Why this helps
You maintain an agent checklist in Sheets, then still have to switch to Buildkite to verify what is online.
- Review agent availability in response to a new tracking row.
- Reduce manual checking across Sheets and Buildkite.
- Keep the check result in the automation's run report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Buildkite once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named for your agent availability check.
- 3Tell Notis to use each new row as a cue to list connected agents for your confirmed Buildkite organization and summarize the relevant status.
- 4Choose New Rows in Google Sheet as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real row and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow start a Buildkite job?
No. The available Buildkite action lists connected agents; it does not start builds.
What organization information is needed?
Confirm the Buildkite organization slug in your instruction so Notis can request the connected agent list.
Can Notis decide which agents match a row?
Notis can compare returned agent information with details in the row when those details are present. It cannot report fields that neither app provides.
