How to automate timers to stop when it's outside of working hours and business days?

Hey @UFAI - you could utilize some automations to help manage this along with a status & date column to tell the time-tracking to stop (and start if needed).

Add a Status column (let’s call it Time Control) with three options: Stop, Start, and “-” (default option), and a Date column (called “Today’s Date”). Then create a few simple automations:

  • When (at 5:00pm for example) “Today’s Date” arrives change “Time Control” to Stop, then change “Time Control” to - and then push “Today’s Date” by 1 day
  • When Status changes to “Stop”, stop time-tracking

You could also utilize the columns to auto-start the time tracking (at 9:00am for instance) if wanted.

Hope this helps and feel free to reach out anytime!
