Pyrus — connecting
E-mail and security key — connecting Pyrus
The Pyrus connector shows tasks from your Inbox and lets you comment on them, complete them and reopen them. In Pyrus the role of a project is played by a form: tasks are filtered by form, and a plain task without a form has an empty project.
Time is written as a comment. Pyrus has no separate time tracking: the session duration goes to the task as the
spent_minutescomment parameter — together with the completion note, in a single comment. The full picture of the shift (start, end, route) stays in Taskloc and is visible in the app's reports.
How to connect
- Open Settings → Organizations → your organization → Integrations → "+" (or Settings → Connectors → "+" for a personal connector).
- Choose Pyrus.
- Enter the e-mail of your Pyrus account.
- Enter the security key (
security_key). Employees get it themselves in their Pyrus profile settings (gear icon → Authorization → get the key) — no administrator is needed. - Fill in the user ID only if several Pyrus accounts are registered to your e-mail.
- Tap Connect. You do not need to enter a server address — it comes with the authorization.
The key does not expire with the session: if Pyrus revokes the access token, the app re-authorizes on its own without asking you.

Task status
A Pyrus task has no status field. The app shows two values — "Open" and "Completed" — and changes them with a comment carrying the "complete" / "reopen" action. Approval steps are not treated as a status and do not appear in the "Status" field.
Automatic status change on tracking start and stop is turned off for Pyrus: Pyrus has no intermediate "in progress" state, and stopping GPS would close the task.
Compatibility
- Cloud Pyrus — the server address comes with the authorization, you do not enter it separately.
