Clockify Time Logging Assistant for Slack
This n8n workflow transforms your Clockify time management into an effortless, conversational experience directly within Slack. Designed specifically for engineers, it acts as an intelligent co-pilot, streamlining every aspect of time logging.
Key Features
- Conversational Time Entry Management: Create, update, delete, and retrieve Clockify time entries using natural language commands in Slack.

How It Works
The workflow is triggered by an @mention in Slack. The incoming message is fed into an n8n LangChain agent, which acts as the intelligent "ClockifyBlockia" assistant. This agent, powered by an OpenAI Chat Model and equipped with memory to maintain context, intelligently routes your request to the appropriate Clockify API tools. It can create new time entries, retrieve existing ones, update details, or even delete entries, as well as fetch client and project information. For complex queries involving durations, it leverages a date converter and calculator. The assistant provides step-by-step guidance, double-confirms critical operations like deletions, and ensures accurate descriptions, responding directly back to your Slack thread.
