Bring BART real-time service alerts into trip planning

Check the BART service alert feed when a trip request calls for current disruption information.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get GTFS-RT Service Alerts

Retrieves real-time service alerts and disruptions.

Why this helps

Trip planning can miss relevant disruptions when the alert feed is not checked alongside schedule data.

  • Retrieve GTFS-RT service alerts in protobuf format.
  • Check real-time advisories relevant to trip planning.
  • Use the alert feed with GTFS static schedule data when that data is available.

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 GTFS-RT service alerts and summarize any relevant alert information for the request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real planning request and review the returned alert data.

Questions about this workflow

What format does this action return?

The action retrieves GTFS-RT service alerts in protobuf format.

Does it include static timetable data?

No. The action description says the alert feed is for integration with GTFS static schedule data.

Should I use this or service advisories?

Use this action when the GTFS-RT alert feed is needed. Use Get Service Advisories for current system-wide or station-level advisory information.
