- Reduce context switching during operational reviews.
- Receive a concise run report in a channel you choose.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the Droplet inventory and summarize it in the run report when the view changes.
- 4Pick Airtable View Metadata Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real view metadata change and review the inventory report.
