Look up DigitalOcean volumes from Slack

Keep storage questions moving with a volume inventory retrieved when someone asks in a Slack channel.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

List All Volumes

Tool to list all block storage volumes available on your account. use when you need to retrieve volumes and optionally filter by name and region.

Why this helps

Storage details can be easy to forget, and searching for them mid-task creates an unnecessary interruption.

  • Retrieve volumes by name and region when useful for the request.
  • Give storage discussions a current inventory to work from.
  • Reduce memory-based answers and repeated console searches.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and DigitalOcean to Notis once via the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a plain-language prompt to list DigitalOcean volumes when Slack asks for a storage lookup.
  • 3Choose Channel Message Received and select where run reports should appear.
  • 4Test with a real request for the volume inventory.

Questions about this workflow
