  • Keep the access request auditable in Todoist
  • Avoid manual console navigation for routine key registration

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Todoist and DigitalOcean in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation that registers the public SSH key described in a new task, including its key name.
  • 3Pick Todoist New Task Created as the trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports go and test with one real public key task.

Questions about this workflow

Should the task contain a private key?

No. Include only the public SSH key and its intended name.

Can the workflow rotate an existing key?
