Check elevator availability for event travel

Bring current BART elevator status into the event planning workflow so accessibility details are easier to review.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get Elevator Status

Retrieves current elevator status across all stations.

Why this helps

Elevator availability can change, and checking station accessibility separately adds another task to event preparation.

  • Fetch current elevator status across BART stations.
  • Surface accessibility considerations while preparing event travel details.
  • Keep a relevant service check with the event workflow report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveTrail and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to check current BART elevator status when the incoming ActiveTrail event webhook arrives and summarize relevant accessibility information.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real event webhook and review the resulting status summary.

Questions about this workflow

Does the action check one station or all stations?

The Bart action fetches current elevator status across BART stations. Tell Notis which event stations matter so it can focus the report.

Can the workflow guarantee an accessible trip?

No. It reports returned elevator status to support planning; availability may change and should be rechecked when needed.
