Find a DigitalOcean SSH key from Slack

Answer access questions quickly while keeping the lookup in a private Slack conversation.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.

Action

List All SSH Keys

Tool to list all ssh keys in your account. use when you need to retrieve ssh key metadata.

Why this helps

Access troubleshooting slows down when key metadata is scattered across consoles and notes.

  • Speed up access troubleshooting
  • Keep sensitive context private
  • Avoid repeated console searches

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Digital ocean in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named SSH key lookup.
  • 3Tell Notis to list SSH key metadata and summarize only the key requested in the DM.
  • 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger.
  • 5Choose run reports and test with a known key name or fingerprint.

Questions about this workflow

Will the private key be exposed?

DigitalOcean returns key metadata, not private key material, and the workflow should request metadata only.

Can this create a new key?

Use a separate workflow with the Create New SSH Key action.
