Connecting Toggl
Toggl setup requirements
To set up Toggl in Stitch, you need:
-
Admin access to the workspaces you want to replicate time entry data from, if replicating from multiple workspaces. Stitch is only able to access the same data as the user whose API token is used to authenticate the integration. Toggl’s API limits retrieving time entry data to the user’s own time entries and the time entries in a workspace where they are also an Admin.
Step 1: Retrieve your Toggl API token
Verify your Toggl workspace permissions:
Your Toggl API token is specific to you. When replicating data, Stitch will only be able to access the same data as you in Toggl.
To replicate time entry data from multiple workspaces, you must be an Admin in the workspace you want to replicate data from. Verify that you have this permission in Toggl before proceeding.
- Sign into your Toggl account.
- Click the Workspace menu in the lower left corner.
- Click Profile settings.
-
Locate the API token field, which is highlighted in the image below:
- Copy the API token.
Keep this handy - you’ll need it to complete the next step.
Step 2: Add Toggl as a Stitch data source
- Sign into your Stitch account.
-
On the Stitch Dashboard page, click the Add Integration button.
-
Click the Toggl icon.
-
Enter a name for the integration. This is the name that will display on the Stitch Dashboard for the integration; it’ll also be used to create the schema in your destination.
For example, the name “Stitch Toggl” would create a schema called
stitch_togglin the destination. Note: Schema names cannot be changed after you save the integration. - In the API Token field, paste the API token you retrieve in Step 1.
-
In the Trailing Days field, enter the number of days Stitch should use as an attribution window when replicating time entry data. Note: This is only applicable to the
time_entriestable.For example: If this value is
5, Stitch will replicate the past five days’ worth of data for thetime_entriestable during every replication job.
Step 3: Define the historical sync
The Sync Historical Data setting will define the starting date for your Toggl integration. This means that:
- For tables using Incremental Replication, data equal to or newer than this date will be replicated to your data warehouse.
- For tables using Full Table Replication, all data - including records that are older, equal to, or newer than this date - will be replicated to your data warehouse.
Change this setting if you want to replicate data beyond Toggl’s default setting of 1 year. For a detailed look at historical replication jobs, check out the Syncing Historical SaaS Data guide.
Step 4: Create a replication schedule
In the Replication Frequency section, you’ll create the integration’s replication schedule. An integration’s replication schedule determines how often Stitch runs a replication job, and the time that job begins.
Toggl integrations support the following replication scheduling methods:
To keep your row usage low, consider setting the integration to replicate less frequently. See the Understanding and Reducing Your Row Usage guide for tips on reducing your usage.
Step 5: Set tables and columns to replicate
To complete the setup, you’ll need to select the tables and columns you want to replicate to your data warehouse.
Check out the Schema section to learn more about the available tables in Toggl and how they replicate.
- In the list of tables that displays - or in the Tables to Replicate tab, if you skipped this step during setup - locate a table you want to replicate.
-
To track a table, click the checkbox next to the table’s name. A green checkmark means the table is set to replicate.
-
To track a column, click the checkbox next to the column’s name. A green checkmark means the column is set to replicate.
- Repeat this process for all the tables and columns you want to replicate.
- When finished, click the Finalize Your Selections button at the bottom of the screen to save your selections.
Note: If you change these settings while a replication job is still in progress, they will not be used until the next job starts.
Initial and historical replication jobs
After you finish setting up Toggl, its Sync Status may show as Pending on either the Stitch Dashboard or in the Integration Details page.
For a new integration, a Pending status indicates that Stitch is in the process of scheduling the initial replication job for the integration. This may take some time to complete.
Initial replication jobs with Anchor Scheduling
If using Anchor Scheduling, an initial replication job may not kick off immediately. This depends on the selected Replication Frequency and Anchor Time. Refer to the Anchor Scheduling documentation for more information.
Free historical data loads
The first seven days of replication, beginning when data is first replicated, are free. Rows replicated from the new integration during this time won’t count towards your quota. Stitch offers this as a way of testing new integrations, measuring usage, and ensuring historical data volumes don’t quickly consume your quota.
Toggl Replication
Replicating time entry data
The time_entries table uses the Trailing Days setting as an attribution window during replication. This means that the number entered into the Trailing Days field in the Integration Settings page is the number of days Stitch will query time entry data for during every replication job.
For example: If you set Trailing Days to 5, Stitch will query for and replicate the past five days’ worth of data during every replication job for the time_entries table.
While time_entries is replicated incrementally - in that only data from the number of trailing days is replicated during each job - a high number of days being used as the attribution window can increase your row usage.
Toggl table schemas
Table and column names in your destination
Depending on your destination, table and column names may not appear as they are outlined below.
For example: Object names are lowercased in Redshift (CusTomERs > customers), while case is maintained in PostgreSQL destinations (CusTomERs > CusTomERs). Refer to the Loading Guide for your destination for more info.

Time entries and user permissions
The time entries Stitch replicates are dependent upon the user whose API token is used to create the integration in Stitch. Stitch is only able to access the same data as the user whose token is used.
For example: If the user is unable to access a workspace, or is not an Admin in that workspace, Stitch will not be able to replicate time entry data for those workspaces. In this case, only the user’s own time entries will be accessible by Stitch.
If data from a workspace is missing, verify that the user whose API token is being used in Stitch has Admin permissions in that workspace.
