Check DeskTime availability before a reporting request
Confirm DeskTime is reachable when an agency reporting request is ready to run.
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
A reporting workflow can waste time when the target service is unavailable and no one knows before starting.
- Check DeskTime API availability at request time.
- Surface service readiness in the run report.
- Avoid beginning dependent reporting work without a reachability check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agencyzoom and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to ping DeskTime and report the availability result alongside the submitted reporting context.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real reporting request and check the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping retrieve Agencyzoom data?
No. The ping checks whether the DeskTime API is available and responsive. Agencyzoom context must be included in the webhook request or retrieved separately.
What starts this check?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts the automation.
