Get a Scheduled Snapshot Inventory Report

See which DigitalOcean snapshots are available without remembering to check the console manually.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

List All Snapshots

Tool to list all snapshots available on your digitalocean account. use when you need to fetch and optionally filter snapshots by resource type (droplet or volume) and handle pagination for inventory or backup workflows.

Why this helps

Snapshot inventory is easy to forget until a restore or cleanup decision becomes urgent.

  • Keep snapshot visibility on a recurring schedule.
  • Review available snapshots and their resource types in one report.
  • Reduce the effort required to remember and repeat an inventory check.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis to list available snapshots and summarize their resource types and any available identifying details.
  • 4Pick a Notis cron trigger and set the recurring schedule.
  • 5Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real inventory run.

Questions about this workflow

Can the report filter snapshots by resource type?

Yes. Ask Notis to summarize or filter using the resource type information returned by the snapshot list action.

Does this delete old snapshots?

No. It lists and summarizes snapshots. Deletion is a separate action and is not part of this workflow.

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.
