  • Step 2

    Start timer on a task

    Click the Start timer button and TMetric will start recording your Notion working time. Notice that the Start timer button changes to the Stop timer button and displays the time spent on the task.

    If you are the workspace owner or assigned admin in TMetric and start the timer for the first time, TMetric pulls out from Notion and adds to your TMetric workspace:

    • task name
    • task ID

    The corresponding time entry appears on the Time page in the TMetric web app. You can easily navigate back to the Notion task simply by clicking the link icon next to the task name.

  • Step 3

    Edit time entry, if necessary

    A time entry with an external task can be edited. You can edit the name of the task, change a project and ags without losing a link to the Notion issue.

    To disassociate the TMetric task from the Notion task, click the cross icon next to the task name in the bottom right corner of the time entry editor.

    Edit time entry, if necessary

  • Step 4

    View a time report
