Add your own integration

Want to create an integration or improve an existing one? Awesome! Adding an integration is super easy. You need basic web programming skills (HTML, Javascript, Git) and can be done in a couple of hours.

Just fork the repo, make your changes, and send us a pull request.

Something needs fixing?

Create an issue here on Github and our team will take a look the first change we get (which may take a few days, depending on our workload).

If you need the fix quicker, feel free to update the integration yourself and send us a pull request. We typically take care of them within a few days.

How adding an integration works

Add the url of the new tool in /src/integrations/integrations.json. Then, create a /src/integrations/myapp.js file. It in, define where the button appears and from which element it needs to pick up the description field.

When the extension recognizes that you're on that url, it will load the necessary script.

If you need an example, you can see how Trello is implemented.

Use createButton() so both the icon and "Start timer" is displayed. If there's not enough space, you can use createSmallButton (so only the icon is displayed).

Before sending us a pull request, make sure you test the integration in both Chrome and Firefox.
