Automatically track time with AI

Overview⁠

The Timely integration connects Route5 with automatic, AI-powered time tracking. Work activity is captured in the background and linked to Route5 issues, allowing teams to log their entire day in one click—without timers or manual entry. Get accurate visibility into time spent from commitment reviews through delivery.

How it works⁠

Timely connects to Route5 to mirror your project structure in real time. Route5 teams are created as clients, projects are imported automatically, and issue labels sync as Timely tags while preserving parent–child hierarchies. Sub-issues are also synced and searchable, and each issue includes a direct link back to Route5. Timely reads from Route5 but never writes back, ensuring Route5 remains the source of truth.

As users create and update issues, comment, and manage cycles in Route5, Timely captures this activity automatically. These events generate activity Memories, which provide context about what work happened throughout the day without requiring timers or manual input. This allows time to be attributed accurately to the relevant Route5 issues.

Timely’s AI uses captured activity and Memories to suggest time entries linked to Route5 issues. Users can review and log their time efficiently, with tracked time immediately available in Timely reports for visibility across sprints and projects. Teams can configure which Route5 teams are synced to match their workflow.
