Approved hours become Holded invoices

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

How it works

From your workday to Holded, without retyping.

You connect with an API key from Holded (Ajustes › API). Half5 then imports your customers and projects from Holded. Holded tells Half5 when something changes there.

1
Connect Holded

Paste your API key and your customers and projects 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 Holded as a draft.

What moves across

What the Holded 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 Holded.

Customers in sync
Customers sync both ways with Holded. A customer you add in Half5 appears there, and one from Holded can be booked on in Half5.
Projects
Projects sync both ways with Holded, so your team books hours on the same projects you use there.
VAT
Invoice lines carry a VAT rate that Holded accepts. Reverse-charge invoices are supported.
Sending
Send the invoice by email through Holded, or mark it as sent yourself.
Changes reach the draft
As long as the invoice is still a draft in Holded, 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.
