Fetch raw BART trip updates when your workflow needs them

Trigger a fresh GTFS-Realtime trip update fetch from the request that needs the 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 workflows need current trip data without a separate manual feed retrieval.

  • Fetch the latest live trip information in GTFS-Realtime format.
  • Start retrieval from a webhook request.
  • Support a compatible workflow that consumes raw protobuf data.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ahrefs and Bart in the Notis portal once.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for trip update retrieval.
  • 3Describe the outcome: fetch the latest BART GTFS-Realtime trip updates and report the result for the intended compatible workflow.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real request and confirm the result can be used by your intended workflow.

Questions about this workflow

Is this intended as a human-readable trip summary?

The action returns trip updates in raw protobuf format. Use an action described as estimated departures or schedules for a more planning-oriented result.

What is required to use the feed?

A compatible workflow or system is needed to consume the GTFS-Realtime protobuf data.
