How to Sync Your Ninety To-Dos with ClickUp
Ninety's native ClickUp integration automatically keeps your To-Dos in sync between Ninety and ClickUp. The integration is built for teams that run project execution in ClickUp and want To-Dos created during a Level 10 Meeting® (L10™) to flow into the ClickUp Lists their team already uses. Owners, Admins, Implementers, Managers, and Managees (Team Members) on any paid subscription plan — Essentials, Accelerate, Thrive, or Legacy — can connect.
What syncs (and what doesn't)
The ClickUp integration syncs the same set of attributes bidirectionally, so changes in either system are automatically reflected in the other.
Synced attributes (seven, both directions):
Creation of a new To-Do or ClickUp task.
Deletion of a To-Do or ClickUp task.
Assignee.
Title.
Due date.
Status (complete or not complete).
Description.
Note: If the same To-Do is edited in both Ninety and ClickUp at the same time, Ninety is the source of truth. The Ninety version wins, and the change propagates to ClickUp.
What does not sync:
Rocks, your 90-day priorities, do not sync. Only To-Dos sync.
Issues, Headlines, and Scorecard items do not sync.
Subtasks, attachments, comments, and custom fields do not sync.
Historical To-Dos and ClickUp tasks created before you connect do not migrate. The sync is forward-looking only.
Scope of the connection
The integration runs against the authenticated user's own To-Dos. There is no team-wide or organization-wide sync in this release. Each user who wants to sync their To-Dos needs to set up their own connection.
Before you connect
Make sure the following are in place before starting the connection process.
Plan and role requirements:
Your company is on any paid subscription plan — Essentials, Accelerate, Thrive, or Legacy.
You are an Owner, Admin, Implementer, Manager, or Managee (Team Member) in Ninety. Observers cannot connect integrations.
You have an active ClickUp account on any ClickUp plan.
One integration at a time:
You can connect to one project management platform at a time from your User Settings. If you want to switch from another connected integration like Monday.com, Asana, or Todoist, disconnect that one first.
How to connect ClickUp
Connect ClickUp from your personal integrations marketplace. The setup takes a few minutes and uses OAuth 2.0, so you grant Ninety access to your ClickUp account through ClickUp's standard authorization flow.
To open the Marketplace and start the connection:
Click your name from the bottom of the left navigation.
Click User Settings.
Click Integrations.
Click the Marketplace tab.
Click Connect on the ClickUp Tasks widget.
A new window will open to ClickUp. Log in if prompted, select the ClickUp Workspace you want to connect, then click Select Workspaces to grant Ninety access. Once authorized, you'll return to Ninety and complete the setup in two steps.
Step 1 of 2: Set up your connection
Open the Workspace dropdown and choose the ClickUp Workspace you want to sync with.
Open the Space dropdown and choose a Space within that Workspace.
Optionally, open the Folder dropdown and choose a Folder.
Open the List dropdown and choose the ClickUp List you want to sync with. This is the List your To-Dos will appear in.
Click Next.
Step 2 of 2: Map your fields
Open the Team dropdown under Ninety and choose the team whose To-Dos you want to sync with this ClickUp List.
Review the remaining field mappings (To-Do title maps to Task name; To-Do description maps to Task description). These are set automatically and cannot be changed.
Click Connect.
When the connection succeeds, you'll see a Successfully connected! confirmation screen. Click Close to return to the Marketplace.
From that point forward, any new team To-Do assigned to you in Ninety appears in your mapped ClickUp List, and any new ClickUp task assigned to you in that List appears in Ninety as a To-Do on the team you mapped.
How sync works after setup
Once connected, the integration runs automatically in the background. You don't need to refresh anything, and you don't need to be logged in for the sync to fire.
Where to create items
New items can be created in either system. The first time an item is created in Ninety or ClickUp, it syncs to the other side within seconds and is linked from that point on.
How fast changes sync
Edits typically appear in the other system within seconds. If a sync fails (for example, due to a temporary API outage), the system retries automatically with exponential backoff.
Note: If the same field is edited in both systems simultaneously, Ninety's value is used. This applies to title, due date, description, status, and assignee.
What you'll see in Ninety
Synced ClickUp tasks appear in your To-Dos list on the team you mapped. They behave like any other To-Do: you can complete them, edit them, delete them, or discuss them during your Level 10 Meeting.
How to manage your connection
You can disconnect the integration at any time from the same Marketplace page where you set it up.
To disconnect:
Click Disconnect on the ClickUp Tasks widget.
While disconnected, no new syncs run, but your existing linked items remain linked.
To reconnect:
Click Start on the ClickUp Tasks widget.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sync Rocks, Issues, or Scorecard items to ClickUp?
No. The native ClickUp integration syncs To-Dos only. Rocks (your 90-day priorities), Issues, Headlines, and Scorecard items do not sync. If you want to track a Rock's progress in ClickUp, break the Rock into To-Dos and let those sync.
Can I sync historical To-Dos and ClickUp tasks?
The integration does not migrate historical items in bulk, but you can pull individual items across by editing them after you connect. Any update to a synced field (assignee, title, due date, status, or description) on an existing To-Do or ClickUp task will be synced to the other system and remain linked from that point on.
What happens if I edit the same item in both places at the same time?
Ninety is the source of truth. If a conflict happens (for example, you edit the title in Ninety while a teammate edits it in ClickUp), Ninety's value wins, and the change propagates to ClickUp.
Can my Admin or team leader set this up for the whole team?
No. Each user connects their own account from their own User Settings. There is no admin-level or team-level setup in this release.
Does the integration cost extra?
No additional cost on the Ninety side beyond your paid subscription. Any paid Ninety plan — Essentials, Accelerate, Thrive, or Legacy — includes the native integrations. Check your ClickUp plan for any limits on ClickUp's end.
