Give preview environments the storage they need
When a deployment request signals that a creative preview needs persistent storage, Notis can provision a named DigitalOcean volume.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create New Block Storage Volume
Creates a new block storage volume.
Why this helps
Preview environments that need durable files can wait on a manual storage request and provisioning handoff.
- Turn a storage request into a clear provisioning workflow.
- Keep volume name, size, filesystem, and region together in the request.
- Check region support before creating a volume.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abyssale and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe that a storage-needed webhook should provision a volume only when it includes an approved name, size, filesystem, and region.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the target region supports volumes.
Questions about this workflow
What must the webhook provide?
It should include the approved volume name, size, filesystem, and region. The target region must support block storage.
Will the volume be attached to a droplet automatically?
The listed action creates a volume. It does not attach it to a droplet, so handle attachment separately.
