About Teamwork

Teamwork is a comprehensive project management and collaboration platform designed for agencies and client-focused teams. With AI-powered features including the AI Project Wizard for automated project structure generation, AI Smart Scheduler for intelligent task assignment, and AI Profitability Forecaster for financial planning, Teamwork streamlines project delivery from planning to completion. The platform combines task management, time tracking, resource allocation, client communication, and advanced reporting in a unified system, enabling teams to manage multiple projects, track profitability, automate workflows, and deliver exceptional client results with real-time collaboration and multi-currency support.

The Teamwork API enables developers to:

• Authenticate using Basic Authentication with username and password credentials encoded in Base64 format for secure programmatic access.

• Query projects, tasks, task lists, time entries, clients, users, and custom fields with advanced filtering, pagination, and sparse fieldsets for optimized retrieval.

• Create or update project structures, task assignments, time logs, client information, and workflow automations programmatically.

• Manage complex project operations with support for dependencies, milestones, budget tracking, resource allocation, and multi-currency financial management.

• Access three API versions with V3 providing standards-first, consistent input and output formats across Teamwork.com, Teamwork Desk, and Teamwork Spaces products.

Why Integrate Teamwork with Emergent

Connecting Teamwork directly often requires setting up Basic Authentication, accessing the Developer Portal, managing API version compatibility, mapping project and task schemas with custom fields, handling resource allocation logic, synchronizing project data across collaboration and development platforms, and building custom dashboards or client reporting interfaces. Each integration can quickly turn into a substantial development project requiring project management and API expertise.

Emergent removes that complexity:

• Build by prompt: Describe the Teamwork app you want and the project workflows you need. Emergent automatically scaffolds the UI, orchestration, data models, and integrations.

• Schema-aware mapping: Emergent understands Teamwork's data structure including projects, tasks, time entries, clients, resources, custom fields, milestones, and budget data, helping you map project information accurately across collaboration, CRM, and development platforms.

• Secure by design: Features include encrypted key vaults for Basic Authentication credentials, environment isolation, role-based access, and audit-friendly logs, making it suitable for agencies with strict client data confidentiality and project governance requirements.

• Real-time workflows: API integration, retries, backoff, caching, batching, and error handling are built in for reliability and consistency across task updates and time tracking operations.

• Orchestrate multiple tools: Combine Teamwork with Slack, Salesforce, Trello, Jira, and HubSpot to build complete systems such as unified project platforms, automated client-to-project flows, resource utilization dashboards, and cross-functional operations hubs.

How Emergent Works with Teamwork in Real Time?

STEP 1: Describe your app

Example: "Build a project operations hub that syncs Teamwork tasks with Jira issues for development tracking, sends Slack notifications when project milestones are completed, updates Salesforce opportunities with project progress, creates Trello cards for design reviews, and tracks client engagement in HubSpot."

STEP 2: Declare integrations

Say "Teamwork + Jira + Slack + Salesforce + Trello + HubSpot." Emergent sets up providers, authentication, and recommended connection methods including Basic Authentication.

STEP 3: Secure credentials

Provide your Teamwork username and password credentials from the Developer Portal. Keys are stored in an encrypted vault with environment isolation for development, staging, and production.

STEP 4: Select data sources and map properties

Emergent automatically introspects your Teamwork workspace, including projects, tasks, task lists, time entries, clients, users, custom fields, milestones, and budget data.

It then guides you to map properties accurately such as Teamwork tasks to development issues, project milestones to CRM stages, time entries to billing records, and client data to marketing contacts.

STEP 5: Real-time and scheduled flows

Configure triggers for task creation, project updates, milestone completion, or time entry logging. Set up scheduled syncs or define on-demand actions such as button clicks in the app.

STEP 6: Test and preview

Run test queries, validate task synchronization and project tracking workflows, check logs, and automatically handle Basic Authentication and rate limits.

STEP 7: Deploy

Deploy your app with one click, complete with versioning, monitoring, error alerts, and usage analytics. You can easily roll back or iterate on prompts.

STEP 8: Expand

Add new steps like AI-powered resource optimization, automated project profitability alerts, or predictive deadline tracking. Connect additional tools and integrate new project templates without any rewrites.
