Tempo’s Activity Feed draws its information from a wide range of providers to create its activity cards, including Google Calendar, Office 365 Calendar, Jira, Visual Studio Code (VS Code), JetBrains, Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitHubGitLab. From your Activity settings and Filter, you can enable/disable the connection to these providers, choose which providers' activities you want to see in My Work, and set if you want to display or hide incomplete and rejected activities.

Installed Many installed plugins and platforms such as VS Code, JetBrains, or GitHub require authorization in their respective apps. However, signing in authorization is not required for these providers: Jira, Planner, JetBrains, VS Code, and GitHubthe Jira or Capacity Planner integrations. Since you don't need to sign in for those providers, the status remains active and Activity feeds are simply populated once data is received from those plugins. For example, when a team member works on a coding task in VS Code, the activity feed automatically displays the time spent on these tasks.

...

In your Activity settings, you can connect to a provider to populate your Activity Feed. The currently supported providers are Google Calendar, Office 365 Calendar, VS Code Extension for Tempo Timesheets, JetBrains Extension for Tempo Timesheets, and GitHub Suggestions for Tempo Timesheets. Since Tempo Timesheets and Tempo Capacity Planner are embedded in Jira, you don’t have to explicitly connect to it; however, you can turn off the display of activity cards coming from Jira using the Filter (see Filtering Your Activity Providers).

Info

The INACTIVE label appears only next to calendar service providers (Google and Office 365 calendars) because those are connections that Tempo can readily establish. Plugins (VS Code, JetBrains, and GitHub) do not have this label because Tempo can’t tell if a user is actively connected or not.
