Timing Overview#

The Timing app provides detailed time tracking capabilities, enabling users to automatically log time spent on various tasks and improve productivity. Using Pipedream’s integration, one could build workflows that trigger when new time entries are created, sync time data with other project management tools, or compile reports for invoicing and accountability. It's all about harnessing the power of automated time tracking to streamline processes.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "timing-new-project",
  name: "New Project Created",
  description: "Emit new event each time a new project is created",
  version: "0.0.1",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    generateMeta(project) {
      return {
        id: project.self,
        summary: `New Project: ${project.title}`,
        ts: Date.now(),
      };
    },
  },
  async run() {
    const { data } = await this.timing.listProjects();
    for (const project of data) {
      const meta = this.generateMeta(project);
      this.$emit(project, meta);
    }
  },
  sampleEmit,
};

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
Timing	`timing`	`app`	This component uses the Timing app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Trigger Authentication#

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

Zoho CRM Overview#

The Zoho CRM API enables the manipulation and retrieval of data within Zoho CRM, a platform for managing your sales, marketing, support, and inventory in a single system. Leveraging this on Pipedream, you can automate tasks like syncing contacts, updating lead statuses, or creating custom CRM operations that trigger actions in other apps. Pipedream's serverless platform allows for real-time data processing, transforming, and orchestrating workflows that respond to events in Zoho CRM with minimal latency.
