Start tracking time when Anthropic work begins
Start the right project timer from a simple request so admin and implementation work does not disappear from the team's time records.
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
Switching to start a timer can break focus, and a missed start leaves work sessions unrecorded.
- Starts time tracking for a specified DeskTime project.
- Supports an optional task for more specific work context.
- Reduces the chance of forgetting to start a work timer.
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 start tracking the specified DeskTime project and optional task when the work session request arrives.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real project and task request before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis select a project automatically from Anthropic data?
Only if the project details are included in the request or prompt context. No Anthropic trigger or project mapping is provided here.
Does the workflow stop the timer when the session ends?
No. This workflow starts tracking. Set up a separate stop workflow when the session is finished.
