- Check DeskTime API responsiveness on a schedule.
- Know whether the service is reachable before a report routine.
- Reduce surprise interruptions to campaign reviews.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AimTell and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis the outcome you want, in a channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, say to ping the DeskTime API and report whether it responds before campaign reporting.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and confirm the availability result is reported.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping confirm campaign time data is complete?
No. The ping checks API availability and responsiveness; it does not validate the completeness of tracking data.
Can I run this before each campaign report?
Set the recurring Notis schedule to match the reporting routine you want to check.
