To ClickUp
Official guide clickup.com · Tools: ClickUp Spreadsheets Importer
Moves: Sheet rows -> ClickUp tasks (partial); Row hierarchy (parent/subtask structure) (partial); Assignees, statuses and due dates (partial). clickup.com
Doesn't move: Formulas (exports bring values only); Smartsheet automations (must be rebuilt as ClickUp Automations); Attachments (dropped from Smartsheet exports; add via sheet backup); Predecessor dependencies (rebuilt manually as ClickUp Blocking/Blocked by). clickup.com
Watch out for:
- Duplicate tasks usually mean an export was imported twice clickup.com
- Unassigned items mean the Smartsheet email doesn't match the ClickUp account clickup.com
- Predecessors won't auto-transfer; recreate as dependencies and validate in Gantt view clickup.com
