FlutterFlow and Toggl integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2024

• Visit the Toggl registration page and sign up for an account. If you already have an account, simply log in.

• Once logged in, navigate to your profile settings by clicking on your avatar or profile picture.
• Locate the API Token section and copy your unique API key. This will be needed later for integration.

• Sign up or log in to FlutterFlow and create a new project.
• Select a template or start from scratch depending on your specific needs.

• Access the project settings by clicking on the settings icon typically located in the top-right corner of the FlutterFlow dashboard.

• In the FlutterFlow project settings, navigate to the Actions tab.
• Create a new action by clicking on the + Add Custom Action button.

• Set up an HTTP request action to communicate with Toggl’s API.
• Choose HTTP Request as the action type.
• Input the required endpoint URL from Toggl’s API documentation (e.g., to start a time entry, use https://api.track.toggl.com/api/v8/time\_entries/start).
• Set the HTTP method to POST for actions like creating or starting a time entry.

• Include the required headers for the HTTP request. Typically, you would need:
• Authorization: Basic base64_encoded(api_token:api\_token)
• Content-Type: application/json
• You can use online tools or libraries in FlutterFlow to Base64 encode your API token.

• Define the JSON payload based on the Toggl API endpoint you’re interacting with. For instance:

{
  "time\_entry": {
    "description": "Task description",
    "start": "2023-10-01T08:00:00+00:00",
    "duration": 3600,
    "created\_with": "flutterflow"
  }
}
  

• Ensure the payload fields match the requirements specified in the Toggl API documentation.

• Design a simple page within FlutterFlow to test the integration.
• Add a button to trigger the custom action created in Step 3.

• Set the button’s action to call the custom HTTP request action you configured earlier.
• Pass any necessary parameters, such as task descriptions or durations, through the button action configuration.

• Run the FlutterFlow project to test if the integration works as expected.
• Check for successful interactions by ensuring new time entries appear in your Toggl account.

• Implement error handling by checking the response status codes and messages.
• Display error messages to the user if the API call fails using FlutterFlow's built-in notification widgets.

• Complete the rest of your project design, integrating the Toggl custom actions where necessary.

• Once the app is fully built and tested, proceed with deploying it to your target platform (e.g., iOS, Android).
