Before You Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You need to create an account with Zapier first. They have different packages, but this is possible to use a free plan that allows creating up to 5 zaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have an account, you can find Everhour in the search or by following this link<\/a> and adding it to your apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Zapier Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zapier is often referred to as a translator between web APIs, as it allows you to create connections that push data between apps. So essentially, you tell the program, \u201cWhen I do this in A, do this in B<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you can easily move information between web apps and build your own workflows with just a few clicks, all without<\/strong> any coding or development experience. Which is great and incredibly convenient for users, especially if you are a non-technical founder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up the Zapier Integration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At this moment, Everhour offers 6 triggers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"everhour<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And 6 actions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"everhour<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Besides that, you can use 4 searches which are usually a step between a trigger and an action: Find Project, Task, Section, and Member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to connect Everhour to other integrations, you will start the process of a Zap creation. Everhour can serve as a trigger or an action, besides, you can have our app in both steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples of Zaps With Everhour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s try creating two simple Zaps together to demonstrate to you how to use our integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I want to check every day whether I have a running timer and stop it automatically when leaving the office if I forget to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Go to Zapier to create a new Zap;\n- Set a trigger (say a particular hour of the day); \n- To detect that, use a built-in app called \"Schedule\";\n- My settings: \"Every Day\" + \"7 pm\";\n- Create an action (i.e. what will happen); \n- I select \"Everhour\" and \"Stop timer\" as an action;\n- Authorize;\n- Save my Zap and activate it; \n- Now all timers will stop at 7 pm;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Case 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There is a customer asking for a demo. I schedule it through a Google Calendar and want to automatically create it as a task in my internal Everhour project to track time for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Go to Zapier to create a new Zap;\n- Set a trigger (new event from my Google calendar);\n- My settings: \"New event\" + \"My calendar name\";\n- Create an action (\"Create a task\" in Everhour);\n- I select a project, section and add the name of the task;\n- Authorize;\n- Save my Zap and activate it. \n- Now each time I book a new event, a new task appears in Everhour;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
