Your ClickUp Task Status — Inside HubSpot. No Tab-Switching.

Viraj··4 min read

Every HubSpot-ClickUp integration runs in the background. You set it up, it syncs, and you hope it's working. If something breaks, you find out later — usually when a client asks why their project hasn't started.

That's always been the problem. Not the sync. The visibility.

What the App Card actually is

Open any deal in HubSpot. In the right sidebar, you now see a card showing:

  • The linked ClickUp task name
  • Whether the last sync succeeded or failed
  • When it last synced
  • A button that opens the ClickUp task directly — one click, new tab, you're there

That's it. No new tab to check if sync is working. No logging into a dashboard somewhere. You see the status every time you look at a deal.

Why this matters more than it sounds

If you're using Zapier, Make, Unito, or even the native ClickUp integration — all of them work the same way. You set them up, they run externally, and your CRM has no idea they exist.

The deal record in HubSpot looks the same whether your sync is running perfectly or has been broken for three weeks.

With the App Card, the sync status is part of the deal record. Your sales team sees it. Your ops team sees it. Nobody has to ask "did the task get created?"

The workflow difference

Without the card (current reality for most teams):

  1. Open the deal in HubSpot
  2. Copy the deal name or ID
  3. Switch to ClickUp
  4. Search for the task
  5. Find the right one (hopefully)
  6. Check the status

Six steps, three tabs, two minutes. Every time.

With the card:

  1. Open the deal in HubSpot
  2. Glance at the sidebar

The task name is there. The status is there. If you need to open it — one click.

What the card shows in each state

The card adapts based on what's actually happening:

Not set up yet: If the portal doesn't have ClickSync installed, the card says so and links to setup. It doesn't pretend there's an error.

Setup needed: If ClickUp isn't connected or no sync pair is configured, the card tells you specifically what's missing. Not "error" — "ClickUp workspace not connected" or "no sync pair configured."

Synced: Green. Task name. Last synced timestamp. "Open in ClickUp" button.

Error: Warning. What went wrong. Task name still visible. Both "Open in ClickUp" and "View Details" buttons so you can fix it.

This kind of progressive state detection — where the card runs through 5 checks to tell you exactly what step is broken — is something I built because every other integration just says "error" and leaves you guessing.

The competitive gap nobody is talking about

I've tested every HubSpot-ClickUp integration. Zapier, Make, Unito, and the native integration. None of them have a presence inside the CRM.

Think about that. You install Zapier. It runs in a separate tab. Your CRM doesn't know it exists. Your team doesn't see it. There's no visual feedback that sync happened, is happening, or broke.

ClickSync is the only HubSpot-ClickUp integration with a sidebar card inside the CRM. Not because the others couldn't build one — but because none of them did.

This is on the free plan

The App Card ships with ClickSync Free. No credit card. No trial countdown. Install, configure, and the card appears on your deal records.

Free tier: 1 sync pair, 100 records, all features including the App Card.

If you want to see what it looks like before installing — I have a 60-second walkthrough video showing exactly what you get.

How to add the card after installing

One thing that isn't obvious: the card doesn't appear automatically after you install ClickSync. A portal admin needs to add it manually:

  1. Go to HubSpot Settings → Objects → Deals → Record Customization
  2. Click "Default View"
  3. Click "Add Cards from Library"
  4. Find the ClickSync card and add it

Takes 30 seconds. After that, every deal record shows the card in the sidebar.

What it doesn't do

Honest list:

  • Only works on Deal records right now. Not Contacts, Tickets, or Companies.
  • Shows sync status — doesn't let you trigger a sync from the card (yet).
  • Read-only. You can't edit the ClickUp task from inside HubSpot.
  • Requires the ClickSync integration to be set up. The card is a window into the sync — not a replacement for it.

If all you need is "did the task get created and is the sync working," the card answers that in two seconds without leaving HubSpot.

Free forever. No credit card. No trial countdown.

1 sync pair, 100 records, all features. Upgrade to Pro ($29/month) when you outgrow it.
