Turn trip requests into BART departure plans
Keep travel planning with the work that prompted it. A new Asana task can start a BART departure lookup and return the schedule options in a report.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Get BART Schedule Depart
Tool to get schedule information based on a specified depart time. use when planning trips from an origin to a destination with time constraints after confirming station codes.
Why this helps
Trip details in project tasks are easy to lose while switching between a work tracker and transit planning.
- Start a schedule lookup from a project task
- Keep route options near the original work request
- Reduce manual switching between task tracking and transit planning
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Bart once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what trip-planning outcome you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to interpret new trip requests and fetch BART departures for the stated origin, destination, and time; report options and missing station codes.
- 4Pick Asana's New Task Created trigger for the project.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real task that includes a trip request.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the task include?
Include an origin, destination, and departure time. If station codes are not clear from the request, Notis can report what is missing rather than assume them.
Does this book a BART trip?
No. The action retrieves schedule information; the workflow reports options and does not book travel.
