How this automation works

Start tracking time in Clockify automatically when new to-dos are added in Basecamp. The Applet runs whenever a new to-do is created in the Basecamp list you select and starts a Clockify timer using the to-do's title and description. This is useful for freelancers and teams who want immediate, accurate time entries for billing and productivity, keeping Clockify aligned with your Basecamp workflow.
