Check DeskTime availability before your reporting routine
Start your reporting routine by checking that DeskTime is reachable, then use the run report to decide whether to continue.
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 reporting routine can stall when you only discover an API availability problem after starting the work.
- Check whether the DeskTime API is reachable and responsive.
- Get an early signal before your reporting routine.
- Reduce wasted time troubleshooting mid workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agiled and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe that the automation should report DeskTime availability for your upcoming reporting routine.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the availability result is understandable.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping guarantee that every DeskTime action will work?
No. It checks API availability and responsiveness, not the success of every later request or the validity of every input.
Can the workflow start a report automatically after the check?
This package uses the Ping DeskTime API action. Any subsequent report action would need its own supported workflow configuration.
