Create a preview server from an Agility CMS publish event
Turn a content publish signal into a ready-to-check preview server, with the run report sent to your chosen channel.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create New Droplet

Why this helps
Preview environments can be easy to forget when a content change is ready for review.
- Reduce manual handoffs between publishing and infrastructure setup.
- Use an approved droplet configuration supplied in the automation prompt or webhook context.
- Get a report when the provisioning request completes or needs missing details.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe when a preview droplet should be created, including the approved region, size, image, and naming rules.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and configure Agility CMS to send the relevant publish request to its URL.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real preview request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run on every Agility CMS publish automatically?
Only when Agility CMS or an intermediary sends the configured request to the Notis webhook. The automation prompt should define which requests qualify.
What if the request does not include server details?
Tell Notis to use only approved defaults supplied in the prompt and report any missing required information instead of guessing.
