Notis

Plan a BART trip around an arrival time

Put the arrival deadline in the request and let Notis retrieve the schedule information needed to plan around it.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get BART Schedule Arrive

Retrieve schedules for a specified arrival time.

Why this helps

Working backward from an appointment time can mean repeated schedule checks and extra context switching.

  • Use the arrival time and trip details included in the request.
  • Get schedule information suited to a deadline-based trip.
  • Keep a record of the lookup in the workflow run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the supplied station codes and arrival time to retrieve BART schedule information.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one request containing a real origin, destination, and arrival time.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow determine the trip stations by itself?

The request should provide the origin and destination station codes along with the required arrival time.

Does this publish or modify the ActiveMerge document?

The workflow retrieves BART schedule information and reports the run. No document editing action is specified.
