Why this helps
Infrastructure requests buried in email create delays, follow-up loops, and configuration mistakes.
- Extracts requested region, size, image, and name from the message
- Keeps provisioning work visible in one run report
- Reduces copy and paste between email and cloud consoles
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Digital ocean in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that reviews infrastructure request emails and prepares a droplet action.
- 3Describe the required approval and configuration outcome in one instruction.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received Trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test it with one real request email.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically create every droplet?
Your instruction can require a review or approval condition before the Create New Droplet action runs.
What if the email omits a region or image?
Tell Notis to flag missing values and report the request instead of guessing.
