Start DeskTime focus tasks from secure work requests
Move from access-approved work to a timed task without another tab or manual timer.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Start Project Task
Tool to start tracking time for a specified project and optional task. use when you need to begin timing work on a project and optionally tag a task.
Why this helps
Important work begins after a secure request, but the timer is easy to forget.
- Captures time at the moment work starts
- Reduces task-switching friction
Setup

- 1Connect Jumpcloud and DeskTime to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations.
- 3Write an instruction to start the named DeskTime task for each secure work request.
- 4Pick Incoming webhook, choose a report channel, and test one request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the request name the task?
Yes. Describe that in the plain-language instruction so Notis uses the request context.
