Keep a recurring pulse on active BART trains
Choose a regular time for Notis to check how many trains are currently operating across BART.
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 be useful, but it is easy to forget when it requires a separate lookup.
- Retrieve the current number of active trains at a chosen cadence.
- Keep the result in a recurring run report.
- Use the count as a prompt to investigate relevant advisories when needed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Addresszen and Bart once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named BART Active Train Count Pulse.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the current active train count and include it in the run report.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example before relying on the scheduled report.
Questions about this workflow
Does the count indicate train availability on my route?
No. It is a current system-wide train count, not a route-specific service status.
Can I pair it with alerts?
Create a separate workflow with a BART service alert action if you also need current advisories.
