Notis

Keep an eye on the number of active BART trains

Retrieve a current system train count as part of a regular operational check.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Train Count

Returns the current number of trains operating in the system.

Why this helps

When campaign work depends on transit context, checking system activity can become another manual lookup to remember.

  • Retrieve the current count of trains active in the BART system.
  • Include a system activity signal in a recurring review.
  • Reduce a standalone manual status lookup.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveCampaign and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the current count of active trains and report the result with its run context.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real run and review the returned count.

Questions about this workflow

Does train count explain individual delays?

No. It returns the current count of trains active in the system, not a train-by-train delay report.

Is this a scheduled timetable?

No. It is a real-time count action.

Can I use this for an operational status review?

Yes. The action is suitable when the review needs the current active train count.
