Blinksale Integration

Blinksale is the easiest way to send invoices online. Now time.onrails.org is the easiest way to create Blinksale invoices.

1. Enable Blinksale

Goto your Account page in Time.onrails.org and you will see the new Blinksales Settings section. Enter your Blinksale id, Blinksale username and password.

If you don't want to use your real Blinksale username and password, you can create in Blinksale a new person for the sole purpose of providing access to the Blinksale api. In this case I created a person like usual named api. Also you don't need to enter the password in the Blinksale settings, if not present you will be prompted with a login screen before accessing the Blinksale Integration screens.

Use SSL works only for Paid Blinksale subscriptions. This is safer and recommended. If you check this box and don't have a Paid subscription you will see and error message 404 on the integration login screen.

2. Enter your time in Time.onrails.org

When entering time in the project section, you will notice that each section now has a new Blinksale Invoice link. When you are done with your week or month, depending on your billing cycle, click the Blinksale Invoice link to open the Blinksale integration window.

3. Blinksale integration

1. The "Clients" field allows you to select for which Blinksale client the invoice is.
2. This are the time lines of your section. You can choose to have one line per day or only one total line on the invoice. Note that fields can be rounded, but the total time is not currently recalculated on this form.
3. and 4. Click Send To Blinksale to create the draft invoice shown in 5. in Blinksale.
