Hello,
I am a freelancer and I am hoping to improve my self-organisation and planning with the clockify scheduling feature.
I have tried to schedule re-occurring times and individual time slots. That is working fairly well. But the majority of my day are meetings. Thus, my time planning for the coming two weeks heavily depends on this meeting time. Are you planninng to add the outlook integration also for the scheduling view?
Assigning re-occurring meetings to projects or tasks would generally be tremendously helpful,not only for the scheduling but also for the time tracking.
Thank you for joining the forum and providing your suggestion along with the use case. I’ve submitted a feature request to our product’s team backlog for consideration in future updates. Thank you for your feedback.
While it’s not a native option, you could try automating software like Zapier or Make to set up a webhook trigger once an entry has been created manually, and the event to be the API call to create an assignment.
Set the "repeat" parameter to false to ensure it’s a one-time assignment.
Map the start and end times, as well as the projectId, from the webhook data.
The "hoursPerDay" field should be mapped to a custom field that represents the assignment’s duration. This value must be an integer, as required by the API.
The only thing that would be hard to map is the start time of the assignment.
You can use a project-specific custom field for the start time and map it during the API call.
Alternatively, you can choose not to include the start time in the API call.
Finally, you can copy the calendar event as a time entry, which would trigger the webhook and create an assignment based on that event.
Thank you for your feedback and thoughts on how the schedule can be improved via the calendar integration!
