Why this helps
After announcing a launch, it can take extra context switching to check what droplets are running.
- Pair launch communication with an infrastructure review.
- See droplet inventory in the Notis run report.
- Reduce the need to remember a separate manual check.

- 1Connect Gmail and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the droplet inventory when you send a launch update and summarize the returned results.
- 4Pick Email Sent as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by sending one real launch update and reviewing the inventory report.
