Check Buildkite agent capacity from WhatsApp
Capture an inbound message about stuck builds and get the connected Buildkite agents in one report, without switching apps to investigate.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
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
Build capacity concerns arrive in chat, then disappear while you open Buildkite and work out where to look.
- Review the connected agent list when someone raises a build capacity concern.
- Keep the investigation and its result together in a run report.
- Reduce the need to leave WhatsApp and open Buildkite for an initial check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Buildkite once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review an inbound message about build capacity and list connected Buildkite agents for the organization slug you provide.
- 4Pick New Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real WhatsApp message and a valid Buildkite organization slug.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow start on every incoming WhatsApp message?
Yes. The listed trigger is New Message Received. You can describe the intended interpretation in the prompt, but you do not build trigger filters.
Does the workflow determine whether an agent is actually overloaded?
No. The supported Buildkite action lists connected agents. It does not provide workload or capacity measurements.
What does the Buildkite action need?
The List Pipeline Agents action requires a confirmed organization slug. Supply it in your instruction so Notis knows which organization's connected agents to list.

Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
