This would be a massive upgrade for our department. To be able to automatically track time with a trigger, for instance a custom field. We have a workflow where visitors and volunteers digitally check in using ClickUp. They search their name, click on the "Check In" button, and then click on the "Check Out" button when they leave. It would be great if we could trigger tracking their time when they click on the "Check In" button and stop the time track when they click on the "Check Out" button.

Currently, I have 2 custom date fields and 3 formula/calculation fields with a super complex formula that I don't even know how I came up with to calculate each persons duration of visit. Plus countless automations. However, I have to duplicate their entry/task after every single day so I can have a long list of Bob Smith's visits and calculate his total duration of visits during a specific time range. It's really too complex and this simple automation would eradicate all the other fluff I needed to do.

I'm expecting a lot from this feature in my business, please make it happen ! :)

Hello Zach, is there any update regarding this feature? Should be great if we have automated time tracking when changing the status for all our employees. Like this we can track our tasks by team and easily calculate the cost per task.

Four years since the topic was opened:o

Automating the turning on and off of time tracking is essential to establish the cost of my company, since services are charged based on volume and time, and on a daily basis we often forget to call to measure exactly the time spent on an activity.

Look at this feature, Click Up! I never asked you for anything today:)

Any update?

Hi, everyone!

Time tracking is crucial in our processes and I see its importance in many other scenarios as well.

In my routine, automation is essential for accuracy because my reports use time information to calculate the cost of each task. This helps us with pricing and informs us if we are making a profit or losing money.

Our key metric is based on man-hours, which is a very important indicator for us.

the most important feature of all.

Please, we need this!

A few more necessary addons for time tracking:

* Idle timer - detect inactivity / reject inactivity time / continue tracking

* Auto detection - assign time tracking to task/project if you use tab/browser/program

It is important to be notified when someone starts tracking a specific task. We need a trigger related to the start time tracking event.
