Give a service alert a place on your calendar
Check a specified journey for live Bart alerts, then create a short review hold when the response reports an alert.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
A disruption alert can be easy to miss when it arrives while you are focused on other work.
- Create a visible follow-up for a reported alert.
- Keep the affected journey context in the event description.
- Avoid treating an alert check as proof of a specific delay or alternative route.
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, ask Notis to check live Bart alerts for the journey specified in the request and create a calendar review hold only when Bart returns an alert and the request supplies a valid time window.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real journey request and verify the event is created only when the conditions are met.
Questions about this workflow
Will this automatically change my train plan?
No. It creates a review hold when Bart reports an alert. The workflow should not assume a replacement route or delay unless Bart provides that information.
What if the alert has no time window?
Use a time window supplied in the request or ask Notis to report the alert without creating a calendar event.
