Move documented SSH access into DigitalOcean setup

Keep access notes connected to the key registration step, so a new environment does not depend on someone remembering a separate console task.

Trigger

Page Added to Page

Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.

Action

Create New SSH Key

Tool to create a new ssh key. use when you need to register a public key to access droplets.

Why this helps

SSH access instructions can be documented without completing the corresponding DigitalOcean key registration.

  • Connect access documentation to the infrastructure setup step.
  • Reduce repeat setup work when preparing an environment.
  • Keep a report of the key registration run.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and DigitalOcean to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation or ask Notis to register the documented public key when a new access subpage is added.
  • 3Select Page Added to Page for the designated parent page and choose a reporting channel.
  • 4Test with one real access subpage containing the intended public key, then review the run report.

Questions about this workflow

Should I put a private key in Notion?

No. This workflow is for registering a public SSH key; do not include private keys in the page or prompt.

Can this watch one parent page?

Yes. The Page Added to Page trigger is scoped to a specified parent page.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Notion 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

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

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

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

Create New Domain

Tool to create a new domain. use when you have the domain name and optionally an ip address to assign an a record.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

Create Domain Record

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

ActionInstant

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

TriggerInstant

Create New Droplet

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

ActionInstant

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

Create New Firewall

Tool to create a new firewall. use when you need to define a firewall name and custom rules (requires at least one inbound and one outbound rule).

ActionInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

TriggerInstant

Create New Kubernetes Cluster

Tool to create a new kubernetes cluster. use when you have finalized the cluster name, region, version, and at least one node pool. confirm region supports kubernetes clusters before use.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Notion and Digital ocean, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
