Timely

INFRA · APIS
Velocity5.0

Timely is grinding down the friction between tracked time and the tools it has to reconcile with.

time-trackingautosheetintegrationsbulk-actionsreliability
◆Current state
Timely ships a steady biweekly changelog centered on three areas: AutoSheet reliability, bulk administrative actions, and integration fidelity with Jira, monday.com, Microsoft Teams, Gmail and Google Calendar. The recent run is corrective and administrative rather than expansive — duplicate client handling on import, undoable CSV imports and bulk moves, project pickers that default to your own work, and repeated fixes to capture gaps in Teams phone calls and high-volume Gmail days.
◆Where it's heading
The product is being hardened for larger workspaces, where the old defaults broke down: full-workspace project lists became unusable, imports collided on names, and a single mis-click across many entries had no path back. Undo is becoming a standard affordance across destructive bulk actions. On the capture side, the recurring theme is that automatic tracking is only as good as its worst integration, and most effort goes to closing the cases where activity silently failed to appear.
◆Prediction
Expect continued work on integration capture reliability and more bulk operations gaining the same ten-second undo pattern, rather than new tracking surfaces.

◆Recent moves

  1. 8d ago

    Faster task linking, smarter client management, and key bug fixes

    Import collisions get a real answer: clients arriving from Jira, ClickUp, Asana and monday.com with names that already exist are now imported under a suggested unique name instead of being skipped silently. Paired with a member-first project picker and non-blocking bulk imports, this is the large-workspace hardening the changelog keeps returning to.

    AutoSheet Improvements, Project Picker & CSV Import Revert

    AutoSheet gains progress persistence across reloads and devices, clean handling of no-activity days, and duplicate-submission protection — the three ways an automated timesheet run previously lost or corrupted a user's work. Admins also get a CSV import revert, extending the undo pattern to data loads.

    monday.com integration launches, plus Gmail and AutoSheet fixes

    The monday.com integration leaves the waiting list and opens to every workspace, bundled with the same Gmail and AutoSheet fixes published separately the same day. Broadening the connector set is the substance here; the duplicated fix notes are a feed artifact rather than two rounds of work.

    Gmail and AutoSheet fixes

    Two capture bug fixes: Gmail missing the earliest sends on high-volume days, and AutoSheet failing on special characters in window titles. Both are corrections to the silent-gap problem, and both were republished the same day inside a fuller entry alongside the monday.com launch.

    Teams Phone calls, bulk project updates

    Managers can move time entries across users to a different project in one action with a ten-second undo, and Teams phone calls — including mobile — finally reach the timeline. Exports gain a Jira Linked Work Item column for spotting client mismatches against connected tickets.

    Bulk project tools, Jira custom field column, and Teams Phone import

    Bulk client reassignment across projects joins the bulk time-entry move, both under the same undo affordance, with Jira client mapping surfaced in Timesheet and CSV reports. Substantially the same feature set as the entry published the following week, which restates these items rather than adding to them.
