Clockify Trigger consultants

Q: What does the Clockify Trigger do?

The Clockify Trigger is an n8n node that watches your Clockify time tracking account for new events — such as when a time entry is started, stopped, or modified. When it detects a change, it automatically fires an n8n workflow, letting you react to time tracking events in real time without polling or manual checks.

Q: How does the Clockify Trigger connect with other business tools?

Because it runs inside n8n, the Clockify Trigger can kick off workflows that connect to virtually any other system. When a time entry is completed, you can automatically log it to a project management tool, update an invoice in Xero, send a summary to Slack, or append data to a Google Sheet. It acts as the starting point for any cross-platform workflow tied to time tracking events.

Q: Who uses the Clockify Trigger and what problems does it solve?

Agencies, consultancies, and service businesses that bill by the hour use the Clockify Trigger to eliminate manual timesheet processing. It solves the gap between tracking time and acting on that data — instead of exporting CSVs and copying hours into invoicing or reporting tools, the trigger automates that handoff as soon as time entries are logged.

Q: How do we set up the Clockify Trigger in n8n?

You add the Clockify Trigger node to an n8n workflow and authenticate it with your Clockify API key. Then you select which workspace and events to monitor (new time entry, timer stopped, etc.). Once activated, the trigger polls Clockify at your chosen interval and passes new event data into the rest of your workflow for processing.

Q: Can the Clockify Trigger handle multiple workspaces and projects?

Yes. You can configure the trigger to monitor a specific workspace, and you can filter by project within your n8n workflow logic. If you need to track events across multiple workspaces, you set up separate trigger nodes — one per workspace — each feeding into its own processing workflow or merging into a shared pipeline.

About Clockify Trigger

Clockify Trigger is the event-based node for Clockify, a free time tracking tool used by teams to log hours against projects, tasks, and clients. The trigger node in n8n fires whenever a new time entry is created, updated, or completed in Clockify, allowing you to build real-time automations around your team’s tracked time.

This is particularly useful for agencies and consultancies that bill by the hour. Instead of manually exporting timesheets and cross-referencing them with invoices, you can automate the entire chain. When a team member logs time, n8n can push that entry to your invoicing tool, update a project budget tracker, or alert a project manager when a task approaches its allocated hours.

Common workflows include syncing completed time entries to Xero or QuickBooks for invoicing, posting daily time summaries to a Slack channel for team visibility, and flagging time entries that exceed budget thresholds so project managers can intervene before costs blow out.

For Australian consulting firms and agencies, accurate time tracking directly affects profitability. We have seen businesses lose billable hours simply because time data sits in one tool and invoicing happens in another. Our business automation team at Osher builds these kinds of time-to-invoice pipelines regularly. If you are running a services business and want to close the gap between time tracking and billing, our AI consulting team can help you map out the right workflow. We also offer system integration services to connect Clockify with your accounting and project management tools.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Clockify Trigger

As Clockify Trigger consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Clockify Trigger with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Process Audit

We review how your team currently tracks time in Clockify — which workspaces and projects are active, how time entries are categorised, and where that data gets used downstream (invoicing, payroll, client reporting). This identifies every manual step between logging time and acting on it.

Step 2

Identify Automation Opportunities

Using the Clockify Trigger’s event detection capabilities, we pinpoint where automatic reactions to time entries can save your team effort. Common opportunities include auto-generating invoice line items when entries are completed, sending weekly timesheet summaries, and flagging entries that exceed project budgets.

Step 3

Design Workflows

We design n8n workflows with the Clockify Trigger as the starting node, mapping out exactly what should happen when time entries are created or updated. Each workflow specifies the data transformations, conditional logic, and destination systems — whether that is your accounting software, a Slack channel, or a client-facing dashboard.

Step 4

Implementation

We configure the Clockify Trigger node with your API credentials, set the correct workspace and event filters, and build out the downstream workflow steps in n8n. This includes setting up error handling, data formatting for destination systems, and any conditional routing based on project, client, or team member.

Step 5

Quality Assurance Review

We test the workflow by creating sample time entries in Clockify and verifying that the trigger fires correctly and data flows through each step without errors. We check edge cases like entries with missing fields, very short time entries, and simultaneous entries from multiple team members to confirm reliability.

Step 6

Support and Maintenance

After deployment, we monitor workflow execution logs in n8n and watch for Clockify API changes that might affect the trigger. When you add new projects, change billing structures, or connect additional downstream systems, we update the workflows to keep your time tracking automation running smoothly.
