New Feature: Email in ClickUp

Whether you like it or not, email remains the keystone of online communication; it bridges the gap between you, your customers, partners, and everyone else that you can’t reach within your Slack Workspace.

And while email is likely here to stay, it’s undeniable that reading and replying to emails takes up a ton of our time (and productivity)! This is why we’ve created a new, more effective way to organize and streamline your email communication and get your productivity back.

The new Email ClickApp enables you to seamlessly integrate your email communication into ClickUp, allowing you to manage your conversations right alongside relevant work without ever having to tab again!

Introducing the New Email ClickApp for ClickUp

The new Email ClickApp integrates your email with ClickUp, allowing you to manage your work and emails in the same place.

Now you can send and receive emails directly within ClickUp tasks, just as easily as you would post a comment!

Some use cases for the Email ClickApp:

Send and receive emails directly within ClickUp tasks
Organize and include email threads into comments or threaded comments
Add attachments, Forms, templated responses, signatures, and set up Automations

The benefits of bringing your email into ClickUp

Bringing your email and work into one place saves you (and your team) time, keeps conversations next to related work, and helps your team organize and coordinate email communication as a team!

Some examples of how you and your team can use the Email ClickApp:

Assign emails to team members
Keep files, orders, and applications organized alongside emails to contacts
Collaborate on sends and replies
Set up email Automation workflows based on Custom Fields and events (such as a transaction from your website, bug tracking, and more)

The possibilities are pretty much endless.

How the Email ClickApp Works

With the ClickApp enabled, you can send and receive emails directly within a task. Replies will funnel into the same task thread. Easily switch between sending a comment to internal teammates and sending an email to anyone outside of ClickUp.

This is a great feature for anyone who needs to communicate externally with clients, applicants, users, etc., all while keeping communication in one place.

Send emails from within a task

Now, you can send emails to anyone directly from a ClickUp task. This is perfect for moving along conversations related to your work!

You can:

Add attachments
Link emails to tasks within ClickUp
Tag teammates and coordinate emails within comment threads

Shooting off messages and replies directly within ClickUp helps you keep your sends organized, collaborative, and located alongside relevant work.

Receive emails within a task

Once you’ve sent an email from within your ClickUp task, the response will automatically funnel into the task’s Activity thread.

Choosing between threaded emails or new comment

You can also set how you want your emails to show up in your task’s Activity by going to the ClickApp settings for email.

This allows you to choose to keep email conversations organized into their own threads or to have email replies show up in your task as new comments.

Email Templates

If you’re on the Business Plan, templates are great when you need to send quick saved responses, such as with customer support and applicant tracking!

Using a template

Signatures

Each member on the Business Plan can have multiple signatures in ClickUp to personalize how their emails appear!

To create a signature:

In the comment section of your task, navigate to signatures in the bottom left
Open the signatures option
Select +Add signature
Give your signature a name – this will be used for referencing internally
Write out your signature! If you prefer to write your signature using HTML, switch to the HTML editor by clicking the icon in the top right corner!
Optionally, set the signature as the default
Save

Email in ClickUp + Email Custom Fields

If your task has a filled email custom field, this email will appear as a suggested email when drafting! You can then click on this email to fill the “To” field!

Email Automations

You can also update people outside of ClickUp on the details of your project without lifting a finger using Automations. Create automated action from items from customer emails, tickets, bugs, and more!

Add organic content and/or dynamic content to the body of your email automation. This includes options for variable fields, signature, templated responses, emojis, and more.
