Get BART station details without leaving the chat

When a request names a station, Notis can look up its details using the station abbreviation and return the result in a run report.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get Station Info

Tool to fetch detailed information for a specified bart station. use after you have a station's abbreviation. (e.g., get station info for 'balb')

Why this helps

Station abbreviations and details are easy to lose track of when a travel question arrives in a busy chat.

  • Look up station details from the abbreviation in a request.
  • Keep station research close to the conversation that prompted it.
  • Reduce manual searching for individual station information.

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 name it for station lookups.
  • 3Tell Notis to fetch detailed information for the station abbreviation included in the request.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request using a confirmed station abbreviation, such as balb.
