Create a DigitalOcean firewall from AnyDB rules
Keep firewall intent in a reviewable AnyDB record, then have Notis create the firewall when the request is ready.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create New Firewall
Creates a cloud firewall with custom traffic rules.
Why this helps
Firewall rules can be easy to miscopy when request details and cloud configuration live in separate tools.
- Keep rule intent attached to its request.
- Require both inbound and outbound rules before creation.
- Reduce repeated manual entry.
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 create a firewall from reviewed rules and report if either inbound or outbound rules are missing.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real reviewed request containing both rule directions.
