Getting Started

This integration creates a workflow with a McTime trigger and OpenAI (ChatGPT) action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

  1. Select this integration
  2. Configure the New Time Entry Started trigger
    1. Connect your McTime account
    2. Configure timer
  3. Configure the Create Vector Store action
    1. Connect your OpenAI (ChatGPT) account
    2. Optional- Select one or more File IDs
    3. Optional- Configure Name
    4. Optional- Configure Expiration Days
    5. Optional- Configure Metadata
  4. Deploy the workflow
  5. Send a test event to validate your setup
  6. Turn on the trigger

Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event each time a new time entry is started
Version:0.0.1
Key:mctime-new-time-entry-started

McTime Overview

The McTime API provides functionality for tracking and managing time-related data. With McTime integrated into Pipedream, you can automate processes involving employee scheduling, time tracking, and payroll. Leverage Pipedream's ability to connect with hundreds of apps to link time data with project management tools, accounting software, and communication platforms, streamlining workflow efficiencies and reducing manual timekeeping errors.
