# Integrate Teamwork with Databox

Teamwork is a project and work management platform designed to help agencies, service businesses, and client-facing teams plan projects, track time, and manage client work in one place. It combines task management, time tracking, resource planning, and billing into a single tool trusted by over 20,000 companies worldwide. Connecting Teamwork to Databox brings your project and productivity data alongside metrics from your other tools, so you can monitor task completion, time allocation, and workload in a unified view.

## Connection

### Before you begin

### Step 1: Sign in to Teamwork

To connect Teamwork to your Databox account for the [first time](/add-a-connection) or with new credentials, sign in with your **Email address** and **Password**, then click **Log in**. Alternatively, use **Log in with Google** or **Single Sign On (SSO)** if your team uses either of those methods.

Once logged in, you are redirected back to Databox and the connection is established.

## Metric Builder

The Teamwork integration allows you to create custom metrics using the metric builder, ideal for visualizing data not included in the basic metrics offered by the integration.

teamwork-metric-builder
To create a custom metric, start by selecting an entity using the radio buttons at the top of the metric builder — either **Tasks** or **Time Tracking**. Then select a metric from the **Metric** selector. Next, customize your metric by optionally adding a dimension, selecting a date filter, and applying one or more filters. The available options depend on the selected entity and data type (e.g., number, text, etc.).

The entities accessible for metric creation are listed below.

### Tasks

The Tasks entity covers work items created within your Teamwork projects, including their status, priority, and due dates. Use it to measure task volume, track overdue work, and monitor how tasks are progressing across projects and team members.

Select a **Metric** (such as **Number Of Tasks** or **Estimated Time**) and optionally add a **Dimension** to segment results. Use the **Date Filter** to choose between **Completed Date** and **Due Date**, and set a **Date Range** (e.g. Last 28 Days). Use **Request Parameters** to refine which tasks are included by adding **Attribute** / **Value** pairs — for example, set **Attribute** to **Include** and **Value** to **Overdue** to count only overdue tasks. Use **Additional Filters** to narrow results further by fields such as **Priority**.

 **In Teamwork:** Go to the **Tasks** section within any project to view and manage tasks across your workspace.

### Time Tracking

The Time Tracking entity covers logged time entries recorded against tasks and projects in Teamwork. Use it to measure time spent, analyze workload distribution, and compare estimated versus actual time across projects and team members.

Select **Time** as the metric and optionally add a **Dimension**. Use the **Date** dropdown to choose the timestamp to filter by, and apply one or more **Filters** to scope the results by specific fields.

 **In Teamwork:** Go to the **Time** section in the left navigation to view time logs across all projects.

## Resources

For comprehensive details on metrics, data availability, templates, specifications, usage guidelines, and other key information, refer to the resources listed below.

Teamwork may display a CAPTCHA-style check ("Let's confirm you are human") before showing the login page. Click **Begin** to pass the check and proceed to the standard Teamwork login screen. This is a routine security measure on Teamwork's side and does not affect the connection.
