Know which DigitalOcean volumes are in your inventory
A scheduled storage inventory can help you keep track of named volumes and regions without adding another manual reminder.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List All Volumes
Tool to list all block storage volumes available on your account. use when you need to retrieve volumes and optionally filter by name and region.
Why this helps
Block storage can persist outside the tasks that originally created it, making it difficult to remember what exists.
- Make persistent storage easier to review
- Reduce repetitive inventory checks
- Keep volume names and regions in a regular summary
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to list block storage volumes and summarize the returned names and regions, noting when no volumes are returned.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real volume inventory run.
Questions about this workflow
Will this delete unused volumes?
No. It retrieves the inventory for review. Deleting a volume is a separate, permanent action.
Can I narrow the report by region or name?
The listing action supports optional filters by name and region. Include your preferred scope in the instruction.
Does it verify volume backups?
The listed action returns volume inventory. Backup state is not specified by this action.
