Turn Bart train alerts into clear GitHub issue labels

When a service alert comes in, let Notis check Bart and apply the right label to the existing GitHub issue.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Add labels to an issue

Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.

Why this helps

Rail disruptions can land in a busy inbox and leave the related GitHub issue hard to find.

  • Spot train disruption issues faster
  • Keep alert-related work visible in GitHub
  • Reduce manual checking between Bart and GitHub

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bart and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Describe how Notis should check the Bart alert and label the matching existing GitHub issue in one instruction.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real alert and its GitHub issue.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a GitHub issue?

No. The selected GitHub action adds labels to an existing issue. Include how Notis should identify that issue in your instruction or webhook request.

Can the workflow check the alert details with Bart?

Yes. Bart can provide live service alerts. Describe which route, station, or alert details Notis should check.

ActionInstant

Add email for auth user

Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.

ActionInstant

Add app access restrictions

Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.

ActionInstant

Add a repository collaborator

Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.

ActionInstant

Add a repository to an app installation

Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
