Check DeskTime availability before acting on a finding
Confirm DeskTime is responding before a research request leads into a time tracking or project action.
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 research workflow can lose momentum when a target service is unavailable at the moment work should begin.
- Check whether the DeskTime API is reachable and responsive.
- Surface availability before attempting a follow-up action.
- Give the run report a clear status for the next step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgentQL and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and set its name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to ping DeskTime when the webhook request asks for a research-driven action and report whether it is responsive before proceeding.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and inspect the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping confirm that every DeskTime action will work?
No. It checks API availability and responsiveness, but it does not guarantee that a later action will succeed.
Can this run on a schedule?
Yes. You can use a Notis cron trigger instead if you want a recurring availability check.
