acme
inhttps://acme.timechimp.com
).If your organisation blocks external apps, whitelist
https://app.viio.io
.
Setup
Go to Viio → Integrations and choose TimeChimp.
Enter your Sub‑domain.
Paste the API token into the API Key field.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
Issue | How to resolve |
“Invalid API key” | Ensure you copied the full token (no spaces) and that the creator is still an Admin. |
No data after first sync | Verify the token is active under API v2 and hasn’t been revoked. |
Seats don’t match TimeChimp billing UI | TimeChimp counts all active users; Viio ignores users set to Inactive. Reactivate or remove duplicates. |
Activity looks outdated | Viio uses the user’s last submitted time entry. If users haven’t logged time recently, dates may appear old. |
