How to integrate ClickUp with Webflow

Converting website activity into project work saves time on manual data entry and keeps teams aligned. Form submissions can become tasks, e-commerce orders can trigger fulfillment workflows, and CMS updates can sync with project status.

You can connect ClickUp to Webflow through automation platforms like Zapier, Make, or IFTTT for quick setup without code. Or, you can also build with the ClickUp and Webflow APIs when you need custom logic, complex webhook handling, or integration with existing backend systems.

Reference the ClickUp API documentation for authentication requirements and webhook configurations, and the Webflow API documentation for CMS operations and form webhook payload structures.

Connect with automation platforms

Automation platforms connect Webflow to ClickUp without writing code. Zapier, Make, and IFTTT all support this integration with pre-built templates. These platforms handle authentication, error retry logic, and data mapping through visual interfaces.

Zapier offers comprehensive Webflow support with triggers for form submissions, e-commerce orders, order updates, comments, and resolved comment threads. Actions include creating and updating CMS items, fulfilling orders, and managing collections. The ClickUp integration on Zapier provides 15+ triggers and 30+ actions covering task creation, updates, comments, and custom field management.

Some common automation workflows using Zapier and ClickUp include:

• Create ClickUp tasks from new Webflow form submissions for lead management and client intake
• Create ClickUp tasks from new Webflow e-commerce orders with order details, customer information, and product data
• Update Webflow CMS items when ClickUp task status changes to keep website content aligned with project progress
• Generate tasks when new CMS items publish to trigger review workflows or post-publication checklists

Make provides more advanced capabilities with 30+ Webflow modules including webhook listeners, comprehensive CMS management, and asset folder operations. The Make ClickUp integration offers 60+ actions with support for custom fields and complex conditional logic. Use Make when you need multi-step workflows with branching logic or advanced data transformation.

IFTTT offers simpler setup with 4 Webflow triggers (form submitted, new order, new product, new collection item) and basic ClickUp task operations. This works well for straightforward automations without complex data mapping or error handling.

Setup requires API authentication for both platforms. Webflow uses site-specific API tokens, while ClickUp supports both OAuth 2.0 and API token authentication. Most platforms guide you through the connection process with clear authorization flows.

Build with Webflow and ClickUp APIs

Direct API integration enables custom workflows not possible through automation platforms. Build bidirectional data flows for CMS content, process webhooks in real-time, implement complex business logic, and integrate with existing backend systems. Both platforms provide REST APIs with comprehensive documentation.

Note that bidirectional CMS synchronization requires custom conflict resolution logic and careful handling of Webflow's 60 requests per minute rate limit. For operations involving hundreds or thousands of items, synchronization times can extend significantly.

Form submission automation

Webflow form submissions trigger webhooks that POST to your endpoint with submission data. Process these webhooks to create ClickUp tasks. Consult the ClickUp API task endpoints documentation for current custom field mapping capabilities and request payload structures.

Your webhook handler receives the form data, validates the payload, and makes an authenticated POST request to ClickUp's task creation endpoint. Task creation typically uses endpoints following the pattern /api/v2/list/{list_id}/task with JSON payloads containing task details. Verify current endpoint specifications in the official API documentation. Include custom fields from your ClickUp workspace to maintain data structure. Reference the Webflow form webhook documentation for payload structure and authentication requirements.

Both platforms require API tokens in request headers. Generate API tokens from your Webflow site settings and include them in request headers according to the authentication format specified in the Webflow API documentation. Consult the ClickUp API documentation for current authentication header formats and token requirements. Store credentials securely and never expose them in client-side code.

Verify webhook signatures to prevent unauthorized requests. Check the Webflow webhook documentation and ClickUp webhook documentation for current signature verification methods. Handle rate limits by implementing exponential backoff and request queuing.

CMS content synchronization

Sync Webflow CMS items with ClickUp task status through bidirectional webhooks. When tasks update in ClickUp, webhooks notify your endpoint to fetch task data and update corresponding CMS items. When CMS items publish in Webflow, trigger task creation or status updates in ClickUp.

This pattern works for content production workflows where tasks represent articles, product pages, or marketing assets. Track production status in ClickUp while automatically updating website content status through the Webflow CMS API.

Webflow enforces rate limits of 60 requests per minute. The CMS API supports bulk operations up to 100 items per request. For operations involving hundreds or thousands of items, use bulk endpoints when possible to reduce API calls and account for extended synchronization times.

ClickUp sends webhook payloads for various task events. Configure webhook endpoints in ClickUp settings and specify which events trigger notifications according to the current API documentation. Process the webhook payload to extract task IDs and relevant field values.

Use the Webflow CMS API to update collection items programmatically. Authenticate requests with your site API token and specify the collection ID and item ID in the endpoint URL. Update fields like status, publish date, or custom metadata based on task changes.

E-commerce order processing

Convert Webflow e-commerce orders into ClickUp fulfillment tasks automatically. When orders come through, Webflow webhooks send order data including customer details, products, shipping address, and payment status. Create ClickUp tasks with this information structured in custom fields for your fulfillment workflow.

Track order fulfillment status in ClickUp and sync updates back to Webflow through the order management API. Update order status, add tracking numbers, or trigger fulfillment webhooks based on task completion.

What you can build

Integrating ClickUp with Webflow enables automated project management workflows that connect your website directly to your operations.

• Lead qualification pipelines: Create contact forms that generate ClickUp tasks with automatic assignment rules based on form responses, giving sales teams structured leads with complete form data, priority levels, and follow-up timelines without manual data entry
• Content production dashboards: Build CMS-driven status pages that display real-time project progress by syncing ClickUp task status to Webflow CMS items, allowing clients to see which deliverables are in progress, review, or completed through a branded portal
• E-commerce fulfillment systems: Design order management workflows where purchases automatically generate ClickUp tasks with product details, shipping requirements, and customer information, letting operations teams work from structured task lists while order status updates flow back to customer-facing order tracking pages
• Client onboarding automations: Create multi-step forms that generate ClickUp project structures with templated task lists, assigned team members, and deadline calculations based on form responses (note that this requires substantial ClickUp API knowledge for creating task hierarchies with dependencies)
