Start tracking when partner work starts
Begin a focused work session with one request, so the time you spend supporting partner programs has a clear project context.
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
Starting a timer can be easy to forget when you are switching into partner work from another task.
- Start a specified DeskTime project task from an HTTP request.
- Optionally identify a task when beginning the session.
- Make time tracking part of the moment work begins.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adtraction and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe how a partner work start request should be handled.
- 3Ask Notis to start tracking the specified DeskTime project and optional task supplied in the request.
- 4Choose notis_webhook and select the report channel.
- 5Test by sending one real start request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow choose a project automatically?
The request or instruction must provide the project and optional task context. No project-selection screen or Adtraction trigger is part of this workflow.
Can it start a task without a task name?
Yes. The DeskTime action supports a specified project with an optional task.
