3. Click on the Configure your Twitter settings link on the right side of the screen.
4. Enter your Twitter username and select a default project, task, and expense category.
5. Save your settings.

Entering time from Twitter

Once you configure your Twitter settings, track send a direct message to Harvest by texting Twitter “*d harvest expense 10 testing twitter expense logger.”* This will create an expense entry for $10.00 with the note “testing twitter expense logger (via Twitter).” You will receive an email “receipt” for your command to confirm that your transaction was captured correctly.

Our Add-Ons page includes a list of commands you can run via Twitter.
