Insightly is one of the most popular CRMs available. Thanks to our integration you can track time spent on Opportunities, Projects, Tasks, Contacts, Organizations, and Leads. You can also import Contacts and Organizations as Clients into TimeCamp – if you wish to use our invoicing module.
Overview
The integration will be enabled for the entire account, so all users will be able to track time on imported tasks. The integration will be connected to the Insightly account of the person who enabled the integration.
Projects, tasks, contact, organizations, leads, and other items will be imported as tasks under the Insightly project. Lists with their tasks will be imported as subtasks under the tasks they belong to in TimeCamp.
Only items the owner of integration has access to could be imported.
We provide an option to select the data that should or should not be imported from Insightly to TimeCamp. After the integration is enabled and you selected the desired data, all items the owner of integration has access to will be imported to the Projects module in TimeCamp.
It is not possible to edit the structure of imported items in TimeCamp.
As an integration creator, you automatically gain access to all imported items. Other users are assigned automatically to tasks based on their email addresses, which need to match in both TimeCamp and Insightly. You can always assign tasks manually as well. If users are assigned to the main project Insightly they will be able to track time to all tasks under the Insightly project structure. If users are assigned only to certain tasks, they will be able to track time only to these tasks and subtasks under the tasks’ structure.
We don’t provide an option to export tracked time from TimeCamp to the Insightly account.
Projects, tasks, contacts, and other items marked as completed or deleted in Insightly will be automatically removed from the list of Active tasks in TimeCamp. If you create a new item in Insightly it will be automatically imported to TimeCamp within 1 hour. To immediately synchronize the integration and update newly added items use the “Force synchronization” option on TimeCamp web Timesheet. Synch will be executed within a few seconds.
The additional functionality we provide for Insightly integration is a browser plugin that allows tracking time within the Insightly website.
If the user who enabled the integration is not a part of your account anymore, we recommend reenabling the integration.
