Check Buildkite agents when planning reaches a threshold
As the plan becomes substantial, get a current view of execution capacity.
Trigger
Document Word Count Threshold
Triggers when a Google Doc's word/character count crosses a user-defined threshold. This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when its word or character count becomes greater than or equal to the configured threshold value.
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
Planning can become detailed without anyone checking whether the delivery infrastructure is ready.
- Pair planning milestones with capacity checks
- Catch infrastructure gaps sooner
- Support better go or no-go decisions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Buildkite in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Planning Threshold Agent Check.
- 3Tell Notis to list connected Buildkite agents and summarize readiness for the work described by the document.
- 4Pick Document Word Count Threshold as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by crossing the configured threshold in a test document.
Questions about this workflow
Can it estimate whether capacity is enough?

Document Deleted
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is deleted (moved to trash). This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are trashed.
Document Placeholder Filled
Triggers when a Google Doc's plain text changes such that a configured placeholder token/pattern is no longer present (i.e., the document has been filled in). This trigger monitors a specific Google Doc and fires when a placeholder pattern that was previously present is no longer found in the document's plain text.
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
Document Structure Changed
Triggers when a Google Doc's structure changes (headers/footers added/removed, tables/images count changes). This trigger monitors a specific document for structural changes like: - Headers added or removed - Footers added or removed - Tables added or removed - Images (inline objects) added or removed - Positioned objects added or removed - Footnotes added or removed
Document Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.
