About

Harvest is the time tracking and invoicing tool favored by agencies, consultancies, and project-based businesses. Connecting Harvest to Zentry links time-tracked project costs with expense data, providing a complete view of project profitability that includes both labor and out-of-pocket costs.

Approved Harvest timesheets are converted into labor cost entries in Zentry using configurable hourly billing rates, attributing costs to the same projects and clients that expenses are tracked against.

Project budget reports in Zentry combine Harvest labor costs with direct expenses (travel, software, contractor invoices), giving project managers and account leads a real-time view of total project burn versus budget.

Requirements

A Harvest account on the Pro plan (required for API access and project budget features). Generate a personal access token or OAuth app credentials from Harvest Developer Tools.

Projects in Harvest and Zentry should share consistent naming or be linked via the mapping table during setup, so that costs are attributed to the correct projects in both systems.

Getting Started

In Zentry Settings → Integrations → Harvest, enter your Harvest Account ID and personal access token. Validate the connection and browse the available projects.

Map Harvest projects to Zentry projects (or create new ones), set hourly rates for labor cost calculation, and run an initial timesheet import. Verify project cost totals against Harvest's own budget reports to confirm accuracy.
