Turn Approved Server Rules into a DigitalOcean Firewall
Carry finalized firewall rules from a completed request into DigitalOcean with a clear run report.
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 stall when approved rules still need to be re-entered and checked by hand.
- Start from an HTTP request sent when the rules are ready.
- Require at least one inbound and one outbound rule before creation.
- Get a report when required rules are absent.
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 firewall only from a completed request with a name and at least one inbound and one outbound rule.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and send finalized firewall requests to it.
- 5Choose a report channel and test using one real request with both rule directions.
