Timely tracks the hours your team works and the forecasts you plan. FlowMattic copies those entries into Google Sheets from your WordPress site, and keeps them right when hours are edited or removed. Agencies and consultancies get a timesheet they can bill from, pivot by client and share with finance.

1. TriggerHours Created2. ActionAdd New RowWhen Timely fires Hours Created, FlowMattic runs Add New Row in Google Sheets with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateEvery logged block of time becomes a row with person, project, date, duration and note, so finance has a timesheet without a monthly export.
Hours CreatedAdd New Row
View the template People fix their time after the fact. Look the entry up by its Timely ID and update the row, so the billed total matches what is in Timely.
Hours UpdatedLookup Row DataUpdate Row
A deleted time entry should not stay on an invoice. Find its row by ID and delete it, so the sheet never bills for removed work.
Hours DeletedLookup Row DataDelete Row
Number Formatter turns the duration into hours with two decimals, so a rate column can multiply it straight into an invoice amount.
Hours CreatedNumber FormatterAdd New Row
Each new Timely project is added to a projects tab with its client and budget, which the timesheet tab can look up for totals per project.
Projects CreatedAdd New Row
Forecasts go to their own tab with person, project and planned hours, so planned and actual time sit side by side for capacity reviews.
Forecasts CreatedAdd New Row
Date/Time Formatter turns the entry date into a month name used as the sheet name, so each billing period starts from its own tab.
Hours CreatedDate/Time FormatterAdd New Row
At the end, every hours entry created in Timely is added to your timesheet as one row.
Add a header row such as Entry ID, Date, Person, Project, Hours and Note.
In FlowMattic, open Connects and add your Timely account and a Google Sheets account that can edit the timesheet.
Create a workflow with the Timely Hours Created trigger and log a short test entry so FlowMattic captures its fields.
Add Google Sheets Add New Row, map the entry fields to your columns, test the step and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Timely and Google Sheets connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Timesheets land in Google Sheets where rates, discounts and client codes can be added without changing Timely.
Separate workflows for updated and deleted hours keep the sheet's totals equal to what people tracked.
FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site with unlimited runs, so a team logging dozens of entries a day costs the same.
Create a FlowMattic workflow with the Timely Hours Created trigger and a Google Sheets Add New Row step. Map the date, person, project, duration and note, and each new entry is added as a row.
A second workflow on Hours Updated finds the row by the entry ID with Lookup Row Data and rewrites it with Update Row, so the sheet matches Timely.
Yes. Convert durations to decimal hours with Number Formatter, add a rate column per project and multiply. Monthly tabs keep each invoice period separate.
Yes. Log Forecasts Created to a forecasts tab and hours to the timesheet tab, then compare the two per person and project with a pivot table.
No. Triggers act on entries created after the workflow is on. Export earlier hours from Timely once and paste them into the sheet to start complete.
