Are gStride AI integrations two-way?

Most are two-way for context capture; write-back is selective by design. Calendar, Jira, Linear, GitHub, GitLab, Asana, and Notion are read for signal capture (focus blocks, issue movement, commit cadence). Slack and Teams are bidirectional — gStride reads chat presence and sends daily digests, focus-block prompts, and AI signal pings into a chosen channel. HubSpot and Salesforce are read for CRM signal; gStride writes back account-touch hours into a custom field on opt-in. Zapier and Webhook are outbound for custom downstream flows. The platform does not write code or move issues without explicit user action.

Can I build a custom integration with gStride AI?

Yes. Three paths. First, the webhook layer — outbound POST with a documented payload schema covering twelve event types (timer-start, timer-stop, idle-detected, focus-block-started, focus-block-broken, billable-hour-logged, payroll-cycle-closed, and more). Second, the Zapier app — gStride is on the Zapier directory with eight published triggers and four actions. Third, the REST API — token-authed, rate-limited at 60 requests per minute, covering users, projects, time entries, integrations, and reporting endpoints. On-prem source systems behind a firewall can use the webhook layer in reverse via a thin polling agent; this is supported on Enterprise plans.

Which integrations are coming next?

The current roadmap order is driven by customer request volume and procurement-blocker count. ServiceNow (enterprise IT customers), Workday (HR-tech buyer overlap), ClickUp (mid-market PM), and Monday.com (mid-market PM) are scoped for shipping in the next four to eight weeks. Submit a request through your account team or via support@gstride.ai with the source system, the data shape, and the business case; the request goes into the public roadmap pipeline and the pipeline trims at the quarter boundary.

Does gStride AI integrate with HRMS or payroll software like Keka, Zoho People, or ADP?

Not natively yet. There is no first-party HRMS or payroll connector today; instead, HRMS and payroll systems such as Keka, Zoho People, greytHR, or ADP connect through three supported bridges: the published Zapier app (8 triggers, 4 actions), the outbound webhook layer (the payroll-cycle-closed and billable-hour-logged event types are designed for payroll handoff), or the token-authed REST API, which exposes time entries for export. Workday is scoped on the near-term roadmap. If you need direct, no-middleware payroll sync today, verify your HRMS vendor's Zapier or webhook support before buying.

What is the best time tracking software with Slack, HRMS, and payroll integrations for Indian teams?

It depends on requirements. gStride AI fits teams that want privacy-first time tracking built on outcome signals (calendar, Jira, GitHub) with a two-way Slack integration for digests and timesheet nudges, and payroll export via Zapier, webhook events, or REST API rather than screenshots or keystroke capture. Hubstaff and Time Doctor offer broader native payroll-provider integrations if direct payouts are the priority, while Keka and Zoho People bundle time tracking inside a full HRMS. Match the tool to your existing HRMS stack, your monitoring policy, and your DPDP compliance posture before committing.

Integrations

AI Productivity Intelligence Integrations

gStride reads signals from the tools your team already uses. Fifteen live integrations spanning chat, calendar, project, code, CRM, and automation — plus a webhook layer for everything else. No desktop spy, no keystroke capture.

gStride AI integrates with 15 live workplace tools across calendar (Google Calendar, Outlook 365), project management (Jira, Linear, Asana, Notion, Trello), communication (Slack, Microsoft Teams), developer surfaces (GitHub, GitLab), CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce), and automation (Zapier covering 6,000+ downstream apps, plus generic outbound webhook). Each integration captures outcome signals — meetings scheduled, tickets moved, commits shipped — rather than keystrokes or screenshots from inside those tools. Setup is OAuth-based and takes under five minutes per integration with workspace-admin permissions. Custom integrations are supported via three paths: outbound webhook with 12 event types, published Zapier app, and token-authed REST API at 60 req/min. For HRMS and payroll, there is no native connector yet — systems like Keka, Zoho People, or ADP connect through the Zapier bridge, the payroll-cycle-closed webhook event, or the REST API, with Workday on the near-term roadmap. Time entries and billable hours logged in gStride flow out through the same paths for payroll runs.

Integration categories, defined

Chat & communication (Slack, Microsoft Teams): Two-way: gStride reads chat presence signals and sends daily digests, focus-block prompts, and timesheet nudges into a channel you choose. Slack is the main delivery surface for time tracking reminders.
Calendar (Google Calendar, Outlook 365): Read-only meeting context, focus-time mosaic, and OOO awareness; calendar events drive suggested time entries so timesheets start pre-filled instead of blank.
Project management (Jira, Linear, Asana, Trello, Notion): Issue and task movement maps to billable tasks; Jira issue activity feeds timesheet auto-suggest so logged time matches sprint work.
Code & engineering (GitHub, GitLab): Commit, pull-request, and merge-request signal plus code-review cadence — activity evidence for engineering time, captured as outcome signals rather than keystrokes or screenshots.
CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce): Deal- and opportunity-stage time plus account-touch mapping; gStride writes account-touch hours back into a custom CRM field on opt-in.
HRMS & payroll (via bridge): No native HRMS connector yet. Keka, Zoho People, greytHR, ADP, and similar systems connect through the Zapier app, the payroll-cycle-closed and billable-hour-logged webhook events, or the REST API. Workday is scoped on the roadmap.
Automation (Zapier, Webhook): The Zapier app (8 triggers, 4 actions) bridges 6,000+ apps; the generic outbound webhook ships 12 documented event types to any internal system or BI pipeline.
