Stop outdoor tracking when an alert changes the plan
Turn a weather alert into a clear stopping point for work that depends on safe conditions.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Stop Project Task
Stop tracking time on a project or task.
Why this helps
When conditions change quickly, it is easy to keep a timer running after outdoor work has stopped.
- Close the tracking loop when weather interrupts outdoor work.
- Reduce forgotten timers after a change of plan.
- Apply your own alert criteria to the incoming update.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuWeather and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3Describe which incoming alerts should stop tracking and identify the relevant DeskTime project or task.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert update sent to the webhook.
Questions about this workflow
Will this stop every DeskTime timer?
Tell Notis which project or task is affected. The available action stops a specified project task, so the instruction and incoming request should identify the intended work.
Does AccuWeather send the webhook itself?
No AccuWeather trigger event is listed. An external tool or backend needs to send the alert details to Notis.
