Start tracking as soon as campaign work begins
A clear start signal can begin your DeskTime timer without another trip through menus.
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
Switching from a campaign handoff to a separate timer can make it easy to forget when work actually started.
- Begin tracking from a launch or work-start signal.
- Optionally attach the timer to a task.
- Spend less time switching between campaign work and time tracking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveCampaign and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to start the relevant DeskTime project and optional task when a campaign work-start request arrives.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real work-start request and confirm the timer starts as expected.
Questions about this workflow
Does ActiveCampaign provide the trigger for this workflow?
No ActiveCampaign trigger event is listed here. A webhook request starts the automation, so an existing campaign process or custom backend must send it.
Can the timer include a task?
Yes. The DeskTime action can start tracking a specified project and optional task.
