toggl Integration Request

Hi Ilija, et al,

I would count myself an activeCollab evangelist - been using since 0.7 and the whole team and all our clients use it all day long. It's great - thanks!

But... we've recently been using a time tracking tool called toggl.com which is good for a couple of reasons:

- solid desktop app (+ learning)
- iphone app
- cross platform
- great/quick reporting

The problem of course is we're now duplicating our tasks.

It seems there's quite a lot of toggl users who are also activeCollab users so; what can we, as a community, do to encourage you guys and the toggl guys to integrate together? Can we help in any way? Is it something the toggl guys should be doing?

Here's the toggle support thread on the subject:

... If anyone else is keen to see the two integrate can they vote below!? :-) .. I'll introduce you both on twitter too! .. we're @deepbluetweets, they're @toggldevel and you guys at @activecollab.

Cheers!

Jimbo

I'd love to see aC + Toggl integration. Meanwhile, however, I just added an iframe with the Toggl iGoogle widget to every page on our activeCollab installation.

Looking forward to news in this thread!

Hello,

Log story short, integration like this is not likely to be built by us any time soon. Reason for this is that our primary focus are not integration with other services, but activeCollab. Instead of integrating with another service, we'll improve tools that we already have in the system and make activeCollab better:

1. Time tracking module will have a few enhancements in activeCollab 3. I can't share any details at the moment, but time tracking is something that we're working on.

2. We just releases Windows and Mac versions of activeCollab Timer - our desktop time tracking application. It's completely free and pretty polished already.

Third party developers, or people behind these services can use activeCollab API to build integrations on their end and we're here to help, but I doubt that we'll be working on such integrations on our end in the near future.

Follow @activecollab and activeCollab on Facebook.

Thanks Ilija,

I wasn't aware of the timer - looks great, we'll try it out.
