DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean droplet management

DigitalOcean is the developer-friendly cloud (droplets, managed databases, Spaces object storage, App Platform), and Tiny Command's connector focuses on the droplet (VM) management surface — the most common automation need. Five actions, no triggers: List Droplets (paginated, with optional tag filter), Get Droplet (the IP addresses, image, region, size, status, and feature flags), Create Droplet (with image, region, size, SSH keys, user data, backups, monitoring), Reboot Droplet (graceful reboot via ACPI signal), and Delete Droplet (irrevocable). The connection uses a DigitalOcean Personal Access Token from API → Tokens, scoped to read or read+write. For event-driven workflows (a droplet went down), use DigitalOcean Monitoring alerts which can post to a webhook URL — point them at a Tiny Command webhook trigger. The typical pattern: a deploy workflow Creates a Droplet from a snapshot image, polls Get Droplet until status is "active", then runs the application via SSH or a cloud-init user_data script.

Actions

Do anything DigitalOcean can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

ActionWhat it does
Create DropletProvisions a new droplet with image, size, region, SSH keys, and optional cloud-init user_data. Useful for "spin up a sandbox for this PR" CI/CD workflows or for elastic-scaling "add a worker when queue depth crosses N" infrastructure automation.
Delete DropletPermanently destroys a droplet — irreversible, all data lost. For automated cleanup after CI tests, for cost-control workflows that tear down idle dev droplets overnight, or for incident-response "isolate compromised host" patterns.
Get DropletReturns droplet metadata — IPs, status, image, region, size, features. The standard lookup after Create Droplet to wait for status=active (Create returns immediately while provisioning is still in progress).
List DropletsReturns paginated droplets with optional tag filter. Useful for fleet-management workflows ("show me all droplets tagged staging") or for cost-rollup reporting workflows.
Reboot DropletSends ACPI shutdown then powers back on — disk persists. Useful for "weekly maintenance restart" workflows or for "service hung, try reboot" incident-response patterns.

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect DigitalOcean once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every DigitalOcean field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

FAQ

Questions about the DigitalOcean integration.

If we missed yours, ping support. We usually reply within an hour.

How do I connect DigitalOcean to Tiny Command?
Open the Tiny Command workflow builder, drop in a DigitalOcean node, and click Connect. Authorize DigitalOcean once and any workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. Most teams finish the connection in under two minutes.
What DigitalOcean triggers does Tiny Command support?
Tiny Command focuses on outbound actions for DigitalOcean today. Use Tiny Command's universal Webhook or Schedule trigger to start DigitalOcean workflows, then run any DigitalOcean action you need.
What DigitalOcean actions can I run from a workflow?
5 DigitalOcean actions are available out of the box, covering other operations like "Create Droplet". Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's a search result, an AI output, or a form field.
Is the DigitalOcean integration real-time?
DigitalOcean actions execute synchronously inside your workflow. Tiny Command waits for DigitalOcean's API to confirm before continuing to the next step, so downstream nodes can rely on the result.
Do I need to write code to use DigitalOcean with Tiny Command?
No. Every DigitalOcean trigger and action is fully configurable from the visual workflow builder. For edge cases that aren't covered, drop in a custom HTTP node and call any DigitalOcean API endpoint directly.
How much does the DigitalOcean integration cost?
There's a free tier you can start on without a credit card. Higher run volumes and team features come with paid plans. The DigitalOcean integration itself has no per-app surcharge.
