Close a tracked work block on time
Set a recurring boundary and let Notis stop the named Desktime project task, making it easier to leave a work block cleanly.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Stop Project Task

Why this helps
A timer left running past a work block can make later time reviews confusing.
- Close a tracking session at a planned boundary.
- Reduce the need to remember a timer while switching contexts.
- Use a run report to see whether the automation completed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis to AnyDB and Desktime once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what it should do.
- 3In one instruction, specify the Desktime project task to stop at the chosen boundary.
- 4Choose a recurring Notis schedule and where run reports go.
- 5Test against one real tracked task and review the result.
