A new request can become a ready-to-track project without copying details between tools.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Project with Optional Task
Create a project, optionally with an initial task.
Why this helps
Project setup often gets postponed while founders verify contact details and retype requests.
- Check a supplied email before setting up a project.
- Turn an incoming request into a project and optional initial task.
- Reduce manual intake and project setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 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 validate the supplied email and create a DeskTime project with an optional initial task from the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test it with one real client request sent to the webhook.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request sent to its Notis webhook starts it.
What if the request has no email address?
Tell Notis in the instruction how to handle requests without an email, since Abstract cannot validate an address that was not supplied.
