Desktime Webflow Integration
Desktime provides tools for Webflow users to streamline workflows and add features.
DeskTime surfaces real-time productivity data inside your Webflow client portal or internal dashboard, giving stakeholders visibility into how time is spent across projects
For agencies and freelancers using Webflow to build client-facing reporting hubs, integrating DeskTime means clients can log in and see live hours tracked, productivity scores, and project progress without needing access to your internal time-tracking system
This transforms time tracking from a behind-the-scenes admin task into a transparent client-facing feature
The integration is especially powerful for retainer-based agencies that bill by the hour
Your Webflow client portal can display a real-time dashboard showing hours logged this month, productivity breakdown by project, and automated alerts when budgets are approaching their limits
This prevents the awkward end-of-month conversation where a client is surprised by their bill
Instead, they see exactly where their retainer hours are going, which builds trust and often leads to upsells when clients understand the value they're receiving
DeskTime's REST API provides endpoints for projects, tasks, time entries, productivity data, and team activity
You'll build a server-side proxy (a Node.js function or similar) that authenticates with DeskTime using OAuth 2.0 and fetches data on behalf of your Webflow frontend
The API returns structured JSON with granular time data down to the minute, which you can aggregate and display in whatever format fits your Webflow dashboard design
Rate limits are moderate, so implement caching for frequently accessed endpoints.

Desktime FAQs
Common questions about using Desktime with Webflow.
Yes, you can build a client-facing dashboard in Webflow that pulls DeskTime data filtered by project or client Your middleware layer handles authentication and data filtering, ensuring Client A sees only their project's time entries Webflow Memberships handles the login flow, and the dashboard renders DeskTime data dynamically using custom JavaScript embeds that call your proxy API.
Never embed DeskTime API keys in client-side Webflow code Instead, build a serverless proxy function (using Netlify Functions, Vercel, or AWS Lambda) that holds your DeskTime credentials securely and exposes only the filtered data your Webflow dashboard needs This proxy authenticates with DeskTime via OAuth, fetches the relevant time data, and returns it to your Webflow frontend in a format optimized for your dashboard components.
Hours logged per project, productivity percentage, time breakdown by task category, and project budget utilization are the four metrics clients care about most Productivity scores give clients insight into focused vs unfocused time Budget utilization shows them how much of their retainer or project budget has been consumed, helping them make informed decisions about scope changes You can display these as progress bars, donut charts, or simple stat cards in your Webflow dashboard.
DeskTime doesn't handle invoicing directly, but you can export time data via the API and feed it into an invoicing tool like QuickBooks or Xero A middleware workflow can fetch DeskTime hours at the end of each billing period, calculate totals based on your hourly rate, and generate an invoice You can then display the invoice status and payment link on your Webflow client portal, creating an end-to-end time-to-payment pipeline.
Yes, DeskTime is widely used by freelancers who want to provide transparent billing to clients The automatic time tracking captures work activity without manual timers, so clients trust that the hours are accurate By surfacing this data on a Webflow client portal, you turn time tracking from a perceived surveillance tool into a value demonstration, showing clients the actual effort behind deliverables they might otherwise undervalue.
