About this integration

Extract All Your Marketing Data from Timely

Timely - a time tracking and scheduling platform.

This Improvado integration is available by request only. Unlike our typical API integrations which can be set up by anyone in just a few clicks, this one will need a bit of work on our side (and maybe even on yours). Sometimes we need to play together to achieve the best results for everyone.

Integration details

Unified time tracking across all platforms

Improvado's Marketing Common Data Model normalizes Timely data alongside 500+ other business platforms. Project hours from Timely combine seamlessly with revenue data from Salesforce and marketing spend from Google Ads. Standard field names and consistent formatting eliminate data silos. Build comprehensive dashboards that connect time investment to business outcomes.
