Automate from Your Calendar: Outlook Integration

Record'em integrates with Outlook to turn an employee's schedule into a pre-populated timesheet. Meetings appear as suggested entries, confirmable with a single click. Smart filtering prevents calendar clutter. This is the second pillar of effortless adoption: automate from your calendar.

How Calendar Automation Works

Record'em connects to your Outlook Calendar and automatically turns your schedule into a pre-populated timesheet. Meetings appear as suggested entries, confirmable with a single click. Smart filtering prevents calendar clutter and ensures only relevant events are tracked.

Key Automation Features:

• Pre-populated Timesheets: Your Outlook schedule automatically becomes a pre-populated timesheet with suggested entries.
• One-Click Confirmation: Meetings appear as suggested entries, confirmable with a single click.
• Smart Filtering: Prevents calendar clutter by filtering out irrelevant events and focusing on work-related activities.
• Automatic Categorization: Calendar events are automatically categorized by project, client, or work type based on event details.
• Effortless Tracking: No more manual entry - your calendar becomes your timesheet automatically.

Why This Approach Works

The root issue isn't technical—it's behavioral. Traditional time tracking fails because people forget. They reconstruct their hours at the end of the month—or not at all. Record'em addresses the human factors that make time tracking fail in most organizations.

By automating from your calendar, we eliminate the need for manual entry and ensure consistent time tracking across your team. This approach works because it leverages existing behavior patterns rather than forcing new ones.

Benefits of Calendar Automation

This automated approach drives unprecedented user adoption because employees actually want to use the system. When time tracking disappears into your natural workflow instead of interrupting it, you get complete, accurate data that transforms your reporting from a guessing game into a reliable engine for strategic decision-making.

This approach is particularly effective for teams with regular meeting schedules, weekly check-ins, or recurring project work blocks because it leverages existing behavior patterns rather than forcing new ones.

Simple Setup and Reliable Automation

The Outlook Calendar integration is designed to work reliably in the background. Once connected, the system automatically turns your schedule into a pre-populated timesheet, requiring minimal ongoing management from users.

Whether you're tracking time for compliance, billing, or project management, having your calendar events automatically converted to time entries provides a solid foundation for accurate record-keeping and unprecedented user adoption.
