slack lists integration
Nir Bashan
Slack introduced a new feature - lists.
I would like to be able to link a list item to a ClickUp item and have it move statuses when I change it in Clickup - while ClickUp is my primary place to manage tasks - the view in Slack lists is quick and subject-related (like specific channels and so on)
I would love to explain more about if needed, please reach out with any questions :)

Hi Nir.
Thanks for the suggestion! We’d love to learn more about how you’re using Slack lists alongside ClickUp.
To help us better understand your needs, could you share:
- What kinds of tasks are you managing in Slack Lists today?
- How would you expect a synced ClickUp task to behave in Slack (e.g. status updates, assignees)?
- Would you want new items created in Slack Lists to automatically become ClickUp tasks—or would you prefer to link manually?
- Are you using Slack Lists for quick context within a channel, or as a long-term task tracker?
We want to be transparent: While we see the value of interoperability, ClickUp is purpose-built for task and project management and offers far more advanced features than Slack Lists today (e.g. dependencies, custom fields, automations, views). So full syncing with Slack Lists is not currently a top priority for us.
That said, we’re open to solving key friction points-especially if it helps you stay focused and avoid double work. Thanks again for helping us build better workflows!
