Request live BART trip updates when needed
Trigger a current trip-update retrieval from an HTTP request, then review the returned GTFS-RT information in a Notis run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get GTFS-RT Trip Updates
Tool to fetch real-time trip updates in gtfs-realtime format. use when you need the latest live trip information as raw protobuf.
Why this helps
Live trip information can require a separate manual retrieval when another workflow needs an up-to-date feed.
- Start retrieval when an HTTP request arrives
- Fetch the latest live trip information in GTFS-RT format
- Keep a run report for reviewing the returned update data
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bart once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel what live trip-update retrieval you want.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to fetch the latest GTFS-RT trip updates when the webhook starts and summarize the returned trip-update data in its report.
- 4Pick a Notis webhook trigger and use its endpoint in the system that will start the request.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test by sending one real request to the webhook endpoint.
Questions about this workflow
Is the returned information a rider-friendly itinerary?
The action retrieves live trip updates in raw GTFS-RT format. Ask Notis to summarize returned data, but do not expect a personalized itinerary from this action alone.
What starts the automation?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook endpoint starts it.
