Trigger

Why this helps
Remembering who to contact about an outstanding build or deployment creates avoidable mental overhead.
- Search Slack users using available names, emails, or other text.
- Put likely contacts in the run report for review.
- Make recurring follow-up preparation more consistent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or by telling Notis what to do in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the Buildkite follow-up context to find relevant Slack users and explain the match.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real follow-up item and verify any suggested user matches.
Questions about this workflow
Will this workflow assign or message a Slack user?
No. The Find users action searches for users and returns matches; it does not assign work or send a message.
What if Buildkite context does not identify a person?
The automation can search only from provided context. Include a name, email, or useful text when that information is available.
