Connect your TimeChimp workspace to Viio to track users, real activity, and licence usage—so you only pay for seats you need.
Capabilities
| Capability | What it means in Viio | 
| ✅ Users | Syncs every active TimeChimp user so you can map ownership and cost. | 
| ✅ Usage | Pulls each user’s last time entry date to flag dormant accounts. | 
| ✅ Plans & Licences | Imports your subscribed–seat total and compares it with seats actually used. | 
Prerequisites
- Workspace Owner or Admin role in TimeChimp. 
- Your TimeChimp API token (API v2). 
 Generate it via gear icon → API v2 → Create API token.
 The token appears once—copy it immediately.
 See TimeChimp’s guide on linking Zapier for reference.
- Your TimeChimp sub‑domain (e.g. - acmein- https://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. 
- Click Validate. Viio checks the key and workspace. 
- Give the connection a clear name (e.g. NL TimeChimp) and click Install. 
- Viio starts the first sync. You’ll get a notification when the import is complete (usually within a few minutes). 
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| No data after first sync | Verify the token is active under API v2 and hasn’t been revoked.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| Activity looks outdated | Viio uses the user’s last submitted time entry.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. |
