Start DeskTime tracking from a Typeform request
A new request arrives in Typeform, and DeskTime starts the right project task while the context is fresh.
Trigger
New Form Response
Triggers when a respondent completes and submits the form.
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
Founders lose momentum when a submitted request sits idle while someone creates a project and starts a timer manually.
- Begin tracking immediately after intake
- Reduce context switching
- Keep submitted request context available to the team
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Typeform and DeskTime in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Typeform to DeskTime project start.
- 3Tell Notis to review each new response and start the appropriate existing DeskTime project task, asking for clarification when the project is not identifiable.
- 4Pick the Typeform New Form Response trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, test with one real submission, and confirm the timer started.
