Notis

Fetch the current BART service alert feed

Pull the real-time alert feed when a route check needs current disruption information.

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

Service disruptions can make an otherwise useful trip plan stale before you notice an advisory.

  • Retrieve the current GTFS-RT service alert feed.
  • Use the result in a route or disruption review.
  • Start the check from an HTTP request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notis to Bart once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for alert checks.
  • 3Tell Notis to fetch current BART GTFS-RT alerts and summarize relevant advisories for your request.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select a run-report destination.
  • 5Test with one real request and review how the alert result is presented.

Questions about this workflow

Is this the same as the service advisories action?

No. This action fetches GTFS-RT service alerts in protobuf format. The Service Advisories action fetches current BART advisories.

Can the workflow interpret the raw feed?

Notis can analyze returned data, but the action description identifies the feed format as protobuf. Validate that the returned result supports the summary you need.
