Get BART departure options from a WhatsApp request

Send your origin, destination, and preferred departure time in a request. Notis can fetch BART schedule information and return the options where you ask for them.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get BART Schedule Depart

Tool to get schedule information based on a specified depart time. use when planning trips from an origin to a destination with time constraints after confirming station codes.

Why this helps

A travel request buried in a chat can mean switching apps, looking up station codes, and rebuilding the trip details by hand.

  • Keep trip planning close to the original chat request.
  • Get schedule options using the departure time and station codes in the request.
  • Receive a run report in your chosen channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect 2chat and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the request's origin and destination station codes and departure time to retrieve BART schedule options.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request that includes confirmed BART station codes.

Questions about this workflow

What does the request need to include?

Include the origin and destination station codes and the desired departure time. Confirm the codes before testing.

Does 2chat start this automation with a native event?

No. 2chat has no trigger events in this package, so the automation starts from a Notis webhook request.
