What it does

his workflow automates time tracking using location-based triggers. How it works - Trigger: It starts when you enter or exit a specified location, triggering a shortcut on your iPhone. - Webhook: The shortcut sends a request to a webhook in n8n. - Check-In/Check-Out: The webhook receives the request and records the time and whether it was a "Check-In" or "Check-Out" event. - Google Sheets: This data is then logged into a Google Sheet, creating a record of your work hours. Set up steps 1. Google Drive: Connect your Google Drive account. 2. Google Sheets: Connect your Google Sheets account. 3. Webhook: Set up a webhook node in n8n. 4. iPhone Shortcuts: Create two shortcuts on your iPhone, one for "Check-In" and one for "Check-Out." 5. Configure Shortcuts: Configure each shortcut to send a request to the webhook with the appropriate "Direction" header. It's easy to setup, around 5 minutes.
