Members: Integrations
Besides our own apps and browser extensions, Harvest integrates with a number of other services to make it easier for you to track time wherever you are. Below is a selection of integrations built by us or by trusted third parties, but you may also want to look through our Apps & Integrations Directory to see everything that’s available.
Calendar integrations
Google Calendar and Outlook.com Calendar
These integrations allow you to pull calendar events into your Harvest timesheet, making it easier to record time spent in meetings, etc. Learn how they work in our Help Center article on Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar.
Project management integrations
These integrations allow you to track time to Harvest projects and tasks from within the other tool’s interface so that you don’t need to have another browser window or tab open for Harvest. In Harvest, the notes for a time entry tracked via these integrations will automatically populate with a link to the relevant card, issue, or task in the other tool.
Asana
Depending on your permissions in Asana, you may be able to enable this for yourself, for a team, or for a workspace. Details on this integration are available in our Help Center article on Asana.
Basecamp
This integration requires our Chrome browser extension. Details are available in Help Center article on the Chrome browser extension.
JIRA
Only someone who’s an administrator in JIRA can enable this integration. Details are available in our Help Center article on JIRA.
Trello
There are two ways to integrate with Trello. One way is to use our Chrome browser extension. Once you have that installed, you’ll be able to track time to Harvest projects and tasks from within Trello.
The other way is to use Trello’s Power-Up functionality, which is available in any browser. Power-Ups are enabled on individual Trello boards. On any boards with the Harvest Power-Up, the top right will show the total time tracked to cards on that board. Simple time reports can also be attached to individual cards, although Members will only see the time they themselves have tracked to the card.
Details on both options for this integration are available in our Help Center article on Trello.
Issue tracking and customer support integrations
Zendesk
This integration allows you to track time to Harvest projects and tasks from within Zendesk’s interface so that you don’t need to have another browser window or tab open for Harvest. In Harvest, the notes for a time entry tracked via these integrations will automatically populate with a link to the relevant Zendesk ticket.
Only someone who’s an administrator in Zendesk can enable this integration. Details are available in our Help Center article on Zendesk.
Developer tools integrations
GitHub
This integration allows you to track time to Harvest projects and tasks from within GitHub’s interface so that you don’t need to have another browser window or tab open for Harvest. In Harvest, the notes for a time entry tracked via these integrations will automatically populate with a link to the relevant GitHub issue or pull request.
This integration requires our Chrome browser extension. Details are available in our Help Center article on GitHub.
Other integrations
Slack
This integration lets you track time right in Slack and see whether another teammate is currently working on something, so you can decide whether it’s a good time to send them a direct message. Only an Administrator in Harvest can enable this.
You can see all of the slash commands here. Note that for Members, the /harvest status
command will only show whether the person in question is currently tracking time, not what they’re currently working on. In addition, Members can’t use the /harvest budget
command themselves, although they can see a budget report that an Administrator or Manager shares with a channel they’re in.
You can find a few frequently asked questions here.
Google Workspace
Only an Administrator in Harvest (who’s also a Google Workspace Super Admin) can enable this integration. Once it’s enabled, you can export Time Reports and Detailed Time Reports to Google Drive as spreadsheets.
When viewing the report, click the Export dropdown at the top right and select Google Drive. You’ll see a new spreadsheet in the My Drive section of your Google Drive.
Zapier
Looking for an integration that we haven’t built yet? Zapier can help you connect Harvest to most—or maybe even all—of the other tools you use throughout your day. You can see a list of suggested “Zaps” here and find out more about connecting Harvest with other services on Zapier’s own website.
The team at Zapier has set up these connections, so for any questions or troubleshooting, we recommend you contact them directly.
IFTTT
IFTTT can help you create simple connections between Harvest and other products you use every day. Learn more about how to get started and what you can do with Harvest in IFTTT in our Help Center article on IFTTT.
The Harvest API
If you’re familiar with using APIs to create your own integrations, you can find a link to our API documentation along with some common questions in our Help Center article on the Harvest API. Note that Members can only use the API to see their own timesheet.
