Currently, adding people to a ClickUp Chat Channel requires selecting users individually. For Channels that represent a functional team, squad, or project group, this becomes time-consuming and error-prone. It also makes ongoing access management harder because membership can drift over time as teams change.

Large Channels are common for cross-functional projects and operational coordination.

Manual selection increases the likelihood of missing stakeholders or adding the wrong people.

Maintaining membership over time is difficult when new members join a team, since they must be added again manually.

Requested capability:

Add the ability to add a Team/Group (ClickUp Team entity) to a Channel, such that:

Adding a Team adds all current team members to the Channel.

Optionally, provide a toggle:

Sync membership (auto-add/remove members as the team changes)

One-time add (snapshot add only)

Support both:

Regular Channels

Location-based Channels (with clear handling of location permissions)

Suggested UX:

In the Channel Followers/Add people modal, allow selecting:

Individuals

Teams/Groups

Display a confirmation summary: “Add Team X (23 members)”

Expected outcome / benefits:

Faster Channel setup

More reliable access management

Reduced administrative overhead and fewer mistakes

So far, you can only add individuals to a chat - it would be better to be able to activate entire teams automatically. What kind of added value does “chat” have if you can't activate “teams” for it. That's when you forget someone and they don't even hear the messages

We create a channel for each team, but when any new member joins the team, we have to add them to the team and then add them to the team's channel. It would be a time saver if, as soon as you add them to the team, they are automatically added to all channels that are shared with that team.

This would provide parity with Okta/SCIM API <> Slack experiences to ensure certain populations are are auto-enrolled as followers to a channel. This would provide parity with new hire, regional, office, and location based channels at minimum and would greatly enhance team-specific and private channels involving large departments.

Allow teams to be followers in a chat to save time. Currently, we have to add individuals one by one, and if there are 30 people, it becomes time-consuming and frustrating. If we could add an entire team at once, the process would be much more efficient.

We need ability to add members using Teams instead of adding them manually.

E.g - 2 departments PM and Sales have their own spaces. But need to have a chat together. So once chat created I should only peek 2 teams as a members instead of manually picking everyone.

Thanks!
