Automate your RescueTime integrations

With IFTTT and RescueTime, you can automate time tracking and enhance productivity. Connect RescueTime's triggers with other services to create workflows that help you manage your time effectively, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

Create your own RescueTime workflow

Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
