Where professional services teams use it
Inbound triage

Cross-tool data sync
Keep Timely in lockstep with your CRM, billing, or document system so the same record never has to be updated twice.
Document workflows

Notifications & approvals
Send the right person the right Timely update — by email, Slack, or Teams — and capture approvals back into the originating record.
Questions about automating Timely
Does Caddi have a real Timely integration?
Yes. Caddi runs verified code against Timely's official APIs (and uses a secure, audited browser session when an API isn't available). Every automation Caddi builds for Timely is reviewed before it runs in production.
Do I need engineering help to automate Timely with Caddi?
No. You demonstrate the workflow — clicking through Timely the way you normally would — and Caddi turns it into a verified, repeatable automation. No code, no IT ticket, no Zapier-style wiring.
Is my Timely data safe?
Caddi is SOC 2 attested. Our AI watches and builds the automation, but it never touches client data at runtime — once the automation is generated, it executes deterministically against Timely with no model in the loop.
Can Caddi connect Timely to the rest of my stack?
That's the point. Most Caddi automations span 3-6 tools — for example, pulling data out of an email, updating Timely, filing a document in cloud storage, and posting a confirmation in Slack or Teams. Every tool on the integrations page is fair game.
