¡Caution! Piso mojado!

These documents are currently under revision. We are getting close to releasing a major update to Tempo, and we are updating the Help section to match the new interface and views. This update is mostly design-focused, but there are some API changes as well. Read more about it all on our blog.

Just log into Tempo and enter your Twitter ID on the Account section. Be sure to save your profile at the bottom of the page before continuing.

Once Tempo knows your Twitter ID you can log time entries by sending a direct message to our ‘keeptempo’ account. The message must begin with d keeptempo and follow the standard message format. Consider the following example that logs 2 hours to the project ‘Tempo’ with ‘html’ and ‘documentation’ as tags:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Our keeptempo account must follow your account in order for us to recieve your messages (this is Twitter’s requirement, not ours). Tempo follows you automatically when add your Twitter id to your profile so you usually won’t need to do anything. However, if you have your Twitter account set to “protected”, then you must explicitly accept our friend request or you won’t be able to log time.
