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

A basic system activity check can turn into a manual search when it is not part of a regular routine.

  • Retrieve the current count of trains active in the BART system.
  • Add a lightweight transit activity check to a recurring review.
  • Avoid remembering to run a manual count lookup.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airparser and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome: retrieve the current BART train count and include it in a short report.
  • 4Choose a recurring Notis schedule and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real run and inspect the returned count.

Questions about this workflow

It fetches the current count of trains active in the BART system.

Can it compare today's number with a baseline?

The action provides the current count only. Supply a baseline separately if you want Notis to compare against one.
