New team members can wait for access because identity and infrastructure setup happen in separate places.

  • Reduce onboarding delays
  • Use the public key supplied in the user record
  • Create an auditable result for each onboarding event

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and DigitalOcean in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named New user SSH access key.
  • 3Tell Notis to register the user's public SSH key only when the new Zendesk user record includes an approved key and name.
  • 4Pick New User Created as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test it with one real user record that has a public key.

What happens without a public key?

Notis can report that the key is missing and skip the DigitalOcean action.

Does this create a private key?
