Automate Work Attendance with Location-Based Time Tracking
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly track your work attendance using your location. This automation triggers check-in and check-out entries automatically based on your geofence, eliminating manual logging and ensuring accurate records.
About This Workflow
Tired of manually logging your work hours? This n8n workflow automates your time tracking by leveraging your device's location. When you enter or exit a predefined area, the workflow automatically records your check-in or check-out time in a Google Sheet. It intelligently checks for an existing tracking sheet and creates one if it doesn't exist, ensuring a seamless experience. Perfect for businesses looking to streamline attendance management, freelancers needing precise work hour logs, or anyone who wants a hands-off approach to time tracking.
Key Features
- Automatic Time Logging: Triggers check-in/check-out based on entering/exiting a specified location.
- Dynamic Google Sheets Integration: Automatically creates a 'WorkTimeTracking' spreadsheet and 'Worklog' sheet if they don't exist.
- Effortless Setup: Simple configuration using iPhone Shortcuts for seamless integration.
- Accurate Record Keeping: Ensures precise timestamps for attendance and project tracking.
- Flexible Direction: Logs both 'Check-In' and 'Check-Out' events.
How To Use
- Set up iPhone Shortcuts: Create two shortcuts named "Check-In" and "Check-Out" on your iPhone.
- Configure Shortcut Action: Within each shortcut, add a "Get Content from URL" action.
- Webhook URL: Use the provided webhook URL from your n8n instance (e.g.,
YOUR_N8N_URL/api/v1/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID). - Set Direction Header: For the "Check-In" shortcut, add a header named 'direction' with the value 'Check-In'. For the "Check-Out" shortcut, use 'Check-Out' as the value for the 'direction' header.
- n8n Workflow Configuration: Ensure your n8n workflow is active and your Google Drive and Google Sheets accounts are authenticated.
- Location Trigger: Configure your iPhone's automation to trigger these shortcuts when you enter or exit a specific location.
