Why this helps
Production issues can pull a founder into frantic, unstructured work with no record of the interruption.
- Starts an incident response timer at the right moment.
- Makes unplanned operational work measurable.
- Provides a consistent handoff point for recovery.
Setup

- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: start a Desktime recovery task when a deployment status is failed or errored.
- 4Select the new deployment status trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Run one test deployment to confirm the response.
Questions about this workflow
Which deployment states should trigger it?
The instruction can specify failed and error statuses so successful deployments do not start a recovery session.
