1.1 Workflow description

Title
Sync Notion to Clockify including clients projects and tasks
Workflow name
Sync Notion to Clockify including clients projects and tasks

Purpose

This workflow synchronizes three entities from Notion to Clockify, allowing tracked time to be linked to client-related projects or tasks.

Demo & Explanation

How it works

  • On every run active Clients, Projects and Tasks are retrieved from both Notion and Clockify before being compared by the Clockify ID, which is again stored in Notion for reference
  • Potential differences are then applied to Clockify
  • If an item has been archived or closed in Notion, it is also marked as archived in Clockify
  • All entities are processed sequentially, since they are related hierarchically to each other
  • By default this workflow runs once per day or when called via webhook (e.g. embedded into a Notion Button)

Prerequisites

  • A set of Notion databases with a specific structure is required to use this workflow
  • You can either start with this Notion Template or adapt your system based on the requirements described in the big yellow sticky note of this workflow template

Setup

  • Clone the workflow and select the belonging credentials
  • Follow the instructions given in the yellow sticky notes
  • Activate the workflow

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/3177/3177.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.
