How do I list DigitalOcean droplets?

Short answer: You can list droplets in DigitalOcean by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the DigitalOcean List Droplets action to a workflow, map its 0 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about List Droplets.

What does the List Droplets action do in DigitalOcean?
Returns paginated droplets with optional tag filter. Useful for fleet-management workflows ("show me all droplets tagged staging") or for cost-rollup reporting workflows.
What inputs does List Droplets require?
List Droplets has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if DigitalOcean returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does List Droplets support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Droplets inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles DigitalOcean's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.

Other DigitalOcean actions.

Action
Create Droplet
Provisions 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.
Action
Delete Droplet
Permanently 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.
Action
Get Droplet
Returns 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).
Action
Reboot Droplet
Sends ACPI shutdown then powers back on — disk persists. Useful for "weekly maintenance restart" workflows or for "service hung, try reboot" incident-response patterns.
