Set up a private network for a deal environment

Turn a clear infrastructure request into a private network without losing the deal context that prompted it.

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

A deal environment can be approved while the network setup request remains buried in notes or messages.

  • Convert an explicit approval request into VPC provisioning.
  • Keep the deal and environment context with the run report.
  • Reduce follow-up to turn an approval into infrastructure setup.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Affinity and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Deal Environment Network.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a VPC only when the request confirms approval and includes a name and supported region.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real approved environment request and review the result.

Questions about this workflow

Will the workflow decide whether a deal is approved?

The webhook request must state that approval is confirmed. The available DigitalOcean action creates a VPC and does not verify Affinity deal status.

What must the request include?

Include the requested VPC name and region. Confirm the region supports the intended setup before asking Notis to create it.
