Move an approved launch request into Desktime
When an approval request arrives through your Notis webhook, turn its supplied details into a Desktime project and a useful first task.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Project with Optional Task
Create a project, optionally with an initial task.
Why this helps
Approved work can sit idle while someone translates the decision into a project and starter task.
- Translate an approval request into a trackable project.
- Capture a concrete first step when the request provides one.
- Reduce handoff delay between approval and execution.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis to AnyDB and Desktime once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe how to create a Desktime project and optional task from an approved request.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select the run report destination.
- 5Test with one real approval request and inspect the new project.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect approval status in AnyDB automatically?
No AnyDB trigger events are listed. The webhook starts the workflow; the request must convey the approval and project details, or the automation must have access to them.
What if the request lacks a first task?
The project can still be created without an optional initial task when the supplied information does not support one.
