Validate Agent Capacity Against Updated Project Scope
When project scope changes, you need to know if your CI can keep up. Get real-time agent status automatically.
Trigger
Project Properties Updated
Fires when properties on a Linear project change (status, lead, target date, priority, etc.). Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token.
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
Project requirements change mid-work and you need to assess if CI capacity still fits the new scope but have to manually check Buildkite
- Agent capacity visible when scope changes
- Resource constraints identified early
- Project planning stays on track
- No manual capacity checks needed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Buildkite to Notis
- 2Create automation: When a project's scope, priority, or target date updates in Linear, list available Buildkite agents and post capacity status
- 3Set trigger to Project Properties Updated
- 4Choose your notification channel
- 5Test by updating a project priority and verify agent status appears
Questions about this workflow
Will this trigger for every property change?
By default yes, but you can filter to specific properties like scope or deadline changes only
Should I use this for project creation too?
There is a separate automation specifically for project creation - this one is for mid-project scope changes
Can agents be allocated or reserved per project?
This automation shows total available agents. Project-specific allocation happens in your Buildkite configuration.
