Looking for a ClickUp client portal?
ClickUp is a powerful internal project management tool, but it was never designed to be a client portal. Guest access and public views are workarounds, not solutions.
The guest access problem
ClickUp gives you two imperfect options for sharing with clients:
Option A: Public views
- Completely view-only: no comments or interaction
- Anyone with the link can access (not secure)
- No way for clients to give feedback inline
Option B: Guest seats
- Clients see a complex PM interface they don't need
- Extra cost per guest on paid plans
- Can't hide comments or fields from guests
It's built for your team, not your clients
ClickUp is an internal project management tool. When you try to use it as a client portal:
Clients see your internal workflow
Guests can see task statuses, priorities, and workflow stages that are meant for your team. You can't fully control what's visible.
Guests can't see Spaces
Guests only see Folders, Lists, and Tasks they're invited to. There's no unified "portal" experience—just scattered access to project pieces.
Risk of accidental exposure
One wrong permission setting and internal comments, pricing details, or other client data could be visible. Comments and standard fields can't be hidden from guests.
Missing client collaboration tools
ClickUp excels at project management, but it lacks fundamental tools for professional client work:
No file approval workflows
No client messaging
No contracts or e-sign
Zero branding control
No matter how you configure guest access or public views:
Keep ClickUp. Add a real client portal.
Hubflo has a native ClickUp integration that automatically syncs tasks, comments, and statuses between your internal ClickUp workspace and your client-facing portal.
Your team stays in ClickUp. Your clients get a beautiful, branded portal.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about using Hubflo as your ClickUp client portal.
While you can technically invite clients as guests or share public views, ClickUp was designed for internal project management. Clients see a complex project management interface they don't need, guest seats cost extra, and you're missing fundamental client tools like messaging, file approval workflows, contracts, and invoicing. It's better to use a dedicated client portal that integrates with ClickUp.
