Vestaboard is a smart messaging display that allows users to send and receive messages through a mechanical split-flap display.
Vestaboard is a smart messaging display that allows users to send and receive messages through a mechanical split-flap display. On Nagent, Vestaboard is exposed as a fully-configurable notifications integration that any agent can call — 2 actions, and API key authentication. No code is required to wire Vestaboard into your workflow — connect it once via the External Integrations panel and reuse it across every agent you build.
Agent builders use Vestaboard to automate the kinds of tasks notifications teams previously handled manually. Concrete examples — each one is a single agent step in Nagent — include:
Every action and trigger is paired with a structured input/output schema (visible in the sections below), so when you wire Vestaboard into Helix — our agentic agent builder — the editor knows exactly what each step expects and produces. Configure once, deploy anywhere across your Nagent agents.
Every operation an agent can call against Vestaboard, with input parameters and output schema. Drop these into any step of an agent built in Helix.
VESTABOARD_LIST_SUBSCRIPTIONSLists all Vestaboard subscriptions accessible with the current credentials. Returns subscription and board information for accessible Vestaboard displays. Use this to discover which boards you can send messages to, then use the subscription ID with the send message action. Example usage: "Show me my Vestaboard subscriptions" or "What Vestaboard boards can I access?"
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
VESTABOARD_SUBSCRIPTION_API_SEND_MESSAGESend a message to a Vestaboard board. This action posts text or character codes to your Vestaboard display. You can send either plain text (which will be formatted automatically) or a 6x22 matrix of character codes for precise control. When using token-based authentication, the message is sent to the board associated with your authentication token. Examples: - "Display 'Hello World' on my Vestaboard" - "Send the message 'Meeting in 5 minutes' to my board"
Input parameters
Message as plain text (max 132 characters). Either this or 'characters' is required.
6×22 matrix of integer character codes. Either this or 'text' is required.
The subscription ID (optional for token-based auth; the token determines the target board).
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
No publicly available marketplace agent is found using this tool yet. There are 67 agents privately built on Nagent that already use Vestaboard.
Build on Nagent
Connect Vestaboard to any Nagent agent in minutes — no API key management, no boilerplate. Just configure and deploy.
The five questions agent builders ask before adopting a new integration.
Open the External Integrations panel inside Nagent (app.nagent.ai/externalIntegration), find Vestaboard, and click "Connect Now." You'll authenticate with an API key — Nagent handles credential storage and refresh automatically. Once connected, Vestaboard is available to any agent in your workspace.
No. Nagent provides no-code integration for every tool. Once Vestaboard is connected, you configure its 2 actions directly in the agent builder UI — no API calls, no boilerplate, no schema management.
Helix — Nagent's agentic agent builder — lets you drop Vestaboard steps into any workflow visually. Pick an action (e.g., one of those listed above), fill in the inputs (Helix knows the required vs. optional schema for each parameter), and connect it to upstream/downstream steps. Triggers run as the entry point of an agent, so when a Vestaboard event fires, the agent kicks off automatically.
Every Vestaboard action and trigger ships with a fully-typed schema — input parameters with name, type, required flag, and description, plus the output payload shape. The schemas are documented in the sections above. Helix uses these schemas to validate your configuration at build time and to type-check the data flowing between steps.
Yes. While Vestaboard ships with 2 pre-built notifications actions, you can layer custom logic around them inside Helix — pre/post-processing steps, conditional branches, retries, or stitching Vestaboard together with other connected tools.
