Fetch BART real-time alerts for a deeper review

When a client travel plan needs alert data for a more technical review, retrieve BART's GTFS-RT service alerts in protobuf format.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get GTFS-RT Service Alerts

Retrieves real-time service alerts and disruptions.

Why this helps

A simple disruption summary may not be enough when travel planning depends on reviewing alert data alongside schedule context.

  • Retrieve alert data in the specified GTFS-RT protobuf format.
  • Support review alongside static schedule feed data.
  • Keep a technical alert lookup tied to a client trip context.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AgencyZoom and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to fetch BART GTFS-RT service alerts and explain the trip context for the report.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real trip review and confirm the returned format suits your use.

Questions about this workflow

Is this the same as a plain-language service advisory?

No. This action returns GTFS-RT alerts in protobuf format for integration with a static schedule feed. Use service advisories for a human-facing advisory lookup.

Can Notis summarize this data?

Notis may analyze returned data, but the action's described output is protobuf. Confirm the returned representation is useful for your intended review.
