Examples

Ways Notis can move work from Google Drive to Digital ocean

View example

Provision a Droplet from a Drive Deployment Brief

Turn a new, complete deployment brief in Google Drive into a DigitalOcean Droplet request, using the region, size, image, and name specified in the brief.

View example

Turn Database Plan Comments into Cluster Requests

When a comment is added to a Google document with a database plan, have Notis assess whether it contains a complete managed cluster request and create the specified cluster.

View example

Create Backup Volumes from Updated Drive Plans

When a Drive file is updated, have Notis check whether a backup plan now specifies a volume name, region, size, and filesystem before creating a DigitalOcean volume.

View example

Create Firewalls from Shared Security Specifications

When a Drive file or folder gains a new share permission, have Notis inspect the related security specification and create a DigitalOcean Firewall only when it contains complete inbound and outbound rules.

View example

Tag Resources from Matching Drive Plans

When a new Drive file matches a query, have Notis read its resource organization plan and create a DigitalOcean tag when the tag name is specified and valid.

View example

Check Droplet Inventory Before a Deployment Request

Start a Notis automation with an HTTP request, list DigitalOcean Droplets, and report whether the supplied deployment request appears to match existing infrastructure.

View example

Send a Scheduled DigitalOcean Snapshot Inventory

On a schedule, list DigitalOcean snapshots and send a concise inventory report to the chosen Notis report channel.

View example

Review DigitalOcean Firewall Inventory on a Schedule

On a recurring schedule, list DigitalOcean firewalls and summarize the available inventory for a quick review.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Digital ocean. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Digital ocean actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Create Custom Image

Tool to create a new custom image by providing a url to a linux vm image. use when you need to import a vm image into digitalocean after specifying name, url, distribution, and region.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Create Database Cluster

Tool to create a new managed database cluster. use when you need to provision a database cluster with name, engine, version, region, size, and number of nodes.

ActionInstant

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Create New Block Storage Volume

Tool to create a new block storage volume. use when you need to provision persistent block storage after confirming the target region supports volumes. example: "create a 100 gib ext4 backup volume named 'db-backup' in nyc1."

ActionInstant

File Created

TriggerPolling

Create New Domain

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

TriggerPolling

Create Domain Record

Tool to create a new dns record for a domain. use after confirming domain exists and record specifics.

ActionInstant

File Shared (Permissions Added)

Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.

TriggerPolling

Create New Droplet

Tool to create a new droplet. use when you need to provision a vm with name, region, size, and image.

ActionInstant

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
