Start a DeskTime timer when AccuLynx job work begins
Move from job handoff to a running timer with one clear work-start request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Start Project Task

Why this helps
Remembering to start tracking after opening a job can leave work time unrecorded.
- Reduce missed timer starts when beginning job work.
- Make the transition from job coordination to focused execution smoother.
- Start tracking against a specified project and optional task.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuLynx and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want, in the portal or from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, explain which work-start requests should start a DeskTime project task timer.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real work-start request and verify the timer started for the intended project and task.
Questions about this workflow
Does AccuLynx automatically send a trigger?
AccuLynx has no listed trigger events. An external system must send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook to start this workflow.
Can it choose a project and task based on the request?
Notis can interpret the request, but the DeskTime action needs a specified project and optional task. Ensure the request or your instruction identifies them.
Does this action stop the timer later?
No. This action starts tracking. Use a separate workflow with the DeskTime Stop Project Task action when work is finished.
