Track active BART trains with a recurring check
See the current count of trains operating in the BART system in a scheduled report, without opening another transit tool.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Train Count
Returns the current number of trains operating in the system.
Why this helps
A quick system activity check can get lost when it requires a separate manual lookup each time.
- Retrieve the current count of trains active in the system.
- Keep periodic readings in a report channel for easy review.
- Automate a small status check that is easy to forget.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bart once in the Notis portal; connect Addressfinder if verified address context is useful to your request.
- 2Create an automation named Scheduled BART active train count.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve the current BART train count and report the returned number with the run time.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule trigger and set the cadence you need.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real run.
Questions about this workflow
Does the count show trains near a particular address?
No. The listed action returns the current count of trains active in the BART system, not location-specific train positions.
Can I use the result as a service alert?
The action provides a train count. For service advisories, use the BART service advisories action.
