Approved hours become Billy invoices

Customers sync with Billy. Approved hours go there as a draft invoice per customer.

How it works

From your workday to Billy, without retyping.

You connect with an API key from Billy (Indstillinger › Adgangstokens › Opret adgangstoken). Half5 then imports your customers from Billy. Half5 checks Billy regularly for changes made there.

1
Connect Billy

Paste your API key and your customers come across.
2
Approve the week

A manager approves or rejects each person's submitted hours. Managers see registered hours only, never anyone's timeline.
3
Invoice

You create the invoice from an hours report. It appears in Billy as a draft.

What moves across

What the Billy integration takes care of.

From an hours report you create draft invoices: one per customer, containing only billable hours that haven't been invoiced yet. If your organisation uses approval, only approved hours qualify. The draft appears in Billy.

Customers in sync
Customers sync both ways with Billy. A customer you add in Half5 appears there, and one from Billy can be booked on in Half5.
VAT
Invoice lines carry a VAT rate that Billy accepts. Reverse-charge invoices are supported.
Sending
Send the invoice by email through Billy, or mark it as sent yourself.
Changes reach the draft
As long as the invoice is still a draft in Billy, changes you make in Half5 are passed on to it.
Hours are never billed twice
Hours on an invoice are locked to it. Delete a draft and you choose whether its hours become billable again.
