Notis

Start your commute with a BART departure brief

Use a recurring schedule to bring estimated departures for your chosen station into a run report at the time you need them.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Get Estimated Departures

Retrieves live estimated train departures for a station.

Why this helps

Repeatedly checking the same station each commute adds a small but persistent task to the start of the day.

  • Retrieve estimated departures on a recurring schedule.
  • See live prediction details returned for your chosen station.
  • Reduce repeated manual station checks.

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 retrieve estimated departures for your chosen BART station and summarize useful timing details.
  • 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example using your station code.

Questions about this workflow

Where do I provide the station code?

Include your chosen station code in the plain-language instruction when creating the automation.

Can the brief guarantee these departures remain current?

No. It retrieves estimates when the workflow runs, and predictions may change afterward.
