FAQ

Questions about Reboot Droplet.

What does the Reboot Droplet action do in DigitalOcean?

Sends ACPI shutdown then powers back on — disk persists. Useful for "weekly maintenance restart" workflows or for "service hung, try reboot" incident-response patterns.

What inputs does Reboot Droplet require?

Required: Droplet ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

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 Reboot Droplet support batch operations?

Yes. Run Reboot Droplet inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles DigitalOcean's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
