Programatically get the user that unblocks a block or input step

[petarlishov-fd]

Is it possible to programatically fetch information on the person that unblocks a step in a follow-up step?

Say you have a block step and it unblocks some validation step which needs to know who unblocked the block step… How does one do that? It seems Buildkite stores that information as the UI shows it (photo attached).

Hi @petarlishov-fd ,

Welcome to the Buildkite Community !

The information about who unblocked the build can be found from the build’s environment variables. You can checkout more details here: Environment Variables | Buildkite Documentation.

Cheers,
