Time Tracking: Trello Integration

Hourly is the Trello time tracking power-up that enhances your workflow

Installing the Hourly power-up makes it easy to track time spent on each task, and faster for your team to manage their admin responsibilities. You can start an Hourly timer in any Trello card, see how much time has already been recorded on that card, and which of your teammates have also recorded time there. All time tracked in Trello appears in Hourly with the corresponding task ID and a link back to the card where the time was tracked.

Track time from Trello cards

Once you’ve added the Hourly time tracking power-up, you’ll be able to track time with a single click.

Add details with ease

The Hourly time tracking power-ups can remember what project you’re working on and defaults the task description to the Trello card you’re working on.

Keep track of work done

All the time in Trello that you've already recorded is visible on the card, keeping you across the work you've already done. You can also see your total hours for the current day while you work.

Everything is saved to Hourly

As time is logged in Trello, everything seamlessly and securely syncs back to Hourly for invoicing or custom reports. Time entries with associated Trello cards are shown on time pages with Trello icons and Trello card IDs. You can click on these to open the Trello card in a new browsers tab.

If you're unfamiliar with Trello...

Trello is a project management program that operates on a system of boards, lists, and cards, with each Trello board representing a project or a major task. On each board, lists are used to categorise and organise tasks or stages of a project. Cards, which are placed within lists, represent individual tasks or items to be completed. This hierarchical structure is intuitive and helps users visualise their work and manage projects across different team members and other stakeholders.

See how you spend your time using Trello

With Hourly, you can using the data recorded in Trello. Create reports grouped across team members, clients, and projects to see how your organisation actually spends its time. With a Trello card ID attached to each corresponding time entry, you'll be able to see which projects are moving through the pipeline as expected, and which are taking longer than first thought.
