Step 3: Create the Alert
Go to Alerts, pick the project, and set a threshold such as 80%.

Consejos y atajos de Toggl Pro
After two years of daily use, these are the shortcuts I reach for most.
Good Toggl Track organization is what makes these reports helpful months later.
Atajos de teclado
| Acción | Atajo |
|---|---|
| Start or stop the timer | Ctrl + Shift + S |
| Continue your last entry | Ctrl + Shift + C |
| Add a manual entry | Ctrl + Mayús + N |
| Open the mini timer window | Ctrl + Shift + T |
Here is the setup I use on my own machine:
Características ocultas que la mayoría de la gente pasa por alto
- Pomodoro mode: Turn it on in desktop preferences to break long work into timed focus blocks.
- User groups: Create tags and user groups together so you can filter reports by department in one click.
- Favourite entries: Star the tasks you repeat weekly and start them again with one click.
Errores comunes que debes evitar en Toggl
Mistake #1: Tracking Everything Under One Project
❌ Incorrecto: Logging all work against a project called Admin, which tells you nothing later.
✅ Derecha: Create a new project per client and use tasks for the work inside it.
Mistake #2: Skipping the Description Field
❌ Incorrecto: Leaving entries blank and trying to remember them at invoice time.
✅ Derecha: Type what you are doing before you hit play, even if it is four words.
Mistake #3: Setting Billable Rates Too Late
❌ Incorrecto: Adding rates after a month of tracking, then wondering why amounts read zero.
✅ Derecha: Set default billing rates when you create the project, before anyone tracks time.
Solución de problemas de Toggl
Problem: The Timer Kept Running Overnight
Causa: Idle detection was switched off in the desktop app.
Arreglar: Open the running entry, edit the end time, then enable idle detection in Preferences.
Problem: A Team Member Cannot See a Project
Causa: The project is set to private, or their access rights are limited.
Arreglar: Open the project, switch it to public, or add that person to the project team.
Problem: Reports Show Zero Billable Amount
Causa: Entries were never marked billable, so there is no rate to apply.
Arreglar: Bulk-select the entries in the Detailed report and toggle billable on.
📌 Nota: If none of these fix your issue, contact Toggl support.
