Outlook Add-in for Time Tracking

Applies to: Workforce · Premium · LawBillity

If much of your day is email, calls, and meetings, the Outlook add-in lets you log that time from Outlook itself, so you don't have to switch to Time Tracker each time.

Installing the Add-in

1. Open Outlook, on your desktop or on the web.
2. Open Get Add-ins (on the Home tab, or File > Manage Add-ins).
3. Search for "eBillity" or "Time Tracker".
4. Click Add, then follow the steps to connect your Time Tracker account.

You can also install it from these links: Outlook 365 add-in or Outlook desktop add-in. It works in Outlook desktop and Outlook on the web (outlook.office.com).

Logging Time for an Email

1. Open the email.
2. Click the eBillity add-in button in the toolbar. A time entry form opens with the email's subject and sender filled in.
3. Choose the client, project, and activity. Enter your hours, or start a timer.
4. Click Save.

Logging Time for a Meeting

1. After the meeting, open it in your Outlook calendar.
2. Click the eBillity add-in button. The time is filled in from the meeting's length.
3. Choose the client, project, and activity, and save.

Time you log from Outlook appears on your Time Tracker timesheet like any other entry.

Common Problems

• The add-in doesn’t appear after you install it. Restart Outlook. Some companies need their IT admin to approve add-ins, so check with them.
• Your client or project isn’t in the list. See Why Can't I See Certain Clients, Projects, or Activities?.
• You want to see meetings next to your time in Time Tracker instead. See Syncing with Google Calendar or Outlook.
