Let merged work close its own timer
When the PR is done, the tracking session ends without another reminder.
Trigger
Pull Request Event
Triggered when a pull request is opened, closed, or synchronized.
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
Finishing a pull request still leaves a small administrative task that is easy to miss.
- Stops tracking at the natural end of PR work.
- Prevents stale sessions after a merge.
- Keeps project records aligned with delivery.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Desktime to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Describe one instruction to stop the related Desktime task when a pull request closes or merges.
- 4Pick the pull request event trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Close or merge one test pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Does closing a PR count as completion?
You can tell Notis whether to stop on any close or only on a merged close.
What if follow-up work remains?
Use a separate task for post-merge work so the PR timer stays accurate.
