How do I check a Jenkins build's status?

Short answer: You can get jenkins build status in Jenkins by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Jenkins Get Jenkins Build Status action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Jenkins Build Status.

What does the Get Jenkins Build Status action do in Jenkins?

Returns the current state of a specific build number — queued, building, success, failure, aborted. The standard polling lookup after Trigger Build.

What inputs does Get Jenkins Build Status require?

Required: Job Name. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Jenkins returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Jenkins returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Get Jenkins Build Status support batch operations?

Run Get Jenkins Build Status inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Jenkins's rate limits.
