Why this helps
A DeskTime connection issue can go unnoticed until someone needs a report or timer action.
- Check whether the DeskTime API is reachable and responsive.
- Surface the result in a recurring run report.
- Notice availability problems during routine operations checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction that Notis should ping the DeskTime API and report whether it responds.
- 4Pick the schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real ping and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping confirm every DeskTime action will work?
It confirms API availability and responsiveness; it does not guarantee that every specific action or credential-dependent request will succeed.
Can I run this only when I need it?
Yes. Select the webhook trigger if an HTTP request should start the ping.
