Why this helps

Finding the latest schedule feed can slow down analysis that depends on current transit data.

  • Download the latest static GTFS feed from a request.
  • Keep schedule-data retrieval tied to the task that needs it.
  • Use a webhook to start the retrieval when required.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Abstract and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to download the latest BART static GTFS schedule feed for the request.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and the channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real request and check the run report for the download result.
