Give approved backup requests a direct path to persistent block storage.
Trigger

Action
Create New Block Storage Volume
Creates a new block storage volume.
Why this helps
Backup storage requests are easy to overlook when they require manual console work after document approval.
- Start from a completed request delivered to a Notis webhook.
- Ask Notis to check that volume details are present before provisioning.
- Keep the workflow outcome and missing details in a run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a volume from a completed backup request only when its name, region, size, and filesystem are specified.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and send ready requests to it.
- 5Choose where run reports go and test with one real, complete request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this workflow confirm regional volume support?
Include an instruction to check that the target region supports volumes before creating one, and report if it cannot be confirmed.
Does the request need to include the filesystem?
Yes, include the filesystem along with the volume name, region, and size in the request and in your instruction to Notis.
