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,
};
