How do I log a time entry to Toggl from a workflow?
Short answer: You can create time entry in Toggl Track by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Toggl Track 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 Toggl Track?
Creates a time entry in Toggl Track with description, project, tags, and duration. Common pattern: convert calendar events or support tickets into billable time automatically.
What inputs does Create Time Entry require?

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 Toggl Track returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Toggl Track 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 Toggl Track's rate limits.
