Slack is a popular app for team chat and collaboration. When you create an integrate between your YoCoBoard account and a Slack team, your clock-in and clock-out data will be pushed automatically to the Slack channel of your choice.

Here’s how to set up the integration:

First, you’ll need to set up a Slack team if you don’t already have one.

Then, click on Integrations on your YoCoBoard menu. You’ll see some of integrations we offer. Check back in future for more–we’re adding them all the time!

Choose Slack by clicking on that box. Then, click on the green Add to Slack button.

In the window that pops up, enter the name of the Slack team you want to integrate with YoCoBoard and click Continue.

Next, you’ll probably want to set up a designated Slack channel to receive the time clock data pushed from YoCoBoard. Head over to Slack and use the “plus” icon under Channels to create one.

You’ll be prompted to name the channel and enter its purpose.

Once you’ve created your channel, you’ll see it in Slack in your list of channels.

Now go back to YoCoBoard and choose the Slack channel you just made as the one you’d like to integrate.

That’s about it! Now, whenever you clock in or clock out of YoCoBoard, an automatically generated message will appear in you Slack channel to let your team know.

Integrating YoCoBoard and Google Sheets with Zapier

You can create Reports with YoCoBoard anytime, setting a date range and exporting the time clock data as a CSV file.

But what if you want to export your time entries to a spreadsheet in real time, automatically?

That’s where Zapier comes in. With Zapier, you can hook up YoCoBoard to a Google Sheets spreadsheet in your Google Drive. Then, whenever you clock in or clock out, the data will be “zapped” over to your spreadsheet.

Here’s how to set it up.

1.) Set up your Google Sheet
Before you being, create a simple Google Sheet with the following columns:

• Start time
• Stop time
• Duration

2.) Go to your Zapier account and choose “Make a Zap”

3.) For your Trigger app, choose YoCoBoard

4.) For your Trigger, choose New Clock Entry

Then, you’ll be prompted to test the step. Note that you must have at least one recent time clock entry in YoCoBoard so you have something to test.

5.) For your Action app, choose Google Sheets

6.) For your Action, choose Create Spreadsheet Row

7.) Choose the sheet that you set up in Step 1 to zap your data onto.

Here, we’re using a sheet called “Andrew Gosling’s Timeclock Data.” Choose the worksheet within that sheet you want to use. Using the fields, assign each spreadsheet column to the appropriate YoCo data: Start, Stop and Duration.

8.) Click Finish! Within moments, you should see your recent time clock entry appear in your Google Sheet!
