Frequently Asked Questions about Timely + Google Chat integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Timely and Google Chat
How do I set up the integration between Timely and Google Chat?
To set up the integration, you will first need to create a Zap using our platform. Start by selecting Timely as the trigger app and choose a specific event, such as 'New Time Entry.' Then, select Google Chat as the action app and pick an action like 'Send Message.' Follow the on-screen instructions to authenticate both applications and configure your trigger and action settings.
Can I customize the message sent to Google Chat from Timely?
Yes, our integration allows you to customize messages sent from Timely to Google Chat. When setting up your action in the Zap configuration, you can tailor the message content using data fields from your Timely trigger event. This way, each message can include specific project details or time entry notes.
What are common triggers available for Timely in this integration?
When integrating with Google Chat, common triggers for Timely include 'New Time Entry,' 'Updated Time Entry,' and 'Deleted Time Entry.' These triggers allow you to automate communication through Google Chat based on changes in your time tracking data.
Are there any prerequisites for using this integration effectively?
To use this integration effectively, ensure that both your Timely account and Google Workspace account are properly set up. You will also need active access credentials for both services in order to complete authentication during setup on our platform.
Do I need technical skills to configure this integration?
You don't need advanced technical skills to configure this integration. Our user-friendly interface guides you through each step of creating a Zap between Timely and Google Chat. You simply connect apps with easy-to-follow setup details.
How can I test if the integration is working correctly?
After setting up your Zap, use our built-in testing feature to ensure that everything operates smoothly. Initiate a test by performing an action in Timely that acts as a trigger (like adding a new time entry). Confirm whether all actions execute successfully within Google Chat.
Is it possible to turn off notifications temporarily without deleting the Zap?
Yes, it's possible to disable notifications temporarily by turning off the corresponding Zap in our dashboard. You do not have to delete it; simply toggle its status as needed without losing your configured settings.
