Automate Timely with Caddi

Built for professional services teams.

Timely tracks the hours — Caddi turns them into billable invoices and posts to the right accounting and billing systems.

Why automate it

The work around Timely is where time disappears.

Time tracking only pays off when the data flows into invoicing cleanly. Caddi handles the handoff so finance teams don't reconcile manually.

FAQ

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 once — 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.
