Include a BART train count in recurring transit reviews
Give reviewers a quick snapshot of current system activity alongside their content check.
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
Transit reviewers may need a quick operational snapshot but otherwise have to leave their content review to look it up.
- Retrieves the current count of active trains in the BART system.
- Adds a simple operational data point to a recurring review.
- Keeps the lookup available in the team's chosen run report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and Bart once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named BART activity snapshot.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the current BART train count and report it with the check time for the transit content review.
- 4Pick a Notis schedule trigger and set the review cadence and timezone.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real count retrieval.
Questions about this workflow
Does train count show whether a specific route is delayed?
No. It returns the current count of active trains, not route-specific delay details.
Can this count be used as a historical trend?
The action provides a current count. A trend requires storing prior results in a separate system or supplying a baseline.
