Action
Create New Droplet
Tool to create a new droplet. use when you need to provision a vm with name, region, size, and image.
Why this helps
Provisioning requests get buried in the inbox while someone waits for a server.
- Reduce manual handoff from inbox to cloud console
- Use the requester's stated droplet details as context
- Keep the provisioning request and run report easy to find
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent Mail and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to review each new email for a complete droplet request and create the droplet using the request details.
- 4Pick New Email Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real provisioning email.
Questions about this workflow
What details should the request include?
Ask for the droplet name, region, size, and image. Notis can only act on details available in the email and connected app.
Will every email create a droplet?
The automation should create one only when the email is a clear provisioning request with enough information. Test the instruction with a real example.
