Toggl integration

Use Toggl to track time on ClickUp or sync time tracked with Toggl into ClickUp. This is a one-way sync, so time tracked with ClickUp's native time tracking will not be added to your Toggl account.

What you'll need

  • Toggl time tracking is available on every plan.
  • Toggl time tracking in ClickUp is only available on Google Chrome.
  • A Workspace owner or admin needs to enable the Time Tracking ClickApp in every Space before using a time tracking integration.
  • Guests can't use Toggl to track time in ClickUp.

Set up the Toggl integration

There are three steps to setting up Toggl:

  1. Enable the Toggl integration in your Workspace.
  2. Download the Toggl Chrome extension.
  3. Grant Toggl access to ClickUp.

Set up Toggl in ClickUp

Before you start tracking time, a Workspace owner or admin must enable the integration.

  2. Select Toggl.
  3. Click Manage.

Track time with Toggl

Once you've given the Toggl Chrome extension access, you can start tracking time in ClickUp:

  1. Click the Toggl icon.
  2. Personalize the entry by overwriting the name of the entry.
  3. Search for and select a Toggl project to associate the entry with.
  4. Search for and select Toggl tags to add to the entry.
  5. Click Done.

To stop your entry, click the Toggl icon again.

You can link your time tracked in Toggl with ClickUp tasks by adding task IDs to your Toggl time log descriptions.

Sync time tracked with Toggl to ClickUp

For Toggl to sync tracked time with the appropriate person in ClickUp, each user must set up the integration with their Toggl API key. After the integration is set up, it can take several hours to sync all tracked time.

Once you've set up Toggl, click the Track Time field in a task to see details. Time tracked with Toggl will have a Toggl icon to the right of it.

If you sync tracked time from Toggl to ClickUp tasks, you will not be able to delete or modify the old tracked time. If you want to be able to change past time entries, we recommend using ClickUp's native time tracking.
