Explore our step-by-step guide on seamlessly integrating Bubble.io with Toggl for efficient project and time management.
Toggl is a time tracking and reporting software that provides a professional and seemingly seamless display of necessary metrics. It is primarily used by freelancers, consultants, and small companies to track the time spent on various projects. It can record timelines of activities, perform bulk edits on time entries and generate detailed reports. It even provides features to schedule tasks and reminders. Toggl can be accessed via the web, a desktop widget, a Chrome extension, or a mobile app enabling time tracking from anywhere.

Step One: Get your Toggl API Token
First, sign in to your Toggl account and click on your profile picture at the bottom of the page. From there, select 'Profile settings' from the dropdown menu.
Scroll down to the section entitled 'API Token'. This token is unique to you and works like a password to your account.
Copy your API token and paste it somewhere for future purposes.
Note: Be careful not to share this token as it is extraordinarily sensitive and offers access to your Toggl account.
Step Two: Set up your Bubble.io app
Log in to Bubble.io and open your Bubble.io application.
Navigate to the 'Plugins' tab found on the left-hand side of your Dashboard.
Click 'Add Plugins', then search for 'Toggl' and click to install it.
Step Three: Connect Toggl to Bubble.io
Once installed, click on Toggl, and you should see a new menu appear.
Paste your API token from Toggl into the field labeled 'API Token'.
Click on 'Initialize Plugin' to confirm the settings and establish a connection between Toggl and Bubble.io.
Step Four: Set up Toggl actions on Bubble.io
Now, you can use the Toggl API within your Bubble.io application.
To do this, you'll need to create a new 'Event' within the Bubble.io workflow. From the 'Choose an action' drop-down menu, you'll be able to select various actions related to Toggl.
Choose the Start a new Time Entry action if you want to create a new time entry in Toggl when a certain event happens in your Bubble.io app.
Fill in the details of the time entry, such as the description and project, using either static values or dynamic data from your Bubble.io app.
Step Five: Check your Toggl account
After setting up the Toggl action in the Bubble.io's workflow, verify it by triggering that particular event in your Bubble.io application.
Upon doing so, you should see a new time entry in your Toggl profile. If you don't see the time entry, double-check the Toggl and Bubble.io setup steps.
Step Six: Set up further integrations (optional)
Remember you can repeat steps four and five to set up more Toggl actions in your Bubble.io app. You can also set up more Bubble.io to Toggl connections using other Toggl API endpoints.
And that's it! You have successfully integrated Bubble.io with Toggl.
Scenario: A software development company uses Bubble.io for prototyping and building software applications for its clients. The development team also uses Toggl to track time spent on various tasks and projects. However, they are finding it difficult to manually input and correlate the time tracked in Toggl with the projects built in Bubble.io. They want to automate this synchronization so they can better manage projects and accurately bill their clients.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Toggl
Proposed Application Creation: The company uses Bubble.io to prototype and build various software applications based on its clients' requirements.
Setting Up the Integration: The development company installs the Toggl plugin in Bubble.io and sets it up with the Toggl API key. They create workflows in Bubble.io that trigger the start or stop of time-tracking in Toggl when specific actions are performed in a project.
Project and Time Tracking Synchronization: When a project's status in Bubble.io changes to in-development, the integration workflow automatically starts time tracking in Toggl with the project details. Similarly, when the project status changes to completed and the developer stops working on it, the workflow stops time tracking in Toggl.
Automatic Billing: At the end of each month, the company retrieves the accumulated time tracking data for each project from Toggl and automatically generates invoices for their clients.
Monitoring and Analytics: The integration between Bubble.io and Toggl allows the company to analyze the time spent on each project and the productivity of their team. This information helps them in better workforce planning, project management, and improving billing accuracy.
Benefits:
Efficiency: The integration automates the time tracking and billing process, reducing manual data entry and risk of errors.
Better Project Management: With Toggl's time-tracking data, the company can accurately determine project timelines and better manage their workload.
Improved Billing Accuracy: By tracking the actual time spent on each project, the company can bill its clients accurately and fairly.
Insightful Analysis: By correlating project details with time-tracking data, the company can identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and scope for improvement in their processes.
With Bubble.io integrated with Toggl, the software development company streamlines its project management, time tracking, and billing processes resulting in increased operational efficiency and improved client satisfaction.
