New in Q2 for Clockify: Pumble Integration, Improved Windows App, and Team Filters
Clockify users can now get time tracking reminders and notifications about time off requests and approvals directly in Pumble.
Apart from that, we’ve improved the Auto tracker in the Windows app. You can also now filter your list of members by a wide variety of attributes.
Clockify-Pumble integration
At CAKE.com, we help teams work smarter. Now, our Clockify time tracker and Pumble messaging platform are even better together, sending you important Clockify updates directly to Pumble DM.
How Clockify and Pumble work together
Say goodbye to constantly switching tabs or digging through multiple inboxes!
Once you connect Clockify to Pumble, you'll instantly get alerts about your time tracking and time off directly in your Pumble workspace. This means you can react faster, and stay way more organized.
What notifications can you get?
Clockify helps keep your projects on track and your team accountable, and with this Pumble integration, you'll get real-time nudges for key updates like:
- Timesheet status: Instantly know when timesheets are submitted, approved, or rejected.
- Time off updates: Get alerts for time off requests, approvals, and even balance updates.
- Time tracking reminders: Get notified about missed time tracking targets or unsubmitted timesheets and expenses.
And as Managers and Admins, you'll also receive:
- Time tracking summaries for your teams,
- Approval requests for submitted timesheets, and
- Time off requests and their approvals.
These notifications are truly designed to help your whole team stay organized, hit those deadlines, and react quickly to anything new.
How to set up the Clockify-Pumble integration
Connecting Clockify with Pumble is really straightforward.
Automatic connection: If your Clockify and Pumble workspaces are both active and part of the same CAKE.com organization, chances are they'll connect on their own.
To integrate the apps manually, follow these steps:
- Open your Profile settings in Clockify and go to Preferences.
- Click on Pumble notifications.
- Connect your workspace.
If you're new to Pumble, you'll get a prompt to create a workspace.
Already have a Pumble account with the same email as your Clockify account? You can easily link it to an existing Pumble app workspace or even set up a new one.
If you've got a few Pumble workspaces, simply choose the one you want to connect with Clockify from the list.
Once you're connected, we'll send you a confirmation in both apps, and then you’ll be all set to manage your notification preferences.
Manage your notifications
Decide what notifications you want to get in your Pumble chat:
- Go to Preferences.
- Choose the Pumble notifications tab.
- Choose your connected Pumble workspace.
- Check or uncheck the specific Clockify notifications you want to receive. This includes:
- Time tracking reminders (daily, weekly, monthly),
- Time off updates (requests, balances), and
- Timesheet approvals (submitted, withdrawn, on behalf).
Stop notifications
Want a break from notifications? Just uncheck them all or select "none" as the notification type. You can always reconnect or choose a different Pumble workspace anytime you like.
A few important notes on the integration
As you start using Clockify and Pumble together, keep these few things in mind:
- User sync — Any active users from Clockify will need to be manually added to your Pumble workspace.
- Pumble changes don't affect Clockify — If you add or remove users in Pumble, it won't change anything in Clockify. You'll need to update both separately.
- Profile updates — If you change your email or profile details in Clockify, those updates will automatically show up in Pumble.
By bringing Clockify and Pumble together, you're truly streamlining your team's workflow within the CAKE.com ecosystem, helping everyone stay aware in real time and boosting overall collaboration.

Windows app updates
There’s also been a significant update to our Windows app, packed with new features and improvements designed to boost your experience and productivity.
Smarter auto tracking
- Auto logging now lets you set the Auto tracker to start and stop automatically with the app, as well as define specific time ranges for activity tracking.
- The Auto tracker timeline has been improved to display your entire day, offering greater visibility into your tracked activities.
- You can now also find specific activities with the Auto tracker search, which includes helpful suggestions to speed up your search process.
Enhanced user experience
We've refined many everyday interactions:
- Improved pickers: All pickers (for projects, tasks, tags, and custom fields) have received a significant upgrade in both appearance and functionality, making selection quicker and more seamless.
- Default project option enhanced: You now have more flexibility to choose your default project — either the last one you used or a specific project you designate.
- Color picker added: Personalize your projects by selecting a custom color directly within the app.
- Task estimate option added: You can now set an estimate for any task right from the Windows app, streamlining your planning.
Easier account management and performance
- A new account tab has been added to Preferences, providing quick and easy navigation to your account settings.
- We've included bug fixes and performance improvements to ensure the app runs smoothly and more reliably than ever before.
Team filters
The Team page now allows you to customize the view by adjusting which data you want to see or even export. With active filters, you can quickly find specific team members, edit their profiles, or assign roles easily.
You can control which columns are shown in the Team table by checking or unchecking available filters in the filter dropdown. This way, you can include or exclude information on team members, including:
- Billable rate,
- Cost rate,
- Role,
- Group,
- Week start,
- Workdays,
- Daily work capacity, and
- Assigned team manager.
Once the filters are applied, and the Team table’s columns are adjusted, you can even further sort the data by choosing specific values for each active filter.
For example, if you decide to increase the cost rate for certain teams, you can select specific groups and set the cost rate column to show only cost rates lower than $20.
Now your data will be more focused, allowing for quick value changes.
Simple or compound tax mode per invoice
Finally, besides setting your default invoice taxation mode as simple or compound, Clockify now allows you to choose the taxation mode for each invoice.
To customize the taxation mode:
- Open the invoice you’re working on.
- Scroll down to the Taxation mode section.
- Choose whether the Simple or the Compound taxation mode should be applied.
Now, tax settings will be customized for each client, ensuring your invoices comply with the necessary tax rules.
