Trigger
Webhook received

- Reduce forgotten running timers.
- Use a specified DeskTime project and optional task.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to stop the specified DeskTime project task when the webhook reports your end signal.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Send one real example webhook and confirm the intended task stops.
