Give attendees a live BART departure check

Start with the event details already in your campaign workflow and get current BART departures for the station attendees need.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get Estimated Departures

Retrieves live estimated train departures for a station.

Why this helps

Sharing event travel details takes extra research, and outdated departure times can leave attendees guessing.

  • Check current departure predictions when an event campaign is initiated.
  • Include platform, train length, line, bicycle, and delay details when returned.
  • Reduce manual transit lookups while preparing attendee travel information.

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 use event details from the incoming ActiveTrail webhook to check live BART departures for the specified station.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real event webhook that includes a BART station.

Questions about this workflow

What must the webhook include?

Include the BART station needed for the departure lookup. Supply any event context you want Notis to use in its report.
