We are excited to present the new Lucidchart Live App for Quip! This app allows you to embed existing Lucidchart diagrams into your Quip workspace or create new diagrams using the embedded Lucidchart editor.
While the embedded editor is available to all users, only users on paid accounts can connect their Quip workspaces to their Lucidchart accounts. To upgrade, visit our pricing page or contact our sales team.
The following article walks through the Lucidchart functionality accessible within Quip. Additionally, existing hotspots, linked data, conditional formatting rules, and layers will function in Quip, but cannot be created in Quip. Revision History, Presentation Mode, ERD Import, AWS Import, UML Import, and Visio Import are not supported in Quip.
To connect, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Quip account.
- Open an existing document or create a new one.
- Enter the command @Lucidchart diagram and click
.
- Click
or select one of the diagram options and then click
.
Note: If you do not connect, you will not have access to your Lucidchart documents. You will still be able to create diagrams in Quip as an anonymous Lucidchart user, but your work will only be stored in Quip, not in Lucidchart. - Log in to Lucidchart (if you are not logged in already). If you do not have a Lucidchart account, follow the prompts to create one.
- In the next window, click
to grant Quip access to your Lucidchart account.
After this step, your Lucidchart account will be linked to your Quip account, and you will have full access to personal and team documents directly from your Quip workspace.
Note: You can disconnect your Lucidchart account at any point by clicking> Disconnect. Disconnecting will free up your Quip workspace to connect with a different Lucidchart account.
