Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Elevator Status

Why this helps
Planning an accessible trip takes extra checking, especially when a device alert changes where or when you need to travel.
- Request current elevator status across BART stations after a device update.
- Review availability information before planning station access.
- Receive the result in your chosen Notis run-report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and Bart once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language; name it and choose a report channel.
- 3Describe that a device update should prompt a summary of current BART elevator status for accessibility planning.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and have your connected-device system send an HTTP request when the relevant update occurs.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real device update and review the returned elevator information.
Questions about this workflow
Does the elevator action check one station or the full system?
The listed action fetches current elevator status across all BART stations. Use the returned information to review availability relevant to your trip.
Can the workflow detect the device condition by itself?
Notis does not build trigger filters here. Your connected-device system must decide when to send the webhook request.
