Bring snapshot inventory into a backup review
Start a snapshot inventory from the request that needs it, then use a concise report to decide what needs a closer look.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List All Snapshots
Tool to list all snapshots available on your digitalocean account. use when you need to fetch and optionally filter snapshots by resource type (droplet or volume) and handle pagination for inventory or backup workflows.
Why this helps
Backup reviews stall when snapshot information is scattered across cloud console pages.
- Bring snapshot inventory into a specific review request
- Reduce time spent searching for backups
- Provide resource type context for follow-up
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 snapshots for the requested resource type if specified, handle pagination as needed, and summarize returned inventory without claiming a snapshot is restorable unless the data says so.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real backup review request to the webhook.
