Make a recurring commute easier to plan
Have Notis check your specified commute on a schedule and add an event when Bart returns usable train times.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Repeated commute planning can eat into focus and leave the day without a clear travel block.
- Reduce repeated manual schedule checks.
- Keep the commute visible in the calendar when a usable schedule is returned.
- Avoid creating events from guessed or unavailable train times.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bart and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with a name and prompt, in the portal or by telling Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, specify the commute Bart should check and ask Notis to create an event only for a returned journey with valid start and end times.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real commute check and review the created event.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect my commute automatically?
No. Specify the route and relevant commute details in the automation instruction.
What if the schedule changes?
The automation checks Bart when it runs. Set a suitable recurring schedule and have Notis report when it cannot confirm a usable journey.
