Compare your droplet inventory with Box requests
Keep a recurring view of requested infrastructure and the droplets currently in DigitalOcean, with Notis reporting items that may need a human check.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List All Droplets
Tool to list all droplets in your account. use when you need an overview of droplets, optionally filtered by tag. use after authentication.
Why this helps
It takes time to reconcile written server requests with a separate cloud inventory, and open requests can be overlooked.
- Bring a recurring droplet list to a predictable report.
- Compare current resources with the Box requests you direct Notis to inspect.
- Flag possible gaps for review without assuming a request was fulfilled.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to list current DigitalOcean droplets, review the Box requests you identify, and report possible unmatched requests with its reasoning and any uncertain matches.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review whether the comparison is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Can this prove a request has been fulfilled?
Not necessarily. The listed droplets and Box request contents may not share a reliable identifier. Ask Notis to report possible matches and uncertainty, and include a naming convention or reference in your instruction if available.
What runs on each schedule?
The workflow uses the DigitalOcean List All Droplets action and the Box content you direct Notis to review. Set a cadence appropriate to your operational review.
