Check BART elevator availability before you go

Get current BART elevator status in the context of a verified trip request, so access details are easier to review before leaving.

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 affect a trip, but checking it separately adds another detail to track.

  • Retrieve current elevator status across BART stations.
  • Keep access checks close to the trip request that prompted them.
  • Make it easier to review elevator availability before travel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Addressfinder and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Verified trip elevator check.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve current BART elevator status and summarize the results relevant to the supplied trip context.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and configure the sending system to include the verified trip context.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real trip request.

Questions about this workflow

Does the elevator action check only the nearest station?

The action returns current elevator status across all BART stations. It does not identify a nearest station from an address.

Can the report guarantee an elevator will remain available?

No. It reports the status returned at the time the action runs; conditions may change.
