Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Employee Projects and Apps
Tool to retrieve an employee's tracked projects and application usage. use when you need combined project/app time data for a given employee and date (defaults to current user and today). example: "get projects and apps for employee 711867 on 2025-07-28."
Why this helps
Reviewing project time and app usage separately makes it harder to see the work context in one pass.
- Retrieve project and application usage together for a given employee and date.
- Reduce the number of separate data lookups in a review.
- Summarize the returned time data in a report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect DeskTime in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and describe which employee and date to retrieve, and how to summarize project and app usage.
- 3Choose a recurring Notis schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one run and confirm both project and app information are included.
Questions about this workflow
Can I specify the employee and date?

Does the returned information establish a productivity baseline?
