Task-based Assignee billing via Time Tracking

This workflow automates billing by scanning a target Dartboard on schedule, aggregating time logs from completed tasks, cross‑referencing assignee rates in Google Sheets, calculating total pay, and updating the sheet with final billable hours and amounts.

Who's it for

Individuals, agencies, companies, and project managers automating payroll or client invoicing from task data.

How to setup

  • Link your Dart and Google accounts.
  • Replace the dummy ID in the List tasks node with your actual target Dartboard ID.
  • Set your preferred run frequency (e.g., Weekly).
  • Create a Google Sheet with these exact headers: Name, HourlyRate, TotalHours, TotalPay, DateCalculated.
  • Connect the Sheet nodes to your file. Pre-fill Name (matching Dart Assignees exactly) and HourlyRate in your Google Spreadsheet.
  • Optional: Add a last header column in the sheet as a Status header to track if the bill is paid or pending.

Customizing the workflow

  • Choose your AI model for your AI time tracking and assignee scanner
  • Use your own google sheet account and target spreadsheet document

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/11257/11257.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
