Get a group decision on a Bart trip
When a team trip needs input, pair Bart route options with a simple Telegram poll.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Poll
Send a native poll to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Planning a shared trip across chat can scatter options and leave the decision unresolved.
- Put route choices and a decision prompt together in Telegram.
- Gather group preferences without manually tallying replies.
- Use Bart route information as the basis for options.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bart and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review Bart options for the specified group trip and create a Telegram poll using the relevant choices it can support.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real trip and verify the poll choices are clear and accurate.
Questions about this workflow
Can the poll include every possible route?
Ask Notis to include a manageable set of options based on the Bart information returned. The workflow should not invent routes or travel details.
Can a schedule be used for a trip that changes?
Yes, but the recurring trigger runs on its chosen schedule. Supply current trip details in the instruction or update the automation as plans change.
