How to connect ClickUp to Slack
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active ClickUp account
- An active Slack account with permission to install apps
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
Create your Arahi AI account
Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
Authenticate ClickUp
Click "Add Connection" and select ClickUp from the app directory. You'll be redirected to ClickUp's authorization page. Grant Arahi access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
Authenticate Slack
Same process for Slack. Click "Add Connection," select Slack, and authorize access. Grant Arahi permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new item created in clickup or new message received in slack. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send message in slack. Map the data fields between ClickUp and Slack so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between ClickUp and Slack. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

Is my ClickUp data secure when connected to Slack?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your ClickUp or Slack passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your productivity data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between ClickUp and Slack?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either ClickUp or Slack. For example, create a workflow where ClickUp events update Slack, and a separate one where Slack changes sync back to ClickUp. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect ClickUp and Slack?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use ClickUp and Slack, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
