How do I add a Clockify time entry?

Short answer: You can create time entry in Clockify by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Clockify Create Time Entry action to a workflow, map its 6 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Time Entry.

What does the Create Time Entry action do in Clockify?

Posts a duration-based entry with project, task, tags, billable flag. Useful for "calendar meeting marked as billable → auto-log time in Clockify" or for batch-importing time from external sources.

What inputs does Create Time Entry require?

Required: Workspace ID, Start Time, End Time. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Clockify returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Clockify returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Time Entry support batch operations?

Run Create Time Entry inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Clockify's rate limits.
