Create ClickUp tasks from Gmail emails with one click Gmail to ClickUp Transform your Gmail inbox into an actionable task management powerhouse. Create ClickUp tasks from emails with a single click—no copy-pasting, no context switching. The Problem We Solve If you're like most professionals, your inbox is full of emails that need action. Client requests, project updates, team questions—they all pile up. You know you should track them in ClickUp, but manually copying email details into tasks is tedious and time-consuming. Important emails slip through the cracks, deadlines get missed, and your productivity suffers. Gmail to ClickUp eliminates that friction entirely. How It Works Once installed and configured, a sleek "ClickUp" button appears in your Gmail toolbar whenever you're viewing an email. Click it, and within seconds: 1. A new task is created in your chosen ClickUp list 2. The email subject becomes the task title 3. The full email content is captured in the task description 4. Sender information and timestamp are preserved 5. A direct link back to the original Gmail thread is included 6. The complete email (with formatting) is attached as an HTML file That's it. No forms to fill out. No tabs to switch between. Just one click and your email becomes a trackable, actionable task. Key Features One-Click Task Creation The moment you view an email in Gmail, the "ClickUp" button is ready. Click once, and your task is created instantly. Visual feedback shows you the progress—loading spinner while creating, green checkmark on success, and a prompt to open the new task in ClickUp. Complete Email Capture Unlike basic integrations that only grab the subject line, Gmail to ClickUp preserves everything: - Subject → Task title - Sender email address → Included in description - Date and time → Timestamped in the task - Full email body → Converted to clean, readable text - HTML version → Attached as a styled document preserving original formatting, images, and links Smart Duplicate Detection Already created a task from this email? The extension remembers. Instead of showing the create button again, you'll see "Already in ClickUp" with a direct link to the existing task. You can still create another task if needed—just click the small "+" button. Hierarchical List Selection ClickUp's organizational structure can be complex—workspaces, spaces, folders, and lists. Our settings page guides you through each level with intuitive dropdown menus. Simply: 1. Connect your ClickUp account with your API token 2. Select your workspace 3. Choose a space 4. Pick a folder or list directly 5. Save your settings Your configuration is remembered, so you only need to set it up once. Direct Gmail Link Every task created includes a clickable link that takes you straight back to the original email in Gmail. Perfect for when you need to reference the full conversation thread, download attachments from Gmail directly, or reply to the sender. Works Everywhere in Gmail The extension intelligently detects when you're viewing an email, regardless of where you found it: - Inbox - Sent folder - Labels - Search results - All Mail - Any other folder or category Beautiful, Native-Feeling Interface The ClickUp button blends seamlessly into Gmail's toolbar. It's designed to look like it belongs there, using familiar icons and interaction patterns. Loading states, success confirmations, and error messages are all clearly communicated without being intrusive. Setup Guide Getting started takes just 2 minutes: Step 1: Get Your ClickUp API Token 1.
