About WakaTime
WakaTime is an automatic time tracking platform for developers that integrates with code editors and IDEs to capture coding activity, project progress, and individual productivity metrics. It eliminates manual timesheet entry and provides teams with accurate insights into where development time is spent.
Saysimple customers in software agencies and tech-focused businesses can combine WakaTime's productivity tracking with Saysimple's shared WhatsApp inbox to streamline client updates and billing. Teams stay connected with clients through WhatsApp while WakaTime automatically tracks billable hours, enabling seamless time-to-invoice workflows and transparent client communication about project progress.
Popular use cases
Transparent Client Updates on Project Hours
Development teams use Saysimple to send WhatsApp updates to clients about project milestones and completion status. By pulling WakaTime data, agents can reference exact coding hours spent and share progress metrics directly in WhatsApp conversations, building trust and justifying invoice amounts without manual calculation.
Automated Time-Based Billing Notifications
When hourly caps or project budgets near completion, WakaTime data synced to Saysimple can trigger automated WhatsApp alerts to clients about billable hours consumed. This prevents scope creep, keeps clients informed in real-time, and reduces billing disputes by providing transparent, timestamped evidence of development work.
Team Performance Reporting via WhatsApp
Project managers use Saysimple to broadcast weekly productivity summaries to dev team members via WhatsApp, powered by WakaTime insights. This keeps remote and distributed teams aligned on individual contributions, project velocity, and resource allocation without requiring access to separate dashboards.
