Trigger
Project Update Posted

Action
Stop Project Task
Tool to stop tracking time for a specified project and optional task. use when you have finished work and need to record end time.
Why this helps
Project wrap-up can involve many final notes, leaving a timer easy to overlook among closeout tasks.
- Adds a time tracking closeout step to an existing project update.
- Reduces the chance of a timer running past project work.
- Helps make project wrap-up more repeatable.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and DeskTime to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by asking Notis.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to stop the relevant DeskTime task when a Linear project update announces completion or wrap-up.
- 4Select the Linear project update posted trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Post a test wrap-up update on a real project and verify the timer stops.
Questions about this workflow
Will any project update stop the timer?
Specify the completion or wrap-up meaning in the instruction so routine progress updates are not treated as the end.
Can this stop multiple timers?
The action is to stop a specified project task. Keep the instruction focused on the relevant task and test its matching behavior.
