Let your team know when the commute changes
When Bart reports a disruption on a route you specify, Notis can send a concise update to your chosen Gmail recipients.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
A route disruption can affect several people, and manually checking before notifying everyone takes time.
- Share relevant route alerts with a chosen audience.
- Include available Bart details in the message.
- Avoid sending routine updates when no alert is found, if instructed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bart and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, specify the route, recipients, and that Notis should email only when Bart returns a relevant service alert.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real route and verify the recipient and message.
