the two platforms.
04Add a ClickUp tab to a channel
Inside a specific Teams channel, use the top bar to add a new tab and select ClickUp, then choose your target Space, Folder, or List.
05Set up notification triggers
Configure the channel notification framework so specific task status changes automatically post as chat alerts.
06Turn chat messages into tasks
Hover over a chat bubble and use the message shortcut to instantly generate a new ClickUp task from that conversation.
