Review Snapshot Inventory on a Schedule
Keep snapshot inventory close at hand for recurring backup reviews.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List All Snapshots
Tool to list all snapshots available on your digitalocean account. use when you need to fetch and optionally filter snapshots by resource type (droplet or volume) and handle pagination for inventory or backup workflows.
Why this helps
Snapshot reviews can become a scramble when nobody has a current list of available backups.
- Make backup inventory a recurring check.
- Share returned snapshot details in Ably.
- Reduce manual list gathering before reviews.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for snapshot inventory.
- 3Tell Notis to list snapshots and summarize the returned data, using a resource type filter if useful.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and run report channel.
- 5Test the report with one real run.
Questions about this workflow
Can the list be filtered?
The action supports optional filtering by resource type, including droplet or volume snapshots.
Does the inventory confirm that a backup can be restored?
No. It lists available snapshots; restore readiness requires separate validation.
