Automate Toggl Track

Turn your Toggl Track entries into reports that arrive on their own: today's time each evening, the week grouped by client and project, last month's hours per client ready for invoicing, and a warning when a timer has been ticking far too long. Write the request to your AI assistant, approve what it says it will do, and the reports keep coming after that.

Create a ClickRuntime automation: every Friday at 4pm, email me my Toggl Track hours for this week, grouped by client and then by project.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Build your own

Build any Toggl Track automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Toggl Track should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every evening, look at my Toggl Track entries for today and tell me if any timer has been running for more than 4 hours.

Every Friday, export my Toggl Track hours per project into a Google Sheet, one row per project per week.

Every week, compare Toggl Track hours against each client's retainer in a Google Sheet and send me a Slack message listing clients who are over.

Beyond chat

Have Toggl Track work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Toggl Track to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Toggl Track

Toggl Track connects with the API token from your own profile. Nothing needs to be installed in your workspace.

Toggl Track

Time tracking

  1. In Toggl Track, open your Profile settings.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and copy your API Token.
  3. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, go to Connections & secrets and save the token as a Toggl Track secret.

Good to know

Toggl Track limits that affect automations

  • The token is tied to one user, so automations see that person's entries and running timer. The long-timer alert only covers the token owner, not teammates.
  • Report durations come back in seconds and are converted to hours before they are sent.
  • Anyone holding the token can act as you in Toggl Track. If it leaks, reset it in your profile and save the new one.

FAQ

Questions about automating Toggl Track

What can these automations read in Toggl Track?
Your own time entries, the timer you have running and summary reports grouped by client or project. The ready-made automations only read, they don't edit or delete entries.
Will the long-timer alert nag me every half hour?
No. It checks every 30 minutes, but it remembers which entry it already warned you about, so one forgotten timer produces one email.
Can I get my team's time, not just mine?
These automations work from your personal token, so they report on what you tracked. They don't cover teammates' timers.
Does the monthly summary help with invoicing?
Yes. On the first of the month it sends last month's hours per client, which is what most freelancers need to raise invoices.
Is any AI needed?
No. These reports just total and group your time. If you later add a written summary, it uses the AI that comes with your ClickRuntime plan, without a separate key.
Is this a Toggl Track connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Toggl Track data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Toggl Track while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Toggl Track event.
