Spot client work that may need a DeskTime project
A short scheduled review can connect processed work documents with your active project list and leave you with a focused follow-up queue.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Projects List
View all active company projects and their tasks.
Why this helps
Founders can miss the moment to start tracking work when a document is processed but nobody checks whether a project exists.
- Bring active DeskTime projects into a recurring operational review.
- Surface possible tracking gaps for human follow-up.
- Avoid creating projects when the documents do not support that decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for project readiness review.
- 3Tell Notis to review available Affinda-processed work context alongside the active DeskTime project list, summarize likely missing or unclear tracking projects, and never invent client or project details.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and check that the report distinguishes evidence from unknowns.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically create missing projects?
No. This workflow reviews the active project list and reports possible gaps. Creating one requires a separate instruction and the project-creation action.
Can it know whether a document is approved?
Only if the available Affinda-processed context includes that information. Otherwise, Notis should label approval as unknown and ask for follow-up.
