That's it! The TrackingTime Button will magically appear inside the enabled tools.
⚠️ Almost all integrations will work exclusively when using the Web versions of the listed tools below. Therefore, the buttons are not expected to appear on the Desktop Apps. The only exception is Trello, as that integration will work in both web and desktop versions.
No set-up required
The best part about the TrackingTime Button is that there is no setup required. It just works.
When you start tracking a task inside Basecamp, Asana, Smartsheet, or any of the supported apps listed below, the Button will automatically identify the task and project you've selected and sync this data to your TrackingTime account. If the task (or project) doesn't exist in your account yet, we'll automatically create them on the fly using the names we detected.
How we try to detect the right task and project names varies depending on the app you're using. For instance, if you're using a task management app like Todoist, Asana, or Airtable, we'll match projects and tasks in TrackingTime.
If you're using Gmail, there is no project information available. So in this case, we'll just create a task in TrackingTime using the title of the selected email as the task name.
⚠️ Renaming tasks or issues: If you change the name of a task or issue in the original app, the change may not automatically update the corresponding task in TrackingTime.
Depending on the integration, tracking the renamed item may result in a new task being created. To keep your time associated with the existing task, make sure its name is also updated in TrackingTime.
📝 The information or entities that are being pulled up with this integration from other apps are the Project and the Task names.
In case you'd like to import more information, such as Client names, Labels, or Ticket Numbers, it might be achieved using Zapier: an automation tool that connects different apps. Still, we discourage using both integrations (Zapier and the TrackingTime Extension Button) at the same time, since it could lead to unwanted copies of the same objects.
Customize the Button's behavior
You can choose whether clicking the TrackingTime Button immediately starts tracking the detected task or first opens the project and task selector.

📝 When this option is disabled, clicking the TrackingTime Button will start tracking the detected task right away, with a single click, without opening the project and task selection window.
