Give yourself a timely nudge before your BART trip
Put a departure reminder where you already manage your day.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
A planned trip can slip off your radar when its timing is buried in another app or note.
- Put a useful departure nudge in Slack.
- Use current schedule details as planning context.
- Keep the reminder focused on a trip you specify.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bart and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis which stations and planned trip to check, how far ahead to remind you, and to create a Slack reminder.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule that runs before the trip, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can this run from a BART departure event?
Bart has no trigger events in this setup. A Notis schedule starts the check.
Does Notis know my intended trip time?
Provide the trip timing or a repeatable commute window in your instruction. The workflow cannot know a one-off departure that you have not supplied.
Will Slack send the reminder at the right time?
Notis can create a Slack reminder using the time information supported by the action. Verify the reminder with a real example during setup.
