Know DeskTime is reachable before review work begins
Start review work with a quick availability check, then send a clear run report to your chosen channel.
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
It is frustrating to begin a review workflow only to discover that the time tracking service is unavailable.
- Check whether DeskTime responds when a review request arrives.
- Give the team a simple readiness signal before they start.
- Keep the check tied to an explicit request rather than an invented Adtraction event.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adtraction and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a Notis automation and state that it should check DeskTime before an Adtraction review.
- 3Ask Notis to ping DeskTime and summarize whether the API is reachable.
- 4Select notis_webhook as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test by sending one real review request to the webhook.
