ClickUp & PageProof connect

Business Apps

DDB manages internal design workflows in ClickUp and conducts all proofs in the top-tier tool PageProof. Recognizing the need for a more robust integration than what was available, DDB collaborated with code.store to implement an advanced connector.

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.
