Turn a verified server request into a Droplet
Send Notis a provisioning request. Abstract checks the requester’s email, and DigitalOcean gets a Droplet created from the region, size, and image details you supplied.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create New Droplet
Creates a new Droplet virtual machine.
Why this helps
Server requests arrive in chat or forms, and the founder has to verify the requester before switching to DigitalOcean to provision a machine.
- Check requester email before provisioning
- Keep the request and provisioning action in one workflow
- Reduce manual handoffs between request intake and DigitalOcean
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to validate the email with Abstract and create a Droplet using the region, size, image, and name supplied in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request that includes the required Droplet details.
