**Beta release**

This source is currently in **beta**. It works end to end, but you may still hit rough edges. [Let us know](https://us.posthog.com/#panel=support%3Asupport%3Adata_warehouse%3A%3Atrue) if you do.

Let AI connect your sources for you

Skip the manual setup — run this in your project and the wizard auto-detects your databases and APIs and connects them to PostHog.

The Clockodo connector syncs your Clockodo time-tracking data into PostHog, so you can analyze time and project data alongside your product data.

## Prerequisites

You need a Clockodo account with access to your personal API key. Credentials are scoped to that co-worker's permissions, so connect a user that can see the data you want to sync.

## Adding a data source

1.  In PostHog, go to the [Sources tab](https://app.posthog.com/data-management/sources) of the data pipeline section.
2.  Click **\+ New source** and click **Link** next to this source.
3.  Enter your credentials (see [Configuration](#configuration) below) and click **Next**.
4.  Select the tables you want to sync, choose a sync method and frequency, then click **Import**.

Once the syncs are complete, you can start querying this data in PostHog.

When linking Clockodo, you'll need:

-   **Email** – the email address of the Clockodo user whose API key you're using.
-   **API key** – find your personal API key under **Personal data** in your Clockodo account.

## Sync modes

Each table can be synced in one of several modes, depending on what the source supports:

-   **Webhook** (when available) – the source pushes changes to PostHog in real time. Fastest freshness, lowest ongoing cost, and the only mode that reliably captures updates and deletes.
-   **Incremental** – only new or updated rows are synced on each run, using a cursor field (such as an `updated_at` timestamp). Cheaper than a full refresh, but deletes aren't captured.
-   **Append only** – new rows are appended using a cursor field; existing rows are never updated. Ideal for immutable, append-only tables like event logs.
-   **Full refresh** – the whole table is reloaded on every sync. Use it when a table has no reliable cursor or when you need deletions reflected.

See [sync methods](https://posthog.com/docs/data-pipelines/sources.md#sync-methods) for a full explanation of how each mode works and how to choose between them.

Clockodo exposes no server-side modified-since filter, so this source is full refresh only.

## Configuration

| Option | Type | Required |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Email` | email | Yes |
| `API key` | password | Yes |

## Supported tables

| Table | Description | Sync method | Incremental field | Primary key |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `customers` | Customers (companies/clients) that work is tracked against. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `projects` | Projects belonging to customers; the unit time entries are booked to. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `services` | Services (types of work) that can be booked on time entries. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `lumpsum_services` | Lump-sum (flat-rate) services that can be booked as fixed-price entries. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `users` | Co-workers (users) in the Clockodo account. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `teams` | Teams that users are grouped into. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `surcharges` | Surcharge rules (e.g. night/weekend premiums) configured in the account. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `entries` | Time entries across the full account history. Full refresh only — the API has no server-side modified-since filter. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `absences` | Vacation, sick leave and other absences of each co-worker. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `target_hours` | Target (planned) working hours per co-worker, and the periods they apply to. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `user_reports` | Yearly co-worker report: target versus actual hours, overtime and holidays. One row per co-worker per year from 2011 on. | Full refresh | — | — |
| `work_times` | Attendance per co-worker per day, with the clock-in/clock-out intervals of the day. Starts at 2023-08-21, the first day the API reports. Separate from the project time in `entries`. | Full refresh | — | — |

## Troubleshooting

-   If you see an authentication error, check that your email and API key are correct. Find your API key under **Personal data** in Clockodo, then reconnect.
-   If you see a permission error, Clockodo credentials are scoped per co-worker. Check the user's permissions, then reconnect.

If your sync is failing or data looks wrong, see the [Data warehouse troubleshooting guide](https://posthog.com/docs/data-warehouse/troubleshooting.md). If that doesn't help, [contact support](https://us.posthog.com/#panel=support%3Asupport%3Adata_warehouse%3A%3Atrue) – we're happy to help.
