List Pipelines for Project

Tool to list all pipelines for a specific project. use when you need to retrieve the pipelines for a project (e.g., to display recent runs on a dashboard).

Why this helps

Answering a simple build history question can mean interrupting work to search dashboards and reconstruct what happened.

  • Cut down on manual dashboard searches.
  • Prepare a focused summary from returned pipeline data.
  • Keep the request and follow-up tied to the same inbox conversation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agent mail and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from your usual channel.
  • 3Describe which pipeline history requests to handle and the summary to prepare in one instruction.
  • 4Pick Agent mail's New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real email asking about recent pipeline activity.

Questions about this workflow

Will it send the email reply automatically?

This package uses CircleCI pipeline retrieval to prepare a summary. Set the instruction to report the draft for review if a reply needs human approval.

What if the email does not identify a project?

Tell Notis to ask for the missing project information instead of choosing one.
