Before you start

  • ClickUp lists must be in a folder for them to be imported to Teamwork.com (lists not in a folder aren't imported). So, before you start an import, make sure any lists you need imported are in a folder. Hack: create a "No Folder" in ClickUp to add any folder-less lists to. 
  • When you import (or re-import), make sure all ClickUp items being imported do not have names already in use in your Teamwork.com site.

  11. Click Import.

The import begins — it might take some time, but don't worry, you'll receive an email once the import is completed.

Once the import is finished, you can start working with your imported projects and users. Change is...change. Check below for best practices on how to get your team on board with Teamwork.com.


Reimport

In order to reimport projects, please delete the existing project in Teamwork.com first before running the import again.
⚠️ Do not archive the project — the import will not update an archived project and restore it to active status.

Data mapping

ClickUp and Teamwork.com use different work hierarchy structures. The importer maps certain ClickUp item types into corresponding Teamwork.com items to ensure data is brought over effectively.
⚠️ Custom fields and attachments from ClickUp are not carried over to Teamwork.com.

Best practices

  • Prepare: Organize your ClickUp data before starting the import. Any lists you want to carry over to Teamwork.com must exist within ClickUp folders. Lists that are not in folders will be skipped during import.
  • Pick a transfer day: Technically, you can reimport (see above) but it can get tricky depending on where you’ve added new content. So our recommendation? Tell your team when the import is happening and have a clean cut off date for the data transfer.
  • Manage change: Switching tools isn’t just about moving data over, help your team by following some good change management basics: explain why the change is happening, tell people what they have to look forward to (what made you switch!), provide clear timelines and expectations and help equip your team with training.
