End a DeskTime work block from WhatsApp

Finish a work block in chat and let Notis send the stop request to DeskTime.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Stop Project Task

Tool to stop tracking time for a specified project and optional task. use when you have finished work and need to record end time.

Why this helps

Timers keep running after you leave a task because stopping them means another app switch you may forget.

  • Close out a work block from the chat workflow you already use.
  • Reduce forgotten running timers.
  • Keep project time records closer to when work ends.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 2chat and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Notis and describe how a work-finished request should stop the relevant DeskTime project task.
  • 3Choose a Notis webhook as the trigger and have your 2chat workflow send the request to it.
  • 4Choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real work-finished request and check that DeskTime stopped tracking.

Questions about this workflow

How does the automation start?
