  • How Do I
  • Map multiple columns from Google Sheets to ClickUp fields, including standard and custom fields?

Hi, newbie here.

 

As a test, I am trying to have two columns of data in Google Sheets (Task Name, Description) map to a ClickUp task that has the same Fields.

 

Ultimately, the idea would be that anytime a new row is created in Sheets and the the columns are populated, a task will automatically be created in ClickUp.

 

I am having trouble getting anything more than the Task Name to populate in ClickUp (I can choose whatever data from Sheets and have it populate Task Name in ClickUp, but I can’t get any other fields do populate anything).

 

TIA.

Hi @smokncs, welcome to the Community! 🎉

Sorry to hear it’s not adding the necessary information from Google Sheets over to the task it’s creating in ClickUp. Would you mind sharing a quick screenshot of the setup of that Create Task action so I can see what fields and setting you’ve currently got selected? Please remove/hide any private information (like names, emails, addresses etc.) from any screenshots before sharing.

That’ll help me to check whether there’s any issues with the setup that might be causing some trouble here. Thanks, I look forward to your reply! 

Thanks for looking into this.

Sheets looks like this:

 

When exported to ClickUp, I get this:

 

I did put taskname + description together, which is why the 4th Task in ClickUp has the string that you see.

 

Here’s the Create Task in Zapier:

 

Here’s the Test:

 

 

Appreciate the help, thanks.

Hi @smokncs 

Looks like there are 2 “description” fields:

  • Task Description
  • Description

 

Are these two Description fields created by Zapier or pulled from ClickUp?

 

I’ve tried putting description into both.

 

One is asterisked and the other isn’t.

 

 

 

 

 

@smokncs 

The field with an * in your screenshot is: Task Name

The other screenshots show 2 different “description” fields with these field names:

  • Task Description
    • Appears to be a default Task field
  • Description
    • Appears to be a Custom Field

 

 

Try mapping the “Description” variable from GSheets to both and test. (process of elimination)

 

From your ClickUp screenshot, it’s unclear which “Description” field the ‘Description’ column relates to.

 

That did it, thanks!

Yay! 🎉 Thanks so much for following up here to confirm Troy’s suggestion did the trick, @smokncs. Really pleased you were able to get this sorted.

Great work here @Troy Tessalone! 🧡
