Getting Started#

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

Select this integration
Configure the New Time Entry Started trigger
1. Connect your McTime account
2. Configure timer
Configure the Get Component action
1. Connect your Pipedream account
2. Configure Component Key
3. Optional- Configure Pipedream Registry
Deploy the workflow
Send a test event to validate your setup
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.

New Time Entry Started on McTime

Description:Emit new event each time a new time entry is started

Version:0.0.1

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.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
McTime	`mctime`	`app`	This component uses the McTime app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

McTime uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your McTime account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to McTime APIs in both code and no-code steps.

About McTime#

McTime's time recording helps small and large teams to record and evaluate project hours or absences. Fully automatic time recording included!

Pipedream Overview#

Pipedream is an API that allows you to build applications that can connect to
various data sources and processes them in real-time. You can use Pipedream to
create applications that can perform ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) tasks,
as well as to create data-driven workflows.

Some examples of applications you can build using the Pipedream API include:

An application that can extract data from a database, transform it, and then
load it into another database.
An application that can monitor a data source for changes, and then trigger a
workflow in response to those changes.
An application that can poll an API for new data, and then process that data
in real-time.

Action Code#

export default {
  key: "pipedream-get-component",
  name: "Get Component",
