Integrate ClickUp Notifications
Overview
You can integrate ClickUp notifications to automatically create ClickUp tasks based on file transfer status changes.
After the integration is complete, a new task is automatically created in the designated ClickUp list whenever a selected event occurs, such as Started, Completed, or Failed.
The setup consists of the following steps:
① Generate a Personal API Token → ② Find the Target List ID → ③ Configure notification settings in the product
Prerequisites
Before you begin, verify the following.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| ClickUp Account | A ClickUp account with access to and permission to edit the target list is required. The Personal API Token uses the same permissions as the account that generated it. |
| Target List | Prepare the ClickUp list where tasks will be created. |
| Network | The environment where the product is installed must allow outbound HTTPS (443) connections to api.clickup.com. |
Generate a Personal API Token
To create ClickUp tasks, you must generate a Personal API Token.
Step 1. Open the Apps Settings
Click your profile avatar in the upper-right corner, then go to Settings.
Select Apps from the left menu.

Step 2. Generate a Personal API Token
Under API Token, click Generate.
If you already have a token, select Regenerate to create a new one.
The generated Personal API Token begins with pk_ and does not expire by default.
This token uses the same permissions as the account that generated it, so it should be treated like a password and must not be exposed externally.
If the token is compromised, you can invalidate the existing token by selecting Regenerate.

Verification
- ✔ A Personal API Token has been generated.
- ✔ The token has been copied and stored securely.
Find the Target List ID
Find the List ID of the target list where tasks will be created.
Step 1. Find the List ID
Right-click the target list in the sidebar, then select Copy link.
The number following /l/ or /li/ in the copied URL is the List ID.
You can also find the same value in the browser address bar while the target list is open.

Verification
- ✔ The List ID of the target list has been identified.
Configure ClickUp Notifications
Enter the generated Personal API Token and List ID in the product's notification settings.
Open the Notifications settings window.
The following screen is displayed.

Step 1. Enter the Personal API Token
In the Personal API Token field, enter the token generated in the "Generate a Personal API Token" section.
Step 2. Enter the List ID
In the List ID field, enter the List ID identified in the "Find the Target List ID" section.
Step 3. Select Notification Events
In the Events section, select the events for which you want to receive notifications.
You can select multiple events. ClickUp tasks are created only when the selected events occur.
| Event | Trigger |
|---|---|
| Started | When a transfer starts |
| Completed | When a transfer completes successfully |
| Paused | When a transfer is paused |
| Resumed | When a paused transfer resumes |
| Recovered | When a transfer automatically resumes after an interruption or error |
| Canceled | When a user cancels a transfer |
| Failed | When a transfer fails |
| Skipped | When a specific file is skipped (for example, because it already exists or matches a filter condition) |
Step 4. Save the Settings
After completing the configuration, click Add to save the integration.
Verification
- ✔ The Personal API Token has been entered.
- ✔ The List ID has been entered.
- ✔ The notification events have been selected.
Verify the Integration
Verify that the integration works correctly.
Step 1. Trigger a Test Event
Start an actual transfer or trigger one of the selected events.

Step 2. Check the ClickUp List
Verify that a new task has been created in the designated ClickUp list.

Verification
- ✔ A new task has been created in the ClickUp list.
- ✔ The event has been recorded correctly.
Setup Complete
After saving the settings, the integration is applied.
From this point on, whenever one of the selected events occurs, a task is automatically created in the designated ClickUp list.
Troubleshooting
If tasks are not created, check the following.
| Issue | Check |
|---|---|
| Tasks are not created | Verify that the Personal API Token and List ID have been entered correctly. |
| A 401 authentication error occurs | Verify that the token is valid and has not been invalidated by Regenerate. |
| A 403 permission error occurs | Verify that the account that generated the token has permission to access the target list and create tasks. |
| The list cannot be found | Verify that the List ID is the correct target list ID following /l/ or /li/. |
| Integration fails in a restricted network environment | Verify that outbound HTTPS (443) communication to api.clickup.com is allowed through the firewall or proxy. |
