Starting a new venture? Need to upgrade your web or mobile app? RapidDev builds Bubble apps with your growth in mind.
Step 1: Starting with Bubble.io
The integration process begins on the Bubble.io platform, which is where you develop your application. If you don't have a Bubble.io account, you can go to their website (https://bubble.io) and register for a new account. You can either choose the option of making a free account or pay for monthly subscriptions.
Step 2: Create a New App on Bubble.io
Once you have your account set up, log in and go to the dashboard. After logging in to your Bubble.io account, choose 'My apps' from the Dashboard. On this page, select "New Application." Fill in the required details and select 'Create a new app.'
Step 3: Accessing the Plugin Tab
The next step is to include the RescueTime API in your new application. On your Dashboard, select your App and switch to the Design tab. On the left panel, you will see the Plugins option. Click on it and click on “Add plugins.”
Step 4: Searching for RescueTime Integration
To integrate Bubble.io with RescueTime, locate the RescueTimebox from the list of plugins. Since Bubble.io doesn't have in-built support for integrating RescueTime, it is necessary for you to find a plugin that can achieve the desired integration.
Step 5: Installing the Plugin
Click on the plugin, read the details, and install it to your application. Once you’ve installed the plugin, your Bubble.io application now has the necessary tools to connect with RescueTime.
Step 6: Setup RescueTime Account
Create a RescueTime account if you haven't done so already. You can do this by going to their website (https://www.rescuetime.com) and following the instructions provided for creating a new account.
Step 7: Acquire RescueTime API Key
Once your RescueTime account is active, log in and navigate towards Settings. Under the API section, generate a new API key. Ensure that you note down this API key as it is essential for the integration process.
Step 8: Integrating RescueTime with Your Bubble.io App
Return to the Bubble.io platform and go back to your "Plugin" settings. Locate the settings for the RescueTime integration plugin and input the API key which you got from RescueTime in the required field.
Step 9: Save and Apply Your Settings
After applying your RescueTime API Key to the Bubble.io plugin, confirm and save these settings. This should integrate RescueTime into your Bubble.io application.
Step 10: Testing Out the Integration
Once you've integrated RescueTime into your Bubble.io application, you should test it out. This testing process involves triggering an action in your Bubble.io app that uses RescueTime. If you receive the expected outcome, then the integration has been successful.
Remember, you need to align the functionality of your application with the purpose of the RescueTime API. This API gives you insights about your daily habits and productivity. Therefore, you should only call this API when necessary, and within the context of your application.
NOTE: This is a hypothetical guide as Bubble.io does not directly support RescueTime's API through a native plug-in. You may need to write code or use other API connector plugins to help with this process. Always consider your level of technical expertise and consult with a developer if necessary. Ensure you comply with the terms and conditions of both platforms when creating applications.
Scenario: A web development company uses Bubble.io to develop custom websites and applications for their clients. To manage and track their team's productivity accurately and efficiently, they also use RescueTime. They want to integrate these two platforms to automatically monitor how much time each team member spends working on a project in Bubble.io.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with RescueTime
Bubble.io Project Management:
The company uses Bubble.io to create and manage their web development projects. Each project is assigned to different team members who work on specific tasks within the project.
Setting up the Integration:
The company adds RescueTime plugin onto Bubble.io and configures it with their RescueTime API key.
They then create a workflow within Bubble.io that triggers every time a team member starts, pauses, or completes a task.
Productivity Tracking Workflow:
When a team member begins working on a task, the workflow is initiated. The Bubble.io project and the task information are sent to RescueTime using the configured plugin action.
On RescueTime, a new activity is launched where the task duration is tracked.
Work Completion and Pausing of Tasks:
If a team member pauses a task, the workflow sends an update to RescueTime, and the activity tracking is paused. When they complete a task, this progress is also updated on RescueTime.
Productivity Analysis in RescueTime:
In RescueTime, the company gets an overall view of how their team is spending time on Bubble.io projects.
For each team member, they can see which tasks they are spending more time on. They can then make necessary rearrangements to optimize productivity.
Monitoring and Analytics:
The integration allows seamless tracking of time spent on each project within RescueTime.
The company can monitor the productivity and efficiency of the team, understanding when they are most productive, and making data-driven decisions to optimize their workflow.
Benefits:
Efficiency: Integrating Bubble.io with RescueTime simplifies the process of tracking employees' productivity, saving time on manual monitoring.
Insightful Data: The integration provides detailed data about how time is spent, enabling the company to identify bottlenecks and create more efficient workflows.
Real-time Monitoring: The corporation can track their team's productivity in real-time, allowing for immediate adjustments if necessary.
By integrating Bubble.io and RescueTime, the web development company can streamline project management, accurately track team productivity, and make informed decisions to improve efficiency and overall productivity.
