Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
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
Buildkite agent checks can get lost when requests arrive in an already crowded inbox.
- Review connected agents without switching tools to run the check.
- Keep the requested organization context alongside the run report.
- Reduce follow-up when someone asks whether agents are connected.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Buildkite once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use the organization slug supplied in the email to list connected agents and summarize the result in the run report.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real email that includes the organization slug.
Questions about this workflow
Does the email trigger choose which messages count?
No filters are configured in setup. Tell Notis in the automation instruction how to interpret the message, and test it with a real request.
Where does the organization slug come from?
Include it in the request email or provide it in the instruction. The Buildkite action requires a confirmed organization slug.
