How to Turn Tracked Hours into an Invoice Draft

Create a text invoice draft, check its details, and prepare a client email from saved sessions.

A timer record is a starting point for an invoice, not a substitute for reviewing what a client should be billed. ClockFuel assembles saved sessions into an editable invoice with text and CSV exports. You can review and send it directly; client payments are handled separately.

QUICK TAKEAWAY

Before sending: correct client, correct job, correct dates, reviewed notes, reviewed total, and the actual attachment.

Save the work you want to include

Stop the current session and check the account-save status. A running session is not yet a completed invoice line. Review the relevant work history and any notes. If you are billing a particular project, confirm that its sessions belong to the correct job before opening the invoice builder.

Choose the client, dates, and job

Select a client, open Invoices, and choose Time-based. Review Client & email details and choose a quick range or specific dates. Work for those dates loads automatically. Rebuild from tracked time replaces invoice edits only after confirmation. Itemized invoices are separate drafts for quantities, services, and fees.

Review the draft line by line

Check descriptions, hours, rates, and the total. Use Customize invoice branding for business details, a logo, or signature. The Include session start and stop times checkbox is on by default; uncheck it to keep timestamps out of invoice previews, email, and downloads. Original work history stays intact. Add an Invoice note for payment terms or a client message.

Export and send deliberately

Copy or download the invoice as text, or export its edited rows as CSV. Use Review & send invoice to check the saved preview and addresses, then choose Send to client or Send to my email. Nothing is delivered until you choose a send option. You can also copy the email into your own service. ClockFuel does not collect the client’s payment.
