Check DeskTime is ready before the job handoff
Know the time tracking service is reachable before relying on it for the next step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Ping DeskTime API
Check whether the service is available.
Why this helps
A job handoff can stall when the target time tracking service is unavailable and nobody catches it early.
- Check whether DeskTime's API is reachable and responsive.
- Catch availability issues at a deliberate handoff point.
- Give Notis a response it can summarize for the run report.
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.
- 3Ask Notis to ping DeskTime and summarize whether the service is reachable before the job handoff proceeds.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real handoff request and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does the ping validate the account API key?
The ping checks whether the DeskTime API is available and responsive. It is not described as validating an API key.
Does AccuLynx trigger this check automatically?
No AccuLynx trigger event is listed. An external system needs to send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook.
Will the workflow create a DeskTime project if the API responds?
No. This workflow only checks API availability. Project creation is a separate DeskTime action.
