See connected Buildkite agents when someone asks

Use an incoming request to get a current list of connected Buildkite agents, with the organization identified in the instruction.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

List Pipeline Agents

Tool to list connected agents for an organization. use after confirming the organization slug. supports optional filtering and pagination.

Why this helps

When a build is waiting, tracking down the current agent list adds another manual step.

  • Retrieve a current connected-agent list on request.
  • Keep the lookup tied to an incoming request.
  • Reduce manual navigation when checking agent availability.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and Buildkite once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to list connected agents for the confirmed Buildkite organization and summarize the result; include the organization slug in the instruction.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example by sending an HTTP request to the Notis webhook.

Questions about this workflow

What does the action return?

It lists connected agents for an organization and supports optional filtering and pagination.

Does Notis discover the organization slug?

The organization slug must be confirmed and included in the instruction.

Can this determine whether there are enough agents for a build?

Only if you provide the expected capacity or other baseline. The action returns connected agents, not an expected workload.
