Notis

Set up reviewed network rules for creative previews

When an approved preview deployment request arrives, Notis can create a DigitalOcean firewall using the rules supplied in the request.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create New Firewall

Creates a cloud firewall with custom traffic rules.

Why this helps

Firewall setup can delay a preview deployment, especially when the intended rules are buried in a handoff.

  • Keep the approved firewall name and rules with the deployment request.
  • Require inbound and outbound rules for the create action.
  • Reduce manual recreation of reviewed network settings.

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 an approved webhook should create a firewall only when it includes a name and at least one inbound and one outbound rule.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one reviewed request and inspect the resulting firewall details.
