Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check the requested Bart route for current service alerts and append the route, check time, and returned alert details to a chosen sheet.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real route and confirm the appended row is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run automatically when Bart posts an alert?
No. Bart has no listed trigger events, so this workflow runs when its Notis webhook is called.
What if Bart returns no alert details?
The row can record that no alert details were returned, along with the check time and route requested.
