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. acme in https://acme.timechimp.com).

  • If your organisation blocks external apps, whitelist https://app.viio.io.

Setup

  1. Go to Viio → Integrations and choose TimeChimp.

  2. Enter your Sub‑domain.

  3. Paste the API token into the API Key field.

  4. Click Validate. Viio checks the key and workspace.

  5. Give the connection a clear name (e.g. NL TimeChimp) and click Install.

  6. 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Verify the token is active under API v2 and hasn’t been revoked.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Activity looks outdated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.

Technical Details

  • Auth method: API key passed via api-key: HTTP header (TimeChimp API v2).

  • Key endpoints called:

    • GET /users – fetch users

    • GET /activities?updated_after={date} – pull time entries for last‑seen

    • GET /subscription – seat count and plan metadata (subject to availability)

  • Viio operates read‑only; it never creates, edits, or deletes TimeChimp data.

  • Data refresh cadence: every 24 hours
