Check DeskTime before you plan your next SEO work session
Use one scheduled check-in to review the search work ahead and confirm DeskTime is responding before you start tracking time.
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 disconnected time tracking API can go unnoticed until after the work session that needed to be recorded.
- Check DeskTime API reachability before a planned SEO session.
- Pair service availability with a short Ahrefs status review.
- Surface an operational issue in the chosen Notis report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review the requested Ahrefs SEO information, ping the DeskTime API, and report the results clearly.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and check both the SEO summary and DeskTime ping result.
Questions about this workflow
Does the DeskTime ping start the workflow?
No. The workflow starts on a Notis schedule and runs the ping as its DeskTime action.
Does a successful ping mean time tracking is configured correctly?
The ping checks API availability and responsiveness. It does not establish that every account setting or tracking behavior is correct.
Can the Ahrefs summary include information not returned by Ahrefs?
Notis can only summarize returned information. Add any business context or historical baseline you need to your instruction.
