Notis

Fetch live BART trip data from VAT webhooks

Bring current train movement into the same flow that receives your request.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get GTFS-RT Trip Updates

Tool to fetch real-time trip updates in gtfs-realtime format. use when you need the latest live trip information as raw protobuf.

Why this helps

Live trip context is often missing when teams handle webhooks and transit updates separately.

  • Get current trip updates quickly
  • Keep raw feed context available
  • Support informed follow up

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 44API and Bart in Notis once.
  • 2Create a new automation and name the live trip webhook lookup.
  • 3Tell Notis to fetch GTFS-RT trip updates and summarize the ones relevant to the webhook.
  • 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose a report destination.
  • 5Test with one webhook and inspect the returned updates.

Questions about this workflow

Is the returned data human readable?

The action returns GTFS-RT data, and Notis can summarize it for your report.

What if the webhook has no route context?

Ask Notis for a general feed summary or provide route details in the request.
