Automate time tracking, attendance, and workforce data across your whole stack

ProductivityProjectsAnalyticsFinanceHRScheduling

Jibble is a free time and attendance platform that helps teams clock in and out, track hours by project and activity, manage shifts, and export payroll-ready timesheets — with GPS verification, facial recognition, and geofencing built in. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can clock employees in and out, create manual time entries, onboard new hires, set up projects and clients, pull timesheet summaries and CSV exports, and react to clock-in, clock-out, and break events — all without anyone touching the Jibble dashboard.

New employee added to Jibble and welcomed automatically

When a new employee row is added to the onboarding Google Sheet, the agent checks for an existing Jibble record, creates one if needed, dispatches the Jibble invite, posts a welcome to Slack, and creates the manager's onboarding task in Notion — all before anyone on HR opens a browser.

Savings

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

Without Actionist

What you do manually today

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    30 min / week
    Manual project setup after deal close

    Someone on the team manually creates the Jibble client and project after the deal closes — often hours or days later — meaning early delivery hours are untracked or logged to the wrong project.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates client and project the moment a deal closes

    When a deal moves to Closed Won in the CRM, the agent creates the Jibble client and project automatically so the delivery team can log billable hours from the first handoff call.

  • Marketing
    20 min / week
    Manual weekly Jibble export for campaign reporting

    Someone on marketing manually exports timesheet data from Jibble, reformats it, and pastes figures into the campaign reporting spreadsheet — a weekly task that takes 20 minutes and is easy to forget.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent exports campaign hours to reporting folder automatically

    Every Thursday the agent exports campaign timesheet data to Google Drive and updates the resource cost model — the marketing lead has current data before the weekly review without opening Jibble.

  • Customer Support
    15 min / week
    Manual support timesheet export for payroll

    The support lead or HR admin manually exports support team timesheets from Jibble every Friday afternoon, often under time pressure to make the payroll cut-off.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent exports weekly support timesheet to payroll automatically

    Every Friday the agent fetches the support team's weekly timesheet CSV and routes it to the payroll folder — payroll processing starts without the support lead manually running a Jibble export.

  • Human Resources
    25 min / week
    Manual Jibble onboarding per new hire

    HR manually adds each new employee to Jibble, assigns them to the correct group, and sends the invite — a 10-minute task per hire that is often forgotten in the onboarding rush, leaving employees unable to clock in.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent adds new employees to Jibble and sends invites automatically

    When a new hire is confirmed in the HRIS, the agent creates their Jibble person record and dispatches their invite — they have time tracking access before their first shift without any manual HR step.

  • Finance
    30 min / week
    Manual payroll timesheet export

    Finance manually exports the previous week's timesheet from Jibble every Monday, reformats the file to match the payroll template, and uploads it manually — adding 30 minutes to the start of every payroll cycle.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent delivers payroll timesheet CSV every Monday before anyone opens Jibble

    Every Monday morning the agent fetches the previous week's full timesheet data as a CSV and uploads it to the payroll processing folder — the payroll run can start immediately.

  • Operations
    60 min / week
    Manual shift attendance monitoring

    Shift managers manually check the Jibble dashboard for late or missing clock-ins, often not noticing until 30 minutes or more into the shift — by which time coverage gaps have already affected operations.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent flags late clock-ins to shift managers within about a minute

    When a New Clock-In event fires more than 10 minutes after the scheduled shift start, the agent sends the shift manager a Slack alert before they notice the absence on the floor.

  • Legal
    45 min / week
    Manual labour law compliance check

    HR or legal manually reviews Jibble timesheet exports to check for employees approaching or exceeding legal hour limits — a slow, error-prone process that often happens after payroll has already been submitted.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent checks all employees for labour law hour breaches weekly

    Every Monday the agent compares each employee's logged hours against their jurisdiction's legal maximum and logs any breach to the compliance register before payroll is processed.

FAQs

Questions about Jibble + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Jibble?
Go to the Apps tab, find Jibble, and click Connect. Actionist connects via API key — you'll need to generate a Jibble API token from your Jibble account under Settings → API. Paste it into the API key field in Actionist and click Test Connection. Actionist runs a read-only call to verify the handshake before any actions run. Your Jibble account must have Owner or Admin privileges to generate an API token.
What permissions does my Jibble account need to connect to Actionist?
You need an API token generated from a Jibble account with Owner or Admin role. The token inherits the permissions of the generating user — so for read actions like finding timesheets and people, any admin token works. For write actions like clocking in or out, creating manual time entries, and creating people, the token's account must have the appropriate role. Jibble's free plan includes API access, so you don't need a paid plan just to connect.
Can I connect Jibble to other apps in the same workflow?
Yes — Jibble becomes significantly more powerful when combined with HR, payroll, project management, and communication apps. Common combinations: clock employees in when a shift starts in a scheduling app; sync timesheet summaries to Google Sheets for payroll processing; alert a Slack channel when a new person is added to Jibble; create a Jibble project when a new project is created in your project management tool; pull timesheet CSVs and push them to accounting software like Xero or QuickBooks. Any of Actionist's 200+ connected apps can send or receive data alongside Jibble in the same workflow.
What are the most common things agents do with Jibble?
The most common patterns: (1) automated attendance notifications — alerting a manager or Slack channel within about a minute of a clock-in or clock-out event; (2) timesheet reporting — pulling weekly or monthly timesheet summaries per project or person and pushing them into Google Sheets or a payroll system; (3) project labour cost tracking — summing hours per project from timesheet data and writing the result to a project tracker; (4) onboarding automation — creating a Jibble person and sending them an invite when a new employee record appears in your HRIS; (5) compliance monitoring — checking that all team members have clocked out at end of shift and alerting the operations manager if any are still clocked in.
How quickly do Jibble triggers fire in Actionist?
Jibble's triggers in Actionist fire on account-level events and are polled within about a minute of the event occurring. Available triggers include: New Clock-In, New Clock-Out, Go on Break, New Person, New TimeEntry Record, New Project, New Client, New Group, New Location, New Activity, and corresponding New or Update variants for several of these. There is no sub-minute trigger latency — if your workflow requires a near-instant response to a clock-in, plan for about a minute of polling delay.
How do I avoid creating duplicate people or projects in Jibble?
Use Find or Create Person instead of Create Person whenever the employee may already exist in your Jibble account. This action checks for a matching person first and returns them if found, only creating a new record when none exists. This prevents duplicate employee records which would cause reporting and payroll discrepancies. Similarly, use Find or Create Project and Find or Create Client for project and client records to keep your Jibble account clean as automations run across multiple workflows.
Can I automatically export Jibble timesheets for payroll processing?
Yes. The Find Timesheets Report as a CSV action returns a downloadable CSV of timesheet data for any date range and can be scoped by person, group, project, or activity. You can have the agent fetch this CSV on a schedule — weekly before payroll processing, monthly for billing, or on demand — and route it to Google Drive, attach it to an email, or parse it to push individual rows into an accounting system. The Find Timesheets Summary action returns structured summary data (total hours per person or project) if you need machine-readable numbers rather than a file.
How does creating a manual time entry work in Jibble?
Create Manual Time Entry is the action to use when an employee forgets to clock in, or when you need to backfill hours from another system. You provide the person, start time, end time, and optionally a project and activity. The entry appears in Jibble's timesheets exactly as if the employee had clocked in manually. This is commonly used in automated correction workflows where a manager approves a missed punch in a form tool like Typeform and the agent creates the entry in Jibble automatically, notifying the employee via Slack.
