Notis

Retrieve raw trip updates for technical review

Make the latest BART trip update feed available when a content request needs source-level data.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get GTFS-RT Trip Updates

Retrieve real-time trip updates.

Why this helps

Technical transit content can require raw trip update data that is awkward to find during a regular editorial handoff.

  • Retrieves the latest trip updates in GTFS-RT protobuf format.
  • Supports source-level research for technical transit content.
  • Keeps the raw data request tied to the relevant content review.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agility CMS and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named BART trip update source check.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the latest GTFS-RT trip updates and report the result for the technical content request.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and connect it to the source data request.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real technical request.

Questions about this workflow

Will this turn the protobuf data into plain language?

The action retrieves raw protobuf data. Notis may summarize returned information, but the result depends on what it can interpret from that response.

Is this the service alert feed?

No. This action retrieves trip updates. GTFS-RT service alerts are available through a separate action.
