Zapier automatically processes your data in the background, so you can keep focusing on your work at all times. Simply set your \u201cZap\u201d once and forget about it \u2014 no extra work on your end.<\/p>\n<p>Read on for a step-by-step guide on using Zapier to send your Timing tasks to FreshBooks for invoicing. This process works just as well for a whole lot of other invoicing apps, of course! Plus, we&#8217;ll inspire you with several more ideas for integrating your Timing data with other apps.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example Zap: Turn Timing Tasks into FreshBooks Time Entries for Invoicing Your Clients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To give you a better feeling for what it&#8217;s like to use Zapier with Timing, let&#8217;s go step-by-step through creating an example Zap that automatically adds the tasks you create in Timing as time entries to FreshBooks. In FreshBooks, you can then add these time entries as line items to your invoices. If you are not using FreshBooks, don&#8217;t worry \u2014 the same process also works for many other invoicing and time-tracking tools!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that this guide expects that you already have accounts for <a href=\"https:\/\/zapier.com\">Zapier<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/freshbooks.com\">FreshBooks<\/a>.

From now on, Zapier should automatically check Timing for new tasks every 15 minutes and send those to FreshBooks. So, if your tasks aren&#8217;t appearing in FreshBooks right away, don&#8217;t worry \u2014 just check back in after half an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is just one of many examples for what you can do with Timing and Zapier. Read on for more examples!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Close the Loop: Mark Entries as &#8220;Billed&#8221; After Invoicing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your Timing time entries are flowing into FreshBooks (or whichever invoicing tool you use), there&#8217;s one more step worth building into your workflow: updating the <a href=\"https:\/\/timingapp.com\/help\/time-entries#toc-billing-status\">Billing Status<\/a> on those entries in Timing itself. The Billing Status field lets you tag each time entry as Not Billable, Billable, Billed, or Paid \u2014 so you always know exactly which hours still need to be invoiced, and which invoices you&#8217;re still waiting on payment for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The typical workflow looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Set a default status per project in Timing (for example, client projects default to &#8220;Billable,&#8221; internal projects to &#8220;Not Billable&#8221;) via the project editor. New time entries will pick up the correct status automatically.<\/li><li>When invoicing day arrives, filter for entries still marked &#8220;Billable&#8221; in Timing, let Zapier push them through to FreshBooks, and create your invoice.<\/li><li>Back in Timing, select the invoiced entries in any activity list, right-click, and choose <strong>Set Billing Status \u2192 Billed<\/strong> to update them in bulk.<\/li><li>When the client pays, update those same entries to <strong>Paid<\/strong> the same way.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>That way you&#8217;ll never bill the same hours twice, and you always have a clear view of which invoices are still outstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zapier &amp; Timing \u2014 More Integration Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect with Other Time Tracking Software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How frustrating is it when each of your clients has a different system they want you to track your time in? It can be difficult to work your best when you are constantly trying to remember which client wants you to track your time where. It\u2019s also a huge interruption that makes you less focused and productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have the perfect solution to make your clients happy while saving you the headache of logging in and out of different time tracking apps. Simply track all your time in Timing and have it export to the other apps, like <a href=\"https:\/\/zapier.com\/apps\/toggl-track\/integrations\">Toggl<\/a>. This way, your time is managed in one system and your clients get the time tracking details from their preferred app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post a Message to Slack Whenever You Start a Task<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With this Zap, you can easily keep up good communication.

Simply post a message to <a href=\"https:\/\/zapier.com\/apps\/slack\/integrations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Slack<\/a> whenever you start a task \u2014 without having to lift a finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Connect a <strong>&#8220;New Time Entry Started&#8221;<\/strong> Timing trigger.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/timingapp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Slack1-e1569364411290.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-881\" width=\"511\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timingapp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Slack1-e1569364411290.png 868w, https:\/\/timingapp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Slack1-e1569364411290-770x369.png 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>2.
