Introduction

Tiime is a French all-in-one platform for entrepreneurs and their accountants, combining invoicing, expense tracking, and a professional business account with a Mastercard card and IBAN. It handles day-to-day bookkeeping, quotes, and purchases for small businesses and the accounting firms that work with them.

Activate Tiime

Partner keys

You can use Chift’s app, or register your own with Tiime.

Use Chift's app

Reach out to your Chift point of contact. They provide the client_id and client_secret of Chift’s Tiime app and configure them on your Chift platform.

Use your own app

Request a partner OAuth2 app from Tiime at support@tiime.fr, or ask Chift to request one for you.

The steps below apply if you register your own app. If you use Chift’s app, your point of contact handles the setup for you. Skip straight to Test Tiime.

Request a partner app

Tiime’s API is only available on request for software editors. Write to Tiime’s partnerships team at support@tiime.fr to ask for a partner OAuth2 app.

Provide the redirect URI and scopes

Give Tiime the redirect URI:

https://chift.app/oauth2/redirect

Ask for the scopes offline_access, accounting:read and accounting:write.

Approval takes about 2 business days.

Activate Tiime in your Chift account

In Connectors, enter your Client ID and Client Secret.

Tiime setup guide for end users

The full step-by-step, with screenshots.

Before they start, your end users need:

an active Tiime account with at least one accounting folder set up

To connect, they:

sign in with their Tiime account
select the accounting folder to connect

Invoices and journal entries sent through the connection wait in Tiime under Settings → Integration, on the Chift tile. An exclamation mark there means data awaits approval. Ask your end users to approve imported entries in Tiime when it asks for it.

Rate limits

No rate limit documented by Tiime.

Limitations & specificities

Contacts (clients & suppliers)

Creating a client or supplier directly is not supported by Tiime’s API. The only way to create one is by creating an invoice or a journal entry line for that client or supplier.Pass an account_info object instead of an account or partner ID, and Tiime creates the client or supplier first. On invoices, you can also pass a partner_info object.

"account_info": {
    "account_number": "XXX",
    "account_name": "XXX"
}

Chift builds the account number from what you provide:

It keeps only letters and digits.
It upper-cases them.
It prefixes 411 for a client or 401 for a supplier when the number does not already start with the vendor’s own prefix.
It cuts the result to 8 characters if it is all digits, or 12 otherwise.

Invoices

Invoices can only be created in EUR.

Journal entries

Entries in another currency need a currency_exchange_rate. Amounts are converted to EUR.
