How to Connect
Step 1: Create a marketing or email project in Teetrack
Set up a project in Teetrack for your email marketing work. You can create sub-projects per client or campaign type if you manage multiple accounts.
Step 2: Start the timer when you work in Mailchimp
Before you begin drafting a campaign, building an automation, or segmenting an audience in Mailchimp, start the Teetrack timer with a descriptive note.
Step 3: Log time for each campaign phase
Track time separately for copywriting, design, list management, and reporting so you can see where your hours actually go.
Step 4: Review time spent and bill clients accordingly
At the end of the week or month, review your Mailchimp-related entries in Teetrack and export timesheets for client billing or internal cost analysis.
What you can do
- Track time per campaign or client: See exactly how many hours each email campaign or client newsletter takes from draft to send, making it easier to price future work.
- Separate creative from admin time: Distinguish between billable creative work (copywriting, design) and non-billable admin (list cleanup, report reviews) for accurate project accounting.
- Improve marketing cost estimates: Use historical time data from Teetrack to build more accurate proposals and retainer pricing for email marketing services.
- Professional timesheets for marketing clients: Generate clean timesheets that show how time was spent on email marketing, grouped by project, client, or activity.
