Create a DigitalOcean volume from Telegram
When backup storage is needed, describe it in a Telegram message and keep the provisioning request out of your task list.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
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."
Why this helps
Storage setup details get lost between a chat, a reminder, and the cloud console.
- Keep storage requests close to the conversation that prompted them.
- Include volume name, size, region, and filesystem in a single instruction.
- Reduce the chance of postponing a routine backup setup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and DigitalOcean to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for one in plain language.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: When I request backup storage in Telegram, create the specified DigitalOcean volume.
- 4Choose Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and set a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a real volume request and a region that supports volumes.
Questions about this workflow
What details should I include?
State the volume name, size, region, and filesystem. Check that the selected region supports block storage volumes.
Does this attach the volume to a server?
The selected DigitalOcean action creates a new block storage volume; it does not attach it to a Droplet.
