FAQ

Common questions

Can Knit build “Start tracking time when starting a task” between HubStaff and JobTread?

Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches HubStaff and JobTread's public API docs (or your own uploaded docs) and builds a working workflow, whether or not either app already has a pre-built connector.

How long does it take to build?

Minutes to a first working version, not weeks — you test it against real data before it goes anywhere near production.

Yes, completing a task or starting work in JobTread can automatically launch a timer or create a finalized time entry in HubStaff.
