Inspect tracked app activity for a focused admin question
Get date-specific tracked app information for one employee and turn it into a clear response to the question behind the admin follow-up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Employee Apps
Retrieves an employee’s tracked app usage for a date, or the current user’s data.
Why this helps
When a follow-up asks about app activity, manually finding the right date and person can pull attention away from higher priority admin work.
- Retrieves tracked apps for a specific employee and date.
- Supports targeted investigation instead of a broad data pull.
- Summarizes results around the question included in the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Anthropic administrator and DeskTime once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve tracked apps for the employee and date in the request, then answer the supplied admin question using the results.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and check that the summary sticks to returned data.
Questions about this workflow
Does this provide app usage for the whole company?
This action is designed for an employee and a specific date. Use a separate company-wide action if the review requires broader data.
Can it decide whether app usage is productive?
It can summarize tracked app results, but any productivity standard or expected baseline must be supplied by you.
