Questions about this workflow
Is this a human-readable alert summary?
This action retrieves GTFS-RT service alerts in protobuf format. If you need a plain-language summary, ask Notis to summarize the returned data.
Does the action include the static schedule feed?
No. It retrieves the real-time alert feed. A matching static feed may be needed by the downstream consumer.
