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.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
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."
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.
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.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Create Domain Record
Tool to create a new dns record for a domain. use after confirming domain exists and record specifics.
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.
Create New Droplet
Tool to create a new droplet. use when you need to provision a vm with name, region, size, and image.
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.
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).
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.
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.
