Start the timer when a request is ready for work
Turn a clear parsed request into a Desktime tracking start, with the run details reported back in Notis.
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
A task can be ready to start while the person doing it is still switching apps to find the right project and start the timer.
- Cut the steps between receiving a work request and tracking it.
- Use parsed request details to identify the intended project and optional task.
- Keep the action result visible in a Notis run report.
Setup

- 1Connect Airparser and Desktime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe when a parsed request should start tracking.
- 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger for the Airparser parsing request.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that identifies a Desktime project and task.
Questions about this workflow
Can this start tracking if the request does not identify a project?
The instruction should only start tracking when the request identifies a valid project and any required details. Supply your matching rules in the prompt.
Does Airparser send a native Notis event?
No Airparser trigger event is available in this package. Use a Notis webhook started by an HTTP request.
