Freshteam is a smart HR software that helps you handle recruiting, employee onboarding, and time off all in one place.

What can you do with our Freshteam Time Tracking Integration?

The integration is a 1-way sync from Freshteam to Jibble.
Jibble’s integration with Freshteam supports employee creation, edits and termination which will be automatically synced with Jibble when changes are made in Freshteam.
Employee worked hours on Jibble timesheets can be viewed directly in Freshteam.

This integration is available on all of Jibble’s subscription plans.

In this guide, we’ll cover:

Requirements to ensure proper integration setup

The integration is a 1-way sync from Freshteam to Jibble, once the integration is set up, employee data should not be edited directly on Jibble.
If a new department is created on Freshteam, please make sure you create a new group on Jibble as well to ensure that employee data will be updated correctly.
“Group” name in your Jibble account needs to be of the same spelling and case as “Departments” on Freshteam. For example, if you have Sales and Marketing as “Departments” on Freshteam, please make sure that you create a “Group” named Sales and Marketing on Jibble.
- These are case sensitive, so sales with a lowercase ‘s’ will not be synced correctly.
