Overview

The ClickUp integration connects your project management and task workflows with Scrums.com, enabling seamless analytics and delivery insights. We collect only the metadata required to provide value — never your task content or attachments. Sensitive data, such as list names and task titles, are always encrypted.

Why integrate ClickUp?

  • Automated analytics — Instantly gain insights into your team’s project progress, resource allocation, and delivery metrics.
  • No code changes needed — Integration is secure and token-based, requiring no changes to your ClickUp workspace.
  • Real-time & historical data — See results in minutes, with both real-time and historical analysis.
