Core Concepts

Time Hive operates on a simple principle: Facts are logged, metrics are derived.

1. Projects: Organize your automation efforts (e.g., "Marketing Automation", "HR Onboarding").
2. Tasks: Define measurable units of work within a project. A task represents a specific action (e.g., "Process Invoice") and carries an assumption about the time it saves in minutes. Each task is assigned a unique Task ID used to link events.
3. Integrations: The source of your automation data (e.g., n8n, Make, Zapier, Custom Scripts). Each integration has a unique ingest_token.
4. Events: The raw data sent by your integrations. Events link to tasks via a task_id to calculate ROI dynamically.
