Why this helps
When conditions change, a quick operating-status signal can help you decide whether to investigate further.
- Retrieve the current number of active BART trains.
- Run the check as part of a validated-location handoff.
- Use the count as a signal for whether to inspect schedules or advisories further.
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 Check.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the current train count after the validated-address webhook arrives and include the returned count in the run report.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example that sends the webhook after address validation.
