Know when the Desktime API responds
A simple scheduled ping gives you a regular signal about Desktime API availability in your Notis report channel.
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
Discovering an API connectivity issue only when another workflow fails can delay troubleshooting.
- Check API reachability on a recurring schedule.
- Surface availability results in a report channel you already use.
- Catch connectivity issues before relying on a later lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Desktime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe how you want availability results reported.
- 3Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Desktime API ping.
Questions about this workflow
Does a successful ping verify all Desktime actions?
No. It checks whether the API is available and responsive, not whether every action or credential-dependent request will succeed.
Can I run this only when another automation fails?
This workflow uses a recurring schedule. The source app has no trigger events available here.
