Overview
Summary
Connecting Clockify and Microsoft Planner unlocks seamless time tracking that’s tied directly to your project tasks. With Clockify integrations, you can automatically log hours spent on tasks created in Planner, giving managers real-time visibility into how time is allocated across projects without manual entry. This integration removes the friction between planning and tracking, making it easier for teams to stay accountable and data-driven.
Why integrate Clockify with Microsoft Planner?
Benefits
Teams using Microsoft Planner for task management often struggle with fragmented time tracking—spending hours exporting data or manually entering hours into separate tools. By integrating Clockify, project managers, team leads, and freelancers gain a unified view of task progress and time spent, reducing errors and improving billing accuracy. This connection ensures that every task in Planner has a clear time record, making retrospectives, resource planning, and client reporting faster and more reliable.
Use cases that actually matter
Real-world
Client billing accuracy
Automatically tie Clockify time entries to Planner tasks assigned to client projects, so your invoicing reflects actual work done—no more guesswork or disputed hours.
Task completion insights
Use Microsoft Planner integrations to see which tasks consistently take longer than expected, helping you refine future estimates and improve team capacity planning.
Weekly reporting automation
Sync Clockify time logs to Google Sheets via Clockify Google Sheets integrations to auto-generate team productivity reports, eliminating manual copy-paste work every Monday.
💡 Pro Tip: Use tags in Clockify (like “Design,” “Dev,” or “Client Review”) to categorize time entries—then filter them in Planner to see how much time each team spends on different types of tasks.
Step-by-step setup
No code
Workflow
Start your automation by connecting Clockify to Microsoft Planner using Clockify Time Doctor integrations, then select “New Time Entry” as the trigger and “Create Task” or “Update Task” as the action.
Map your Clockify project and task names to corresponding Planner buckets and cards, and choose which fields to sync—like duration, notes, or assignee.
Enable the automation, test it with a sample time entry, then expand it to include conditional logic—like only syncing entries over 15 minutes or tagging tasks with “Billable.”
Advanced automation ideas
Trigger a Planner task update when a Clockify time entry exceeds a set threshold (e.g., 5 hours on a single task), sending a notification to the project lead. Or, combine this integration with Slack to auto-post weekly time summaries to a project channel. You can even add filters to exclude non-billable hours from syncing to Planner, keeping your task board clean.
