Store time tracking clock entries

The "store time tracking clock entries" endpoint allows you to create or update multiple time tracking entries for employees in bamboohr. this endpoint is used to record working hours, including start and end times, dates, and optional project, task, and note information. it's particularly useful for batch processing of time entries, such as at the end of a pay period or when synchronizing data from another system. use this endpoint when you need to add new time entries or modify existing ones in bulk. it supports creating new entries and updating existing ones by specifying the entry id. the endpoint is designed for efficiency, allowing multiple entries to be processed in a single api call. note that this endpoint does not handle time entry approval workflows or payroll calculations directly. it's primarily for data entry and updates. ensure that the employee ids, project ids, and task ids used in the request correspond to valid entities in your bamboohr system to avoid errors.

Why this helps

Manually copying hours between Linear and Bamboohr doubles data entry work and creates tracking gaps.

  • Automatic time logging
  • Reduced timesheet work
  • Accurate hour tracking
  • Fewer duplicate entries
