How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Timesheet Submitted in Toggltrigger

A timesheet is marked complete or submitted, triggering the automation workflow.

2. Fetch Timesheet Data

The automation retrieves all time entries from Toggl, including hours, project name, team member, and billable flag.

3. Validate Project & Client Codes

The automation cross-references each project name against the master project list and confirms the client code is correct.

4. Look Up and Apply Billing Rates

The automation retrieves the correct hourly or day rate from the rate sheet based on project and team member, then calculates the billable amount.

5. Flag Non-Billable or Discrepant Hours

The automation identifies any entries marked non-billable or with missing rate data and logs them notification for manual review.

6. Create Invoice

The automation creates a new invoice with all line items, applying the calculated amounts, and sets the invoice status to draft.

7. Update Project Profitability

The automation logs the billable hours and revenue to the project record for real-time margin tracking.

8. Notify Finance Manager for Review

A message is sent to the finance manager with a link to the draft invoice and a summary of hours and amount for final approval before sending.
