Build WakaTime forms with Paperform

WakaTime is a coding activity dashboard that automatically tracks time spent programming via editor and IDE plugins.

Paperform connects to WakaTime directly through Stepper workflows.

Each submission can become a task, card or item in WakaTime, so requests don't sit in an inbox.

How WakaTime connects to Paperform

Direct methods run inside your Paperform account. Zapier and Make are there too if your team already uses them.

Stepper workflows

Direct

Run a Stepper workflow when someone submits your form: 11 WakaTime actions and 3 triggers, included in your Paperform account.

  1. Open Stepper from your Paperform account and create a workflow.
  2. Start it with the Paperform “New Submission” trigger and choose your form.
  3. Add a WakaTime step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

Bring us the workflow that keeps breaking

Start with the one form whose data never quite lands where it should. Connect the rest when you're ready.
