Provision a DigitalOcean Droplet from a Signed Request
Move from a completed infrastructure request to a provisioned server without re-entering its details.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create New Droplet
Creates a new Droplet virtual machine.
Why this helps
Provisioning requests can sit in a document while someone manually transfers configuration into a cloud console.
- Start provisioning from a completed request sent to a Notis webhook.
- Check that the request contains the required name, region, size, and image before creating a Droplet.
- Send a run report to the channel you choose.
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 Droplet only from a completed request that includes its name, region, size, and image; ask it to report missing details without provisioning.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and send completed ActiveMerge requests to it.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real request that has all required details.
Questions about this workflow
Does ActiveMerge have to provide a trigger event?
No. Start the automation with a Notis webhook and have the external system send an HTTP request when the request is ready.
What if the request is missing a provisioning detail?
Tell Notis to report which details are missing and wait for a complete request before creating the Droplet.
