This workflow is designed to automate task reminders by retrieving tasks from a Notion database and sending reminders to Slack users. It checks for incomplete tasks from a Notion database and sends a Slack message to the relevant users with the task details and due dates. The automation is scheduled to run every weekday at 9:00 AM, ensuring that users are always reminded of pending tasks. Who is this for? This workflow is ideal for teams or individuals who manage their tasks using Notion but rely on Slack for communication. It provides an automated solution for ensuring that tasks in Notion are followed up on, reducing the risk of missing deadlines. What problem is this workflow solving? Often, team members need to be reminded of tasks from various platforms. This workflow bridges the gap between task management in Notion and communication in Slack by automatically sending task reminders. It ensures that team members are informed of their pending tasks each morning, helping them stay organized and on top of their work. What this workflow does Triggers every weekday at 9:00 AM: The workflow runs at 9:00 AM, Monday through Friday. Fetches tasks from Notion: It retrieves tasks from a Notion database. Filters incomplete tasks: The workflow filters tasks that are not marked as "Done." Fetches Slack users: It retrieves all Slack users to ensure that the reminders are sent to the correct user. Matches tasks to the correct user: It checks the Notion task assignee and matches it with the appropriate Slack user. Sends Slack reminders: Sends a Slack direct message to each user with their incomplete tasks and due dates. Setup Connect Notion: You will need to connect your Notion account and specify the database containing tasks. Connect Slack: Authenticate with Slack using OAuth to allow the workflow to send messages on your behalf. Notion user email mapping: Ensure that the Notion users’ email addresses are correctly mapped to their corresponding Notion user profiles. Slack user full name mapping: Ensure that the Slack users’ full names are correctly mapped to their corresponding Slack user profiles. Adjust schedule: If needed, modify the schedule node to run at a different time or frequency. How to customize this workflow Change the database: You can adjust the workflow to pull tasks from a different Notion database by modifying the "Get To Dos from Tasks Database" node. Add more users: The workflow currently supports two users, but you can expand it to support more by adding additional logic in the "Switch for Notion Users Emails" node. Modify the message format: The Slack message content can be customized further to include more task details or change the message format. Workflow Summary This workflow automates sending task reminders from a Notion database to Slack users. By running every weekday morning, it ensures that users receive timely reminders of their incomplete tasks, helping them stay organized and efficient.
By Darryn BalancoAutomate droplet snapshots on DigitalOcean
This workflow automates the management of DigitalOcean Droplet snapshots by listing all droplets, filtering based on the number of snapshots, and deleting excess snapshots before creating new ones. It ensures your droplet snapshots stay organized and within a manageable limit, preventing unnecessary storage costs due to an excess of snapshots. Who is this for? This workflow is perfect for users managing DigitalOcean Droplets and looking to automate the process of snapshot creation and cleanup to save on storage costs and maintain efficient resource management. It’s useful for DevOps teams, cloud administrators, or any developer leveraging DigitalOcean for their infrastructure. What problem is this workflow solving? When managing multiple DigitalOcean Droplets, snapshots can quickly accumulate, taking up space and increasing storage costs. Manually deleting and creating snapshots can be time-consuming and inefficient. This automation solves this problem by automating the snapshot management process, ensuring that no more than a defined number of snapshots are kept per droplet. What this workflow does Runs every 48 hours: The workflow is triggered by a cron node that runs every 48 hours, ensuring timely snapshot management. List all droplets: The workflow retrieves all droplets in the DigitalOcean account. Retrieve snapshots: For each droplet, the workflow retrieves a list of existing snapshots. Filter snapshots: If the number of snapshots exceeds 4, the workflow filters for snapshots that need to be deleted. Delete snapshots: Excess snapshots are automatically deleted based on the filter criteria. Create new snapshot: After cleaning up, the workflow creates a new snapshot for each droplet, ensuring that backups are always up-to-date. Setup DigitalOcean API Key: You’ll need to configure the HTTP Request nodes with your DigitalOcean API key. This key is required for authenticating requests to list droplets, retrieve snapshots, delete snapshots, and create new ones. Snapshot Threshold: By default, the workflow is set to keep no more than 4 snapshots per droplet. This can be adjusted by modifying the filter node conditions. Set Execution Frequency: The cron node is set to run every 48 hours, but you can adjust the timing to suit your needs. How to customize this workflow Adjust Snapshot Limit: Change the value in the filter node if you want to keep more or fewer snapshots. Modify Run Frequency: The workflow runs every 48 hours by default. You can change the frequency in the cron node to run more or less often. Enhance with Notifications: You can add a notification node (e.g., Slack or email) to alert you when snapshots are deleted or created. Workflow Summary This workflow automates the management of DigitalOcean Droplet snapshots by keeping the number of snapshots under a defined limit, deleting the oldest ones, and ensuring new snapshots are created at regular intervals.
