πŸš€ Key Features

  • Automated Google Sheets time-tracking β€” zero spreadsheet prep.
  • AI-generated activity summaries (≀ 120 chars) via OpenAI GPT-4o-mini.
  • Gmail integration β€” logs only important emails, skipping newsletters & no-replies.
  • Google Calendar time logger β€” captures confirmed events, duration, and attendees.
  • GitHub commit & PR tracker β€” records your commits plus opened/closed PRs.
  • Daily 7 PM cron trigger (easily adjustable).
  • Month-based sheet creation β€” new tab spins up on the first run each month.
  • No-code n8n template β€” just connect credentials and tweak one Set Variables node.
  • πŸ”Œ Easily extensible β€” drag-and-drop extra n8n nodes to add Slack, Jira, Notion, Asana, Trello, Toggl, or any other data source you need.

πŸ” How It Works

  1. Collect β€” n8n pulls data from Gmail, Google Calendar, and chosen GitHub repos.
  2. Clean β€” filters remove noise (newsletters, irrelevant commits, etc.).
  3. Condense β€” OpenAI rewrites each item into a concise, SEO-friendly description.
  4. Write β€” workflow appends Date, Type, and Description to your Timesheet Google Sheet.
  5. Extend β€” simply insert new n8n nodes (e.g., Slack, Notion, Jira) and merge them into the same pipeline.

πŸ“ˆ Benefits for SEO-Minded Professionals

  • Keyword-rich activity log improves internal search and reporting.
  • Structured data in Sheets simplifies export to accounting or PM tools.
  • Consistent naming (CALENDAR_EVENT, EMAIL, COMMIT, PR) makes analytics easy.

βœ… Why Choose AutoTimesheet Pro?

  • Zero manual entry β€” just open the sheet and bill clients.
  • Immediate visibility into where your hours went.
  • Works with any GitHub repo list and any inbox you own.
  • 100 % no-code setup β€” activate in minutes.
  • Built on n8n, so you can customize and scale without limits.
