How to Sync Excel Time Data to Toggl Track

Sync clients, projects, tags, tasks, and time entries from Excel into your Toggl Track workspace — no CSV imports or manual entry.

If you run time tracking in Toggl Track, you probably still prepare or calculate a lot in Excel first — planned hours, project lists, client records. The Toggl connector lets you sync Excel to Toggl directly, so what you organise in a spreadsheet appears in your Toggl workspace without CSV imports or manual re-entry.

The short version

Get your Toggl API token and workspace ID, add the Toggl connector in ExForms, test the connection, and push your Excel data through. Clients, projects, tags, tasks, and time entries can all be created or updated from a sheet.

What you can sync

  • Clients — create and update client records.
  • Projects — create and update projects.
  • Tags — keep the tags used on time entries in sync.
  • Time entries — import and update tracked work.
  • Tasks — manage project tasks.
  • Workspace users — review and update workspace-user settings.

Before you start

You need three things: an active Toggl Track account, your personal Toggl API token, and the workspace ID you want to sync to.

Step by step

1. Get your API token

Log in to Toggl Track, click your profile icon (bottom left), open Profile Settings, scroll to the API section, click to reveal the token, and copy it.

2. Find your workspace ID

Open your Toggl workspace and look at the URL. The number right after /w/ is your workspace ID.

3. Add the connector in ExForms

In the add-in, open Other Destinations, choose Toggl Track, and enter a connection name, your workspace ID, and your API token.

4. Test and save

Click Test Connection to confirm ExForms can reach your workspace, then save. Map your Excel columns to Toggl fields and sync.

Where people use this
