ClickUp
Using ClickUp as a data source within your Softr app
ClickUp is a comprehensive project management and productivity tool that you can use to manage projects, clients, tasks, files, and more. Softr supports all Lists within ClickUp. This allows you to:
-
Connect your ClickUp data to Softr for a branded app
-
Read, write, update, and delete data in ClickUp from within your Softr app
-
Share with external parties or larger groups without sacrificing privacy or paying for each access
Connect ClickUp Data to Softr
Add ClickUp as a data source
In your Softr workspace, click Integrations in the left menu.
Click Connect new.
Click the ClickUp tile in the list of data sources.
In the Connect to ClickUp window, click Connect.
If you are not signed in to ClickUp, sign in first. Then select the Workspaces you want to connect to Softr and click Connect Workspace.
Softr opens again. Your ClickUp connection now appears in the Integrations list and in every Softr app.
To rename, share, re-authenticate, or remove the connection, click the three dots next to it. Select See active apps to see which apps use it.
Connect a block to your new ClickUp datasource
In any of your Softr apps, select a dynamic block, such as a List block. In the Source settings, select ClickUp - [connection name] as the Account.
Then select the Team, the Space, and the List to show.
Hover over a block to see which data sources it supports.
Map your ClickUp properties to the block elements
Click the block and select the Content tab. Map your ClickUp fields to the visual elements of the block.
To map a field, click it and choose the field from ClickUp. For example, map an image element to the Files field.
You can add new fields, delete fields, duplicate fields, or change the styling of individual fields and elements. You can also change the field type if it does not match how you want it to display. Read more about mapping data here.
Step 4 (optional): Create app users from ClickUp
You can sync a list of contacts or people in ClickUp so that they become Users of your Softr app. To learn more about users and how to sync them, check out this article.

Softr Support for Tasks in Multiple Lists
ClickUp allows you to show tasks from one list inside other lists. Accessing these multiple lists is also possible in Softr, regardless of which list a task is housed in. For more information about these fields in ClickUp, see this article.
ClickUp API Rate Limits
ClickUp has Rate limits based on the subscription plan on each Workspace level. This means that the rate at which you can read and interact with data from ClickUp will depend on your ClickUp plan. For API calls to ClickUp these are the current rate limits for ClickUp plans:
-
Free Forever, Unlimited, and Business: 100 requests per minute per token.
-
Business Plus: 1,000 requests per minute per token.
-
Enterprise: 10,000 requests per minute per token.
FAQ
Can I use ClickUp data in Softr templates?
Yes. Each Softr template comes with a sample Airtable base, so you can see how data is structured for the use case (e.g. client portal, inventory management). But you can use templates with another Softr-supported data source (like ClickUp), by connecting your own data. We recommend you follow the data structure in the sample base.
Can I pull in sub-tasks from ClickUp?
Currently this is not supported, but we will be adding this soon! In the meantime, you can use our REST API datasource to pull in other resources from ClickUp like sub-tasks, built-in ClickUp comments, and more.
What is the hierarchy of supported ClickUp objects in Softr?
Softr can connect one list to one block at a time. The list can be within a folder as well.
