Bring a Current Droplet Inventory to Your Meeting
Get the latest droplet list shortly before an infrastructure review, without stopping to gather it manually.
Trigger
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.
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
Infrastructure meetings lose momentum when nobody has a current view of the droplets in the account.
- Gather a current droplet list before a scheduled review.
- Keep inventory collection attached to the meeting workflow.
- Spend meeting time discussing decisions instead of collecting basic information.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
- 2In Automations, choose New Automation and name the inventory workflow.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the DigitalOcean droplet inventory for the relevant infrastructure review and summarize it in the run report.
- 4Choose Event Starting Soon and set the lead time for the review.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real upcoming review event.
Questions about this workflow
Will the inventory include full details for every droplet?
The List All Droplets action returns a droplet overview. For detailed status on a specific droplet, include its ID and ask Notis to retrieve that droplet separately.
How does Notis know which events are infrastructure reviews?
Describe the event context or naming cues in your instruction so Notis can decide when the workflow is relevant.
