Automate Your Attendance with Location-Triggered Time Tracking
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly track your work attendance using your device's location. This automation creates a Google Sheet to log check-ins and check-outs automatically, eliminating manual entry and ensuring accuracy.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow revolutionizes attendance tracking by leveraging the power of location-based triggers. Forget manual punch-ins or complex timesheet entries. Simply set up two iPhone shortcuts – 'Check-In' and 'Check-Out' – that call a webhook. When you enter or leave a designated area, your iPhone will automatically send your location and the time to your personalized Google Sheet. The workflow intelligently checks if your tracking sheet exists, creating it if necessary, and then appends your attendance data with the date, time, and direction (Check-In/Check-Out). This ensures a seamless, accurate, and automated record of your work hours or time spent at specific locations.
Key Features
- Automatic Attendance Logging: No more manual data entry; attendance is recorded automatically based on your location.
- Location-Based Triggers: Utilizes geofencing to trigger check-ins and check-outs.
- Dynamic Google Sheet Creation: Automatically creates a dedicated 'WorkTimeTracking' Google Sheet if it doesn't exist.
- Real-time Data Updates: Instantly logs your arrival and departure times into your Google Sheet.
- Customizable Workflows: Easily adaptable for various location-tracking needs beyond just work attendance.
How To Use
- Set up iPhone Shortcuts: Create two shortcuts on your iPhone named 'Check-In' and 'Check-Out'.
- Configure Webhook in Shortcuts: Within each shortcut, use the 'Get Content from URL' action. The URL will be provided by the n8n webhook node (once the workflow is activated). Set the 'Direction' header to 'Check-In' for the Check-In shortcut and 'Check-Out' for the Check-Out shortcut.
- Activate n8n Workflow: Save and activate this n8n workflow.
- Connect Google Account: Ensure your Google Drive and Google Sheets accounts are connected and authorized within n8n.
- Test: Trigger your iPhone shortcuts by entering or leaving your designated location to test the automation. Check your Google Sheet for the logged entries.
