With Hive's new Harvest integration you can:
Keep projects and tasks organized in Hive
Log time and related details in Harvest
Reduce manual copy/paste between project management and time tracking
Setting up the Harvest Integration
Step 1: Connecting Apps
In Hive, go to Apps. Find Harvest and enable the app.
Please note: Only workspace admins can make changes to Apps.
Choose whether or not to connect all projects in your workspace from the prompted window.
Sign into Harvest when prompted, and approve access to connect Harvest with Hive.
Mapping Hive work to Harvest
To keep time tracking consistent, decide what you want to map to Harvest:
Hive Projects → Harvest Projects
Use this if:
You track time at the project level
You bill clients by project, phase, or retainer bucket
Workflow:
Create a project in Hive
Create a matching project in Harvest
Track time in Harvest against the matching project while managing tasks in Hive
or Hive Actions/Tasks → Harvest Tasks (or categories):
Use this if:
Your billing needs require granular time entries
You want time tied to specific deliverables, not just the overall project
Workflow:
Break work into actions in Hive
Log time in Harvest aligned to the task/category structure your team uses
Suggested workflow (team-friendly)
If you want something that’s easy to enforce across the team, start here:
Recommended for client services teams
Use Hive Projects for client accounts or engagements
Use Hive Sections for phases (Discovery, Build, QA, Launch)
Use Hive Actions for deliverables (with clear owners + due dates)
Track time in Harvest using:
Project = client/engagement
Task/category = phase or deliverable type (Meetings, Design, Build, PM)
This keeps Hive clean for execution and Harvest clean for billing.
Once authorized, Hive will be able to communicate with Harvest based on the permissions you granted.
