- Review droplet inventory without opening another console.
- Put a recurring infrastructure summary in a familiar channel.
- Reduce manual status checks.

Questions about this workflow
What starts the inventory run?
A recurring Notis schedule starts it. Ably has no native trigger event in this package.
Can it include details that the list action does not return?
No. The summary should use returned droplet data and call out any information that is not available.
