Start tracking the right DeskTime task from a request
Send a focused start request and have Notis begin timing the specified DeskTime project and optional task.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Start Project Task
Start tracking time on a project or task, stopping any previous tracking.
Why this helps
Remembering to start a timer after switching into a new piece of work is easy to miss.
- Reduce the steps between a work request and starting the timer.
- Include an optional task when the request specifies one.
- Use an explicit request to start tracking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ai ml api and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to start tracking the project and optional task specified in the incoming request, and to report missing identifiers instead of guessing.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real request containing a valid project and, if needed, task.
