Use with Flic Mobile App

You have to deploy flictoggl as an HTTP service in order to use it with the Flic mobile app.

Step 1: Deploy to Heroku

You can deploy flictoggl everywhere you want. This guide shows how you can do this using Heroku though.

git clone https://github.com/swissmanu/flictoggl.git
cd flictoggl
heroku create
git push heroku master

Make sure you note down the URL of the deployed Heroku app for later use in step 3.

Step 2: Configure Flic App

• Open the Flic app on your phone
• Add an HTTP Request action
• Enter the URL of the deployed Heroku app from step 1
• Select POST as request type
• Paste the API token from step 2 to the Body field

Step 3: Test drive!

• Press your Flic button once for start recording time
• Press the button again to stop recording
• Check the Toggl web timer

Use with hax-with-flic

hax-with-flic runs executable scripts on your Mac upon pressing a connected Flic button. To attach flictoggl to hax-with-flic, install flictoggl as command line utility:

npm install -g flictoggl

You have to create a wrapper script around flictoggl to run it with hax-with-flic-osx. Example:

#!/bin/sh 
 
# hax-with-flic is on a very early stage currently. 
# Make sure the PATH env var contains the path to your NodeJS installation. 
# flictoggl will not work otherwise. 
export PATH=/path/to/node/js:$PATH
RESULT=`flictoggl [TogglAPIToken]`
 
# Uncomment for Goodie: Show Started/Stopped via OS X notification center: 
# osascript -e "display notification \"$RESULT\" with title \"Toggl\"" 

Hook the script to hax-with-flic:
