Proofing in Slack, Jira, Asana and ClickUp: A Setup Guide

Creative teams already live in a project tool and a chat app. Adding a separate place for proof review means one more tab and one more thing to forget. GoProof connects to the tools you already use, and every integration is included on every plan.

This guide covers four of them: Slack, Jira, Asana and ClickUp. For each, you will see what it does and how to set it up. The steps come from the GoProof integration pages, so check the screens in your own account, as wording may differ slightly.

Which one should you use?

• Slack: you want the team to see proofing activity as it happens, without watching email.
• Jira: proofs belong to issues, and you want approval status to show on the issue.
• Asana: you manage creative work as tasks and want to start a job or proof from the task.
• ClickUp: you run your workspace in ClickUp and want proofing notifications there.

You can connect more than one. Most teams pick the tool where their work is already tracked and add Slack on top.

Slack

What it does: sends GoProof notifications to Slack so people see new proofs, comments and decisions without checking email. It also lets you sign in to GoProof with Slack single sign-on.

Set up:

1. Log in to GoProof and open Apps from your profile name in the top-right corner.
2. Enable the Slack card, log in to Slack and allow the connection.
3. Open Notification settings and tick the options you want in the Chat column.

Start with a short list of notifications. Everything switched on at once becomes noise. More detail on the Slack integration page.

Jira

What it does: links GoProof proofs to Jira issues. Approval status syncs back to the issue, the GoProof Status and GoProof Link fields are filled in, and status changes appear as comments. You can also pull an issue's attachments into GoProof as proofs, or create a new issue from a summary.

Set up:

1. In GoProof, open Apps, then the Jira card, and sign in with Atlassian. Approve read and write access to your Jira site.
2. On a task, click Link to Jira, then choose a site, project and issue. Or enter a summary to create a new issue.

If your Atlassian access expires, reconnect from the Apps page. See the Jira integration page.

Asana

What it does: lets you create GoProof jobs and proofs from Asana tasks and view them from the task. Reviewers can approve creative work without you upgrading Asana.

Set up:

1. In GoProof, open Apps, enable the Asana card, log in to Asana and allow the connection.
2. In an Asana project, click Customize, choose Apps, search for GoProof and click Add to project.
3. On a task, use the Create option to start a job, or add files and create a proof.

ClickUp

What it does: adds proofing notifications to ClickUp and brings the review and approval workflow into your workspace.

Set up:

1. In GoProof, open Apps and enable the ClickUp card.
2. Log in to ClickUp, select the workspaces to link and click Connect Workspace.

Check the ClickUp integration page for which events are sent in your setup.

Getting the most from integrations

• Decide where the single source of truth lives. Usually that is the project tool, with GoProof holding the proof and the approval record.
• Keep chat notifications to the events that need action, such as a proof waiting for a decision.
• Test with one project before rolling out to the team.

GoProof also works with monday.com, Trello, Basecamp, Microsoft Teams, Figma, Canva and Zapier. The full list is on the integrations page.
