ClickUp & PageProof connect
Opportunity
At DDB, all design workflows are managed in ClickUp, while all proofing is done in PageProof. Given the nature of the work, synchronization needs to be bi-directional and near real-time.
Solution
In close collaboration with DDB and PageProof, we developed a near real-time, bi-directional synchronization tool for ClickUp and PageProof. The solution is written in TypeScript, uses NodeJS, and is hosted on AWS.
At DDB, a leading global advertising agency, design workflows reside entirely within ClickUp, a popular project management tool. However, the final proofing of creative assets happened in PageProof, an industry-standard proofing platform. This disjointed approach led to several challenges:
- Time-consuming context switching: Teams wasted valuable time jumping between ClickUp and PageProof, hindering overall efficiency.
- Manual data entry errors: The need to manually transfer information between platforms increased the risk of errors and inconsistencies.
- Approval delays: Slow synchronization between systems caused delays in the approval process, impacting project timelines.
The Solution:
DDB partnered with code.store to develop a custom, real-time, bi-directional connector between ClickUp and PageProof. This innovative solution eliminated the need for manual data entry and ensured seamless communication between both platforms.
Benefits Achieved:
- Increased Efficiency: The streamlined workflow allowed DDB's design teams to focus on creative endeavours, significantly boosting productivity.
- Improved Accuracy: Eliminating manual data transfer minimised the risk of errors, ensuring data consistency across both platforms.
- Faster Approvals: Near real-time synchronisation between ClickUp and PageProof expedited the approval process, accelerating project completion.
- Enhanced Client Satisfaction: Faster turnaround times and a more efficient workflow translated directly into happier clients for DDB.
Technical Deep Dive (Optional):
The connector utilises webhooks, a technology that triggers automated updates between platforms whenever there's a change in ClickUp or PageProof. This ensures near real-time data synchronisation. Additionally, the solution leverages TypeScript, a robust programming language that enhances code maintainability, and NodeJS, a platform well-suited for scalable applications.
