Trigger

Why this helps
Timers left running after a task ends can make work records harder to trust.

- Use Abstract to process completion text when useful.
- Make it easier to close out sessions promptly.

- 1Connect Abstract and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to process the completion request and stop tracking its specified DeskTime project and optional task.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real completion request for a project currently being tracked.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook stop every running timer?
The action stops tracking for the specified project and optional task. Include enough information in the request and instruction to identify that work.
Is Abstract required to stop tracking?
No. Abstract can process supplied text, but the DeskTime stop action handles the tracking change.
