When you connect these services, Manor automatically creates beats based on your activity in those applications. Beats are suggestions that help you quickly log billable time for the work you've done. Integrations help you: - Create beats from email replies and Outlook activity - Capture calendar events and meetings as beats - Sync your court events to Manor events and calendar - Turn activity across your favorite tools into billable time with minimal effort **Note:** Your administrator must enable each integration type before you can connect it. If no integration type is enabled at all, the Integrations page is not shown to you. If a particular integration is missing, ask your administrator to enable it in the Administration > Integrations section. ## Accessing Integrations 1. Click your name in the **top right corner** of Manor 2. Select **Integrations** from the profile menu 3. You'll see a list of the integrations available to you. Each card shows a short description, a **See how it works** link and a **Connect** button. ![Profile integrations page showing available services](../screenshots/profile-integrations-page.png) ## Available Integrations ### Court Events Integration **Connect your court events and have them synced to Manor events and calendar.** The Court events integration syncs your court events to your Manor events and calendar.

On the Integrations page, locate **Court events integration** 2. Click the **Connect** button 3.

Click **Save** ![Court events integration dialog with a required Name field and a Save button](../screenshots/profile-integrations-court-events-modal.png) After you connect it, the card shows an **Active** status and an **Edit** button instead of the **Connect** button. ### Microsoft Office 365 (Outlook) **Connect your Office 365 account and turn your Outlook activity to beats.** The Office 365 integration connects your Outlook email and calendar to Manor. When enabled, Manor creates beats based on: - Email replies you send (especially to clients or projects) - Calendar events and meetings you attend - Time you spend in email and calendar applications **To connect Outlook:** 1. On the Integrations page, locate **Microsoft Office 365** 2. Click the **Connect** button 3. In the dialog, review the note and click **Connect**. The dialog says: *Connect your Outlook calendar to synchronize with the Manor calendar.* 4. Sign in with your Office 365 credentials and grant Manor the requested access 5. Outlook activity will start generating beats in Manor ![Microsoft Office 365 connect modal in Profile Integrations](../screenshots/profile-integrations-outlook-modal.png) **Important:** The Outlook connection works in two directions. Manor reads your Outlook activity — such as calendar events and email details — to create beats, and it also writes the events you create in Manor to a calendar in your Outlook account, so they appear in Outlook alongside your other appointments. Manor does not send or modify your emails: it only reads message details such as date, subject, and recipient, and it never sends email on your behalf. Only you can see the events that are synced through your own connection. ### Google Integration **Connect your Google account to Manor and get beats based on your activity in Gmail and Calendar.** The Google integration connects your Google account (Gmail and Google Calendar) to Manor. When enabled, Manor creates beats based on: - Gmail emails you send and receive - Google Calendar events you attend - Meetings and appointments in your Google Calendar **To connect Google:** 1. On the Integrations page, locate **Google** 2. Click the **Connect** button 3. In the dialog, review the note and click **Connect**. The dialog says: *Connect your Google account to Manor and get beats based on your activity in Gmail and Calendar.* 4. Sign in with your Google credentials and grant Manor the requested access 5. Google activity will start generating beats in Manor ![Google connect modal in Profile Integrations](../screenshots/profile-integrations-google-modal.png) **Important:** The Google connection works in two directions. Manor reads your Google activity — such as Calendar events and Gmail message details — to create beats, and it also writes the events you create in Manor to a calendar in your Google account, so they appear in Google Calendar. Manor does not send or modify your emails: it only reads message details such as date, subject, and recipient. Only you can see the events that are synced through your own connection. ## Understanding Beats Beats are automatic suggestions created from your activity in connected services. After connecting an integration, Manor monitors that service and creates beats for relevant actions: - **From Outlook:** Email replies, meeting attendance, calendar event time - **From Google:** Email activity, calendar events, meeting time - **From Court events:** Court appearance dates and times You review beats in the **Day** view of the **Time** section. When you see a beat that represents billable work: 1. Click the beat to open it 2. Assign it to a client or project 3. Verify the time and details 4. Convert it to billable time (by creating a time entry, task, or other billable item) See [Beats](../organizing-work/beats.md) for the full guide. ## Managing Connected Integrations ### View Connected Integrations Once connected, an integration shows: - Service name and icon - An **Active** status label - An **Edit** button that opens the integration's dialog ### Disconnect an Integration To stop syncing data from a service: 1. Navigate to **Integrations** in your profile 2. Find the connected service 3. Click **Edit** to open the integration's dialog 4. Click **Disconnect** After disconnecting: - No new beats will be created from that service - Existing beats remain in Manor but won't be updated - Your data in the external service is not affected ### Reconnect to an Integration If you've disconnected and want to reconnect: 1. Go to **Integrations** in your profile 2. Click **Connect** on the service again 3. Complete the authorization process 4. New beats will resume being created ## Best Practices ### Set Reasonable Expectations - Integrations take time to sync (usually within minutes to an hour) - Not all activity generates beats — Manor filters for billable-relevant activity - You'll still need to review and assign beats to projects before billing ### Manage Beat Overload If you're receiving too many beats: - Only connect services where you actually perform billable work - Review beats regularly and delete ones you won't use - Consider disconnecting integrations that aren't providing value ### Keep Integrations Current - **Keep credentials updated** — If you change your password, you may need to reconnect - **Check permissions** — Ensure Manor still has access if your account permissions change - **Monitor sync status** — If beats stop appearing, reconnect the service ### Protect Your Privacy - Integrations are personal — only you can connect/disconnect your accounts - Your external data is accessed securely and never shared - You can disconnect anytime to stop sharing data with Manor ### Review Beats Before Billing - **Verify accuracy** — Always review beat details before converting to billable time - **Assign correctly** — Make sure beats are assigned to the right client/project - **Remove duplicates** — Check for duplicate beats from multiple integrations - **Delete irrelevant beats** — Remove beats that don't represent billable work ## Troubleshooting ### I Don't See an Integration Option If an integration isn't appearing: - Your administrator may not have enabled it yet - Ask your administrator to check **Administration > Integrations** - Some integrations may be restricted based on your user role ### Beats Aren't Being Created If you're not seeing beats after connecting: - **Wait for sync** — It can take 5-60 minutes for initial sync - **Check eligibility** — Manor only creates beats for billable-relevant activity - **Verify connection** — Disconnect and reconnect the service - **Check permissions** — Ensure Manor still has access to your external account ### I Can't Connect to a Service If you're having trouble connecting: 1. Make sure you're using the correct login credentials 2. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the service 3. Check that two-factor authentication isn't blocking the connection 4. Clear your browser cache and try again 5. Contact your Manor administrator if the problem persists ### Beat Appears Twice (Duplicate) If you've connected multiple services and the same activity appears twice: - This is normal if the same activity appears in multiple services (e.g., email and calendar event) - Review both beats and delete the one that's less relevant - Consider which integrations provide the most useful beats for your workflow ### Integration Disconnected Unexpectedly Integrations may automatically disconnect if: - Your external account password was changed - Permissions to Manor were revoked - The external service experienced issues Simply reconnect the integration through the Integrations page. ### I'm Connected But Can't See Recent Activity If recent activity isn't appearing in beats: - Wait 30-60 minutes for sync to complete - Check that the activity occurred in the connected service - Ensure the activity matches the types that generate beats - Try disconnecting and reconnecting the service ## Related documentation - **[My Presets](../administration/my-presets.md)** — Create quick templates for common billable items - **[Beats](../organizing-work/beats.md)** — Understand how beats fit into your workflow - **[Calendar Sync](../organizing-work/calendar-sync.md)** — How calendar integrations create beats - **[Syncing Manor events to Outlook or Gmail](../organizing-work/syncing-manor-events-to-outlook-or-gmail.md)** — Get the events you create in Manor into your external calendar - **[Administration > Integrations](../administration/integrations.md)** — System-wide integration settings (for administrators)
