ActiveCollab
The basic process for ActiveCollab integration is:
1) Check that your email addresses in ActiveCollab and Toggl are the same;
2) Import information from ActiveCollab into Toggl:
-
Go to Settings -> Integration;
-
Click 'edit settings' in the ActiveCollab section;
-
Enter the necessary details in the boxes provided;
-
Click 'Save' and wait for it to synchronize.
3) Track time in Toggl to the projects that you had just imported;
4) Export your time entries from Toggl back to ActiveCollab manually under Settings -> Integration as specified above or wait for the daily sync. Note that you need to have the 'export time entries' box ticked for the export to work.
The way information is exchanged between ActiveCollab (AC) and Toggl (T) upon import is:
-
Company (AC) = Client (T)
-
Project (AC) = Project (T)
-
Milestone (AC) = Planned task (T)
-
Milestone assignee (AC) = Planned task user (T) Note, however, that this only works when there is just one assignee for your milestone in AC. If the milestone has more than one assignee, then the planned task in Toggl is not tied to any particular user.
-
User (AC) = User (T)
Toggl only exports time entries into ActiveCollab:
-
Toggl time entries are exported as time entries into ActiveCollab as well.
-
Only the time entries that are linked to a project in ActiveCollab are exported back there.
