List DigitalOcean snapshots for a support review

Give backup questions a current view of available recovery points.

Trigger

New Zendesk Ticket

Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.

Action

List All Snapshots

Tool to list all snapshots available on your digitalocean account. use when you need to fetch and optionally filter snapshots by resource type (droplet or volume) and handle pagination for inventory or backup workflows.

Why this helps

Recovery reviews are harder when snapshots are scattered across manual lookups.

  • Speed up recovery checks
  • Surface snapshot resource types and metadata
  • Keep backup context in the ticket

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and DigitalOcean in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Ticket to snapshot inventory.
  • 3Tell Notis to list snapshots for backup or recovery tickets, applying any resource type or filter stated in the ticket, then summarize the results.
  • 4Pick New Zendesk Ticket as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test it with one real recovery ticket.

Questions about this workflow
