Integrate your calendars with Timesheets for seamless time management

From Team '23

Tempo Team

For any organization, accurate time tracking is essential, yet it can often feel time consuming and disruptive. 

Luckily there is a simple and speedy solution: Integrating your working calendars (like Google or O365) with Timesheets.

It takes the hassle out of your time management, streamlines your workflows, and helps you and your teams stay focused on the work that matters instead of admin. 

Here are the two main reasons you should take a few moments to integrate your calendars:

Make your admin easy

If AI and automation can teach us anything over the last few decades of technological advancement, it is that we really don’t like doing things manually and will do all that we can to speed up our processes.

Calendar integrations automatically pull all your events, appointments, and meetings into your timesheets as soon as they are scheduled. Instead of jumping back and forth between tabs to see what you did this week to build your timesheets – it’s already done for you.

Accurate billing

For organizations in service-based industries, you need to know where every single hour goes when it comes to your clients’ time. Calendar integrations ensure that all client-facing meetings and internal planning sessions are recorded, supporting seamless compliance and precise invoicing.

If you need a verifiable record of working hours and want to avoid any discrepancies in your invoicing – getting your calendars integrated with Timesheets is a simple and easy win for your teams.

How to do it

Calendar integrations can be easily turned on at the user level as well as the global level by your Jira admin.

Route one

  1. Click the gear icon at the top right and select “Settings”

  2. You should see a dropdown list of all providers you can integrate with – click the pencil icon and choose your calendar of choice

  3. That’s it! You’re connected

Route two

  1. Click the “Apps” icon on the left-hand bar and choose which calendar to install by scrolling to it and selecting “install”

  2. Choose between enhanced automated calendar or simple functionality

  3. Choose the right Google account, enable access for Tempo and you are good to go!

Once you’ve enabled calendars, don’t forget to go to your filters icon on the right hand side and check the box for the calendar you want to see or you won’t get visual updates on your Timesheets – it’ll be unchecked by default.

Don’t worry, not every event gets instantly logged. Just hover over each event and click the checkmark to confirm it to your timesheet. This isn't final either – you can uncheck it at any time and it won’t remove it from your calendar – it will just revert back to its original unconfirmed state.

You can also just click “Log Activities” to confirm all your events for the day in a single swoop – although events that aren’t connected to a Jira issue will ask for a quick review. This also works for the entire week under “Log All Activities”. 


Elevate your time tracking with Calendar integrations in Timesheets

By connecting Timesheets with tools like O365 and Google Calendar, your organization can build a more seamless workflow that saves time, improves accuracy, and ultimately boosts productivity across the board.

Give it a go – it only takes a few minutes and you’ll get instant results.
