Getting started
Connecting Clockspot to ChatGPT
Connect a Clockspot account from ChatGPT, review permissions, and understand how this differs from API keys.
Start from ChatGPT
Begin the connection from ChatGPT. Clockspot needs the authorization request from ChatGPT before it can verify what account and permissions are being requested.
If Clockspot says to start the connection from ChatGPT, go back to ChatGPT and restart the connect flow there.
Choose the Clockspot account
If you belong to more than one Clockspot account, choose the account you want ChatGPT to use. The connection applies to the selected account.
If the wrong account is selected, cancel and restart the connection from ChatGPT.
Review permissions
The permission screen shows what ChatGPT is asking Clockspot to allow. Depending on the request, permissions may include:
- Account — company, employees, jobs, locations, and clock-in setup.
- Employees — roles, statuses, hire dates, invitations, jobs, and assignments.
- Time tracking — time entries, timesheet approvals, and edit requests.
- Time off — requests, entries, balances, types, and accrual rules.
- Pay rates — pay history, payroll reports, employee rates, or job rates.
- Rules — overtime rules, schedules, workweek start day, and rounding.
- Reports — available reports, results, filters, and downloads.
Only grant the connection if the account and permissions look right. If the screen says the connection is read-only, it cannot edit Clockspot.
After connecting
Return to ChatGPT and ask questions about Clockspot using the connected account. Revoke access from ChatGPT when you no longer want the connection active.
You do not need an API key for this ChatGPT connection. API Keys are for other tools that ask you to paste a Clockspot key manually.
Common questions
- Do I need an API key?
No. Start from ChatGPT and use the connection screen. API keys are for other tools that ask you to paste a Clockspot key manually.
- Can ChatGPT edit Clockspot?
Only if the connection asks for and receives edit permissions. If the screen says the connection is read-only, it cannot edit Clockspot.
- Where do I revoke access?
Revoke the Clockspot connection from ChatGPT when you no longer want ChatGPT to use that account.
