Notis

Provision a DigitalOcean VPC from a Completed Request

Turn a finalized private network request into a VPC without a separate round of console entry.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Create New VPC

Creates a private network in a region to isolate resources.

Why this helps

Private network requests can be approved yet remain unimplemented while details are copied between tools.

  • Start provisioning from a completed request sent by HTTP.
  • Check that both a network name and region are supplied.
  • Report missing details instead of attempting incomplete provisioning.

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 VPC from a completed request only when its name and region are specified.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and send finalized network requests to it.
  • 5Choose where run reports go and test with one complete request.

Questions about this workflow

What information should the request include?

Include the VPC name and the specific DigitalOcean region.

Can Notis start this from an ActiveMerge event directly?

ActiveMerge has no listed trigger event here. Use the Notis webhook and send it an HTTP request when the request is ready.
