Check DeskTime is reachable before your scheduled work review
Add a simple availability check to a recurring research routine, so you know whether DeskTime responded when the run happened.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Ping DeskTime API
Check whether the service is available.
Why this helps
A scheduled review can be confusing when a connected service is unreachable and no one notices the check failed.
- Check whether the DeskTime API is reachable and responsive.
- Include the result in a scheduled run report.
- Make service status visible during recurring reviews.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to ping DeskTime and include the check result with the Agenty research context for that run.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real scheduled check.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping confirm the account API key is valid?
The action checks API availability and responsiveness. It is not described as a credential validation action.
Does the ping start or stop time tracking?
No. Ping DeskTime API checks service availability and does not change project tracking.
