Slack + Toggl Track

Start new Toggl Track entries when new messages are posted to private Slack channels

Start tracking your work time efficiently when a new message appears in your private Slack channel. With this workflow, every new message posted in a designated Slack private channel prompts the initiation of a new time entry in the Toggl Track app. It's an effortless way to ensure you're accurately monitoring the time spent on important tasks discussed privately in your team.
