Provision a DigitalOcean droplet from an AnyDB request
Start from the infrastructure request your team already tracks. Notis can read the submitted details and create the droplet after the request is approved.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create New Droplet
Creates a new Droplet virtual machine.
Why this helps
Droplet requests can stall while someone copies configuration details from a database into a cloud console.
- Reduce manual copying between your database and DigitalOcean.
- Keep provisioning tied to an explicit request and approval.
- Send a run report to a channel your team checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to read an approved request and create a droplet using its specified name, region, size, and image.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approved request and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
What needs to be in the request?
Include the droplet name, region, size, image, and an explicit approval status. Notis can only use values available in the request or supplied in its instructions.
Does Notis create the droplet as soon as a request is submitted?
Describe the approval condition in your instruction so the workflow creates a droplet only for approved requests.
