How to integrate Bubble.io with Time Doctor?

Step 1: Create an account with both Bubble.io and Time Doctor
To integrate Bubble.io with Time Doctor, you need to first create an account at both Bubble.io and Time Doctor if you don’t have one already. Go to https://bubble.io/register and https://www.timedoctor.com/signup.html respectively to create your account.

Step 2: Develop or choose your application in Bubble
The next step is to develop or choose the application in Bubble.io which you wish to integrate with Time Doctor.

Step 3: Get API Credentials for your Time Doctor account
You will need to generate API credentials at Time Doctor to use for the integration.

  • Navigate to your Time Doctor account
  • Click on Company Settings
  • Then select API Token on the left side menu

An API token should be displayed. If not, create one. These credentials will allow Bubble to access your Time Doctor data.

Step 4: Perform the integration in Bubble.io
Once you have your API token, go back to Bubble.io to make the integration.

  • In your app editor, go to Plugins tab
  • Click on Add Plugin
  • Search for 'Zapier' and install the plugin. You will use this to set up a connection between Bubble.io and Time Doctor

Once the Zapier plugin is installed, you should be able to action Zaps from Bubble.

Step 5: Create a Zap in Zapier
Now, you need to create a Zap to send data from Bubble.io to Time Doctor.

  • Go to https://zapier.com/app/dashboard and click on 'Make a Zap' button
  • On the Choose App & Event section, for the 'Connect this app...' field, search for 'Bubble' and choose it. For choosing a trigger event, select 'New Data Trigger'
  • For the 'Choose App & Event' of the 'Do this...' section, choose 'Time Doctor' and for the Action Event, you might want to choose 'Create Task', 'Create Project' or another action according to your need
  • Next, you should customize your output data, depending on your chosen action. For instance, if it's 'Create Task', you should fill essential fields like 'Task Name', and optionally others like 'Task Description'

That's it! Now your Bubble.io app should have access to your Time Doctor account through Zapier.

Step 6: Test Integration
After you integrated both systems, run some tests to ensure that the integration is working correctly. For instance, if you set up a zap to create a task in Time Doctor based on a new data trigger in Bubble, create some new data in Bubble and see if a corresponding task is created in Time Doctor.

Please, be aware that there might have some limited functionalities depending on the current API settings of both Bubble.io and Time Doctor. In case you encounter any difficulty during the integration process, you should contact both Bubble.io and Time Doctor support for assistance.

Note: This guide assumes the existence of a plugin or native integration that allows Time Doctor to interact with Bubble.io via their API. If this is not the case, you may need to code this integration yourself or hire a professional to do it for you, which is beyond the scope of this guide.
