ClockMe + Slack

Slack is where teams communicate and coordinate. ClockMe connects to Slack through its REST API today — you can post timer events to Slack channels via Zapier or Make, or build slash command shortcuts using the ClockMe API. A native Slack app with slash commands (/clockme start, /clockme stop, /clockme status) and daily summary notifications is on the ClockMe roadmap.

→Post your daily time summary to a Slack channel automatically at end of day
→Start a ClockMe timer when a specific keyword is posted in Slack
→Query your hours via Slack using the ClockMe API through a Zap
→Coming soon: native Slack app with /clockme slash commands and bot notifications

How to connect Slack

Get your ClockMe API key

Create a Slack Incoming Webhook

In your Slack workspace, go to api.slack.com/apps. Create a new app, enable Incoming Webhooks, and copy the webhook URL. This is used to receive timer event notifications.

Build the bridge via Zapier or Make

Create a Zap: Trigger on a Slack keyword or reaction → Action: Webhooks by Zapier → POST to ClockMe API. For daily summaries: Schedule trigger → ClockMe API report → Slack message.

Or use ClockMe directly via MCP

For the fastest workflow, use ClockMe's MCP server in your AI coding tool. You can ask 'what have I tracked today?' and 'stop my timer' without involving Slack at all.

Slack Incoming Webhook URLbash

# Use Zapier or Make to bridge Slack → ClockMe

# Start timer from Slack via ClockMe API:
curl -X POST https://clockme.co/api/timer/start \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ck_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"projectId": "YOUR_PROJECT_ID", "description": "Slack: client call"}'

# Stop timer:
curl -X POST https://clockme.co/api/timer/stop \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ck_live_YOUR_KEY"

# Get status:
curl https://clockme.co/api/timer/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ck_live_YOUR_KEY"

# Post daily summary to Slack:
# Set up a Zapier schedule → ClockMe API report → Slack webhook message

Natural language commands

Ask in plain English

You: “/clockme start — Client Portal [coming soon]”

ClockMe: Timer started on Client Portal. Clock is running.

You: “/clockme status [coming soon]”

ClockMe: Active: Client Portal (1h 22m). Today total: 4h 15m across 2 projects.

You: “/clockme stop [coming soon]”

ClockMe: Timer stopped. 1h 22m logged on Client Portal. Today: 4h 15m.

You: “Daily 5pm summary notification [coming soon]”

ClockMe: ClockMe Daily: 7h 30m logged across 3 projects. Client Portal: 3h. API work: 2h 30m. Planning: 2h.

FAQ

Slack integration questions

Is there a native Slack app for ClockMe?

A native Slack app with slash commands (/clockme start, /clockme stop, /clockme status) and daily summary notifications is on the ClockMe roadmap. Today, you can connect them via the REST API through Zapier, Make, or a custom integration.

Can I get a Slack notification when I am approaching my project budget?

Budget alerts currently fire as browser notifications and in-app alerts. Routing those notifications to Slack via a Zap — ClockMe budget alert event → Slack message — is possible with the API. Native Slack notifications are part of the Slack app roadmap.

Can I start a timer from a Slack message?

Today, you can build a Zapier automation that listens for a keyword in Slack (e.g. 'starting client call') and posts to /api/timer/start. The native Slack app will make this a first-class slash command.

Does the MCP server work better than a Slack integration for timer control?

For developers, yes. The MCP server in your AI coding tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) gives you natural language timer control without switching to Slack. The Slack integration is better for team-wide visibility and non-technical team members.
