Create a block volume from a parsed storage request

Move storage requests out of the inbox and into a clear provisioning workflow with the requested volume details in view.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create New Block Storage Volume

Creates a new block storage volume.

Why this helps

A storage request can be delayed when its size, region, or filesystem details need to be gathered again.

  • Surface missing volume requirements before creating anything.
  • Reduce manual handling of storage requests.
  • Receive a report with the outcome of each run.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airparser and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a volume only when the name, size, region, and filesystem are clear and the region supports volumes; otherwise report missing information.
  • 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real parsed storage request.

Questions about this workflow

Does the workflow verify region support?

The action description requires confirming that the target region supports volumes. Instruct Notis to verify this before creating the volume.

Can it infer a requested filesystem?

Require the parsed request or your instruction to provide the filesystem. The workflow should ask for clarification when it is absent.
