Harvest Overview#

Harvest is a time tracking and invoicing tool that can streamline the way freelancers and businesses record time for various projects and tasks. By leveraging the Harvest API on Pipedream, you can automate complex workflows that integrate time tracking data with other business tools. Generate reports, sync project data, and manage invoices with minimal manual intervention. Pipedream's serverless platform lets you create these automations using simple, code-driven components, enabling a seamless connection between Harvest and a multitude of other apps.

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
Harvest	`harvest`	`app`	This component uses the Harvest app.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll Harvest API on this schedule
