Calendar drafts

If your day is full of meetings, Time Trakkr can turn calendar events into draft time entries. You connect your own calendar, and drafts appear on your timesheet for you to confirm or dismiss. Nothing is logged until you say so.

Connecting your calendar

The connection is personal: it links your calendar only, and each teammate connects their own.

  1. Open Integrations from the sidebar, or your profile's Security tab.
  2. Find the Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar card. Its badge reads Not connected.
  3. Select Connect and complete the sign-in.

Access is read-only and covers your primary calendar on Google or your default calendar on Outlook. Time Trakkr never changes your calendar; it only reads events to suggest entries.

Drafting from your calendar

There are two ways drafts get created.

  • On demand. On the timesheet, select Draft from calendar for the day you are viewing. While it works, the button reads "Reading calendar…" and then draft rows appear.
  • Automatically each morning. Once your calendar is connected, Time Trakkr drafts the previous activity for you at 7am in your own timezone. If you have not set a personal timezone, it uses the workspace timezone instead. You will find the drafts waiting in the calendar drafts panel when you open your timesheet.

If there is nothing to draft, you will see "No calendar events found for this day."

Confirming and dismissing

Drafts appear under the heading Calendar drafts — confirm to log. Each row shows the event title and a suggested number of hours, with dropdowns to set the project and task. To create a project on the spot, choose + New project… in the project dropdown.

  • Select Confirm on a row to turn that draft into a real time entry.
  • Select Dismiss to remove a draft without logging anything.

To handle several at once, tick the rows you want, set a project and task in the bulk bar, and select Apply to selected. Then select Confirm followed by the count, for example "Confirm 3 selected," to log them all together.

It remembers your classifications

When you confirm a draft, Time Trakkr remembers how you classified that event. The next time a meeting with the same title comes around, the draft arrives already pointed at the same project and task, so recurring meetings need no re-sorting. When this happens you will see a note such as "2 remembered from before" alongside the newly created drafts. This matching is instant and does not depend on the AI.

Drafts are only ever suggestions. Because every one waits for your Confirm, your timesheet stays accurate even when your calendar is messy. For logging time by asking in plain language instead, see the AI assistant.
