How to track time in Todoist with Everhour
-
Step 1: Create an Everhour account
Sign up for free and install our browser extension. This is how we embed controls into the Todoist interface. We support all popular browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
-
Step 2: Connect Everhour and Todoist
After signup, Everhour will automatically sync all your shared projects. Personal projects (not shared with anyone) won’t be synchronised by Everhour and time cannot be tracked for these projects. Sync happens periodically so all new projects and to-dos that you create in Todoist will be visible in Everhour reports. Everhour also updates the names of tasks or projects if they were renamed in Todoist. This way Everhour reports will always show you the freshest data.
-
Step 3: Invite your team
You need to invite your team to join Everhour. They will also need to connect their Todoist accounts and install our browser extension. Only those you invite into Everhour will be able to track time and attendance and see time progress (not necessarily all Todoist users). Your clients or guests will not see anything in Todoist unless you invite them.
-
Step 4: Track time inside Todoist
You can track time using the timer or log time manually. You’ll see the time reported by each employee and its progress.
-
Step 5: Track time via free browser extension
You don't necessarily need to open Todoist or Everhour website. By clicking on the timer icon in the browser toolbar you can quickly start the timer, add time to any task, edit time or estimate, and more.
-
Step 6: Make custom reports with Todoist data
There are a number of columns that show specific data coming from Todoist. Open Todoist time tracking report builder and select any of the columns to display the data in your report.
