Start the day with a clear BART service update
Get the route details and service changes you need in Slack before you head out.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Fetch conversation history
Fetches a chronological list of messages and events from a specified slack conversation, accessible by the authenticated user/bot, with options for pagination and time range filtering.
Why this helps
Checking schedules and alerts in separate places makes the morning commute harder to plan.
- See schedule and service information together in a familiar Slack conversation.
- Reduce the effort of checking transit updates before leaving.
- Keep a reference to the latest report in channel history.
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 name it.
- 3Tell Notis to check BART schedules and live service alerts for your commute, summarize relevant details, and post the update in Slack.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does Bart start this workflow automatically?
No. Bart exposes no trigger events here, so a Notis schedule starts the workflow and Notis asks Bart for current information.
Can Notis know which route I take?
Include your usual stations or route in the instruction. If you do not provide them, the workflow cannot infer your commute.
Where will the update appear?
The prompt can name a Slack conversation where the scheduled scan should be shared.
