We are excited to announce that Harvest now works with Outright, an online bookkeeping and accounting tool. Outright.com is a leading provider of online financial management for the self-employed. Created by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs, Outright’s goal is to keep financial recordkeeping and management as simple as possible.
When it comes to bookkeeping, convenience is key to keeping your records up-to-date. With Outright and Harvest working together, you can now seamlessly pull your invoices from Harvest into Outright. Best of all, once you are set up, everything is automated so your Harvest invoices will automagically appear in Outright, updated on a daily basis.
With invoices recorded in your Outright account, you can take full advantage of Outright features, including reports on income, taxes, and profit & loss.
Outright users can enable the integration right away by clicking on the Harvest icon in the “Add an Account” page. If you’re a Harvest user without an Outright account, you can take advantage of this new integration by signing up for free.
We’re excited to add Outright to our list of partners in the cloud and we look forward to continuing helping small businesses by working together with others.
Back in June we launched Harvest for Google Apps. One of the most interesting things about this integration is our contextual gadget for Gmail. Contextual gadgets provide a powerful way for applications to display relevant functionality to an email recipient based on the subject or content of the email.
In our case, a timesheet reminder email triggers a timesheet to be displayed right below the email. Recipients can then quickly enter and submit their timesheet without leaving Gmail.
Today we’re delighted to mention that Google is featuring this integration on their Enterprise Blog as part of their effort in spreading awareness about the powers of contextual gadgets. Check out the post to learn more about this and other contextual gadget integrations. Google is also hosting a webinar on these types of integrations on Wednesday, September 8th.
In case you missed it, here’s a quick recap on how Harvest works with Google Apps:
1) Enter and submit your timesheets directly in Gmail
2) Export timesheet reports from Harvest into Google Docs
3) Sign in to your Harvest account automatically with Google Apps
It’s been a successful launch and we look forward to working with Google to make it even better in the future!

The installation process is much the same as what we outlined previously for new customers, and you can watch the video to get an idea of what the the signup process, and the overall integration, will look like.
To enable your Google Apps integration, go to the Harvest Google Marketplace Page, and click Add it now. Enter your Google domain information, and you will be led through the integration setup process from there.
A few things to note:
Once you sign up, anyone who is on your Google Apps domain and has a Harvest user account will automatically have the Google Apps integration enabled.
During the setup process, you’ll be prompted to import new users from Google to Harvest, which will allow you to create new Harvest users from your Google users.
We’re thrilled to expand our Harvest Google Apps integration, and as always, don’t hesitate to share your feedback and suggestions with us.
For you developers out there, Harvest user Zach Moazeni has released a Harvested, which is a new Ruby API wrapper.
We’re delighted to see the creative and imaginative ways our customers are making Harvest work for them, please let us know if you have created a Harvest integration you’d like to share!
