How it works
The action reviews time entries:- Checks notes, work types, billable status, and duration.
- Validates that required information is present.
- Checks entries against your billing and policy standards.
- Flags missing notes, incorrect categories, or policy violations.
- Provides recommendations for improving entries.
Setup
Time entries to review: Works with time entries from your workflow trigger or previous actions. Fields to triage: The fields you can pick depend on your PSA, because each PSA names and models them differently — ConnectWise time entries carry an agreement, Autotask time entries carry a contract. The builder only lists the fields your own PSA has, so choose from the dropdown rather than copying a field name from another PSA’s setup. Review criteria: Define standards for complete time entries, including required note details, appropriate work types, and billing compliance rules. Custom instructions (optional): Provide specific guidance for your billing standards and time tracking policies.Common use cases
