Low priority but I had this with another time tracker and it was extremely helpful making sure my time was correct.
We have VOIP phones and on Zapier I have connected it to my phone account.
The phone has different events zaps can event off of- ring, answer, hang up
So what I did was create a new zap that when my phone rang it would start my time tracking with a default subject of "Answering Phone". When I hung up it would check if my time was tracking against that answering phone work item and if so stop the timer. If my time was being tracked against a different work item it would not stop the timer. It knew that while on the phone I had changed the work item myself to something related to the person that called me like "Service Billable - Customer XYZ"
So how did this help me? If I got multiple phone calls a day and was too busy to track my time all I had to do was look at all the events on my timesheet and simply change the work item from "answering phone" to the work item required. Previous to that I would have to open my VOIP log and add the time event.
It doesn't seem like much but it was a pretty amazing time saver. One click, 5 seconds instead of 10-20 different operations for 20 seconds per. For me it's all about efficiency.
As I had this working before I would be willing to be a beta tester if required.
Thanks

Hi Jaydel
Zapier is an interesting one as it seems like it's becoming more and more relevant - we had a few customers asking about this lately. We don't have any definite plans for it yet though, so we will be monitoring this thread and other similar requests and prioritise accordingly.
Kind Regards,
