Close the loop on retired infrastructure
When a service is confirmed retired, let the cleanup happen with an explicit safety gate.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete Existing Droplet
Tool to delete a droplet by id. use when you need to permanently remove an existing droplet after confirming its id to avoid unintended deletions.
Why this helps
Unused servers linger because deletion feels risky and the final confirmation gets deferred.
- Reduces forgotten infrastructure spend
- Adds a clear approval checkpoint
- Keeps cleanup from competing with product work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Globalping and DigitalOcean to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation named Approved droplet retirement.
- 3Use this instruction: When a webhook confirms Globalping shows no required traffic for the approved retired service, delete the specified DigitalOcean droplet only after verifying its id and retirement approval.
- 4Choose notis_webhook and select a reporting channel.
- 5Test with a non-production droplet and an explicit approval payload.
Questions about this workflow
Why require both verification and approval?
Deletion is irreversible, so the instruction should require both signals before acting.
Can this target droplets by name?
Use the name to find the resource, then require confirmation of the exact droplet id.
