Start tracking as soon as the next job step is ready
Turn a clear job work request into an immediate start to the tracked task.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Start Project Task
Start tracking time on a project or task, stopping any previous tracking.
Why this helps
A ready-to-do task can sit outside the timer when starting tracking takes a separate reminder.
- Begin time tracking at the point a job task is ready.
- Start timing a specific project and optional task.
- Reduce the chance of forgetting the timer during a handoff.
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.
- 3Tell Notis which work requests should start tracking and how the project and optional task are identified.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the specified task starts.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook have to identify a DeskTime project?
Yes. The action starts tracking for a specified project and optional task, so the request or instruction must identify the target.
Can the workflow infer an AccuLynx task from the source app?
No AccuLynx trigger events or action payload are provided here. Provide the relevant project and task context through the request or instruction.
Can this run on a timer schedule?
This version uses a webhook because the goal is to start tracking when a work request arrives. A recurring schedule is available for scheduled checks.
