iCal Time Tracking Integration for Teetrack
Import events from any calendar that supports iCal feeds into your time tracking workflow.
Connect iCal to Teetrack. See calendar events alongside recorded time and review your work before export.
Requirements
- A calendar application that supports iCal feed export (Apple Calendar, Fastmail, Yahoo Calendar, etc.)
- Access to Teetrack calendar features
- The iCal feed URL from the calendar you want to sync
How to connect
Step 1: Open calendar settings in Teetrack
Navigate to the Calendar integration settings in Teetrack and select iCal as your calendar source.
Step 2: Copy the iCal feed URL from your calendar app
In your calendar application (Apple Calendar, Fastmail, or any other iCal-compatible service), locate the sharing or export option and copy the iCal feed URL.
Step 3: Paste the feed URL into Teetrack
Enter the copied iCal feed URL in Teetrack to start syncing events. Teetrack will pull in upcoming and recent events from that feed.
Step 4: Review imported events and convert them into tracked time
Open the calendar view in Teetrack, inspect the imported events, and turn relevant ones into time entries with the correct client, project, and billable status.
What you can do
- Works with any iCal-compatible calendar: Apple Calendar, Fastmail, Yahoo Calendar, and dozens of other tools publish iCal feeds. If your calendar supports it, Teetrack can read it.
- Pre-fill your day from scheduled events: Meetings, client calls, and focus blocks appear in context so you spend less time reconstructing your week from memory.
- Keep billing tied to real commitments: Convert a meeting or work block into a billable time entry and attach it to the right project before generating an invoice.
- Improve weekly reviews: Calendar context helps you spot missing entries, compare planned versus actual work, and close gaps before finalizing a timesheet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is iCal and how is it different from Google Calendar?
iCal (also called ICS) is an open standard for calendar data. Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and many others can export iCal feeds. This integration is for calendars that do not have a dedicated Teetrack connector but do support iCal.
Does the iCal feed sync replace the timer in Teetrack?
No. The calendar sync gives you context from your schedule. The timer and manual entries still capture the final tracked work.
How often does Teetrack refresh the iCal feed?
Teetrack periodically pulls new events from the feed URL. The exact interval depends on your plan, but recent changes typically appear within a short time.
Can I sync multiple iCal feeds at once?
Yes. You can add multiple feed URLs if you use separate calendars for different clients or projects.
Will imported events automatically become billable?
Not by default. You review imported events and assign the correct project and billable status so invoices stay accurate.
