Notepad

You can also access your ClickUp notes from any page. Open the extension to the Notepad tab, and all of your notes are available from ClickUp. Your notes will sync across all your devices. Use Markdown Shortcuts and Rich Text in any note.

When hovering over a note, you will be able to rename the note, archive, delete, and convert the note to a task.

While inside a note, at the bottom are the options to see earlier versions of the note, open the fullscreen editor, as well as the option to convert the note to a task.

The ClickUp button gives you quick access to the Notepad, Bookmarks, Screenshots, Time Tracking, and creating a task from any webpage.

To move the button, click and drag it to any spot on the page.

To hide the button, hover over the x icon. You can choose to hide the button for the current session, always for the current website you're on, or turn them off all together.

I use this quite a lot to connect my emails to the associated tasks. I really enjoy it when it works, and it does work most of the time, for which I'm deeply thankful. It's a GREAT app. It stopped working about the same time as the new update, version 1.10.4 and I'm waiting excitedly for when these developers fix whatever bugs are keeping it from working. The work-around that I do whenever this extension is not working is this: 1. Create a task on the appropriate list in Clickup and save it. 2. At the right side of the saved task, click on the 3-dot menu. 3. From the popup menu, "Send email to task". 4. It will copy the email address in the clipboard. As a confirmation, at the bottom left of the screen a notification will appear confirming that it has been copied. 5. Go back to the email-that-you-want-attached in your Gmail account. 6. (optional, which I do), Copy the body text of the email and paste it into the description area of the task in Clickup. Also, copy and paste any images that you want to be in the Clickup task.) 7. Back in the email in Gmail, forward the email. 8. In the forwarded email, paste email address from the Clickup task. 9. Look through the text of the about-to-be-forwarded email and delete anything that you don't want in Clickup and tidy it up, if necessary. (The forwarding action sometimes puts in unnecessary clutter. 10. Press the send button on the email. 11. Go to the chosen task in Clickup and check that the email has been attached. The text of the email is put into the Comments section. (Note, Since I prefer to have the text of the email in the description area of the task, that is why I added step 6 above.) You should be done now. Just double check it to make sure everything worked correctly.

This extensions has known bugs. Like the Floating button that is now missing, so you can't close the extension's UI if you accidentally open it on gmail, neither move it around to your needs. Waiting to see how long devs take to fix this. Than maybe i'll change my review, let's see...

It's a constant nightmare. It rarely works properly and most of the time it won't even let me log into it. Such a disappointment.
