Track calendar events more easily and quickly

Your stopwatch keeps up with you. Meetings come and go. But time tracking often doesn’t start until afterward. That compromises accuracy. With the new features in Clockodo’s calendar integration, the stopwatch starts exactly when your appointment begins: no detours, no follow-up work.

The calendar integration now includes several intelligent functions and automations. They help you record appointments faster and more reliably. 

Note: Clockodo offers calendar add-ons for Google and Outlook (Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online). To transfer time entries from the calendar, project time tracking must be active.

Three practical improvements for the calendar integration

See appointments directly in the stopwatch 

Until now, you had to open the calendar view to start tracking time for an active appointment. Current appointments now appear directly on the stopwatch start page. This way, you move straight from the appointment to active time tracking. 

Intelligent suggestions for recurring appointments 

Always making the same choice at the weekly meeting? That’s a thing of the past. Clockodo recognizes recurring appointments such as regular meetings or fixed customer calls. When you have already created a time entry for such an appointment once, Clockodo suggests the matching customer, project and service automatically in the future. The appointment title is used as the description, as usual. This saves time during entry and reduces repeated clicks. 

Start time tracking retroactively from the appointment start 

Are you already in the middle of a meeting before you remember to start the stopwatch? No problem. Clockodo lets you set the timer retroactively to the official start time of the meeting. If you start time tracking retroactively, Clockodo detects any potential overlaps with existing entries and can automatically resolve them. This way, you can track the actual duration without having to manually correct the time entry afterward.

How to use the calendar add-on

1. Connect your calendar with Clockodo: 

• Click your profile picture in the upper right corner and select “My add-ons.”
• Click your calendar provider: Microsoft Outlook or Google Calendar.
• Complete the authentication to allow Clockodo access to your calendar.
• Select the calendar that Clockodo should display. 

2. In the stopwatch or the calendar view of the timetable, click an appointment to start time tracking or transfer the appointment as a time entry. 

3. Optional: Set the start time to the appointment start if you begin the stopwatch late.
