Why Connect Salesforce to Timely?

Timely adds complexity: integration ecosystem is limited compared to Cliniko, with fewer connections to broader business tools and marketing platforms

Manually copying data between Salesforce and Timely wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Client engagement details in Salesforce and time-tracking data in Timely do not align, making billing inaccurate

No single source of truth when contacts live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Transaction data in Salesforce requires manual verification against Timely, increasing audit risk

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Salesforce and Timely aligned

Reporting across Salesforce and Timely requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Leads in Salesforce and clients in Timely drift out of sync, leading to outdated details on invoices, emails, and reports

How We Help

Australian mid-market businesses lose hours every week copying contacts and reports between Salesforce and Timely. Clever Ops builds a custom integration that automates this entire workflow, so your team can redirect that time to higher-value tasks. On the technical side, Salesforce uses a REST API with OAuth authentication, and Timely authenticates via API key, which our team handles as part of the build.

Amplify Salesforce Strengths

Salesforce excels because unmatched customisation depth - virtually every field, object, workflow, and page layout can be tailored to your exact business processes. Connecting it to Timely ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying contacts between Salesforce and Timely by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Salesforce and Timely in sync, even as your business doubles.

Maximise Billable Hours

When time-tracking and client data sync between Salesforce and Timely automatically, your consultants spend more time on client work and less on admin.

Salesforce to Timely Use Cases

Sync Salesforce leads to Timely clients

When a lead is created or updated in Salesforce, the corresponding client record in Timely is automatically created or updated. Contact details, company associations, and custom fields are all mapped.

Automated error handling and retry for Salesforce/Timely sync

When a sync between Salesforce and Timely fails due to a rate limit, network issue, or validation error, the integration retries automatically with exponential backoff. Your team is alerted only when intervention is genuinely needed.
