Write the security intent once and let Notis turn it into a configured firewall.

Trigger

New Task Created

Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.

Action

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).

Why this helps

Firewall work is often delayed because rule details are scattered across chats and tickets.

  • Make required rules explicit before execution
  • Keep security changes linked to a task
  • Reduce repetitive firewall configuration

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Todoist and DigitalOcean in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation that creates a firewall from a task containing its name plus at least one inbound and one outbound rule.
  • 3Pick Todoist New Task Created as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with a low-risk firewall request.

Questions about this workflow

What must a firewall task include?

Include the firewall name and at least one inbound and one outbound rule with enough protocol, port, and source or destination detail.

Can this workflow attach the firewall to droplets?

This workflow creates the firewall. Resource assignment needs a separate supported action.
