Create a DigitalOcean Droplet from a Telegram message

Keep infrastructure requests in the chat you already use. Tell Notis what server you need, and it can create the Droplet from your message.

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 Droplet

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

Why this helps

Provisioning a server means breaking focus to open a cloud dashboard and re-enter details from a chat.

  • Start server setup without leaving Telegram.
  • Capture the intended Droplet details in one plain-language request.
  • Get run updates in your chosen reporting channel.

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 to create one conversationally.
  • 3Use one instruction such as: When I send a server request to the bot, create the specified DigitalOcean Droplet.
  • 4Select Telegram New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real request that includes the Droplet name, region, size, and image.

Questions about this workflow

What should my Telegram message include?

Include a Droplet name, region, size, and image so Notis has the requested configuration.

Will this respond to every message?

The automation runs for messages the connected Telegram bot receives. Use a clear server request instruction so Notis can identify the intended provisioning request.
