Make BART service checks part of a code milestone
A new commit can be a cue to check how service is running. Notis fetches current BART advisories and brings the result to your report channel.
Trigger
New Commit Added to Pull Request
Triggers when a new commit is pushed to a specific pull request. Monitors all commits on the specified pull request and emits an event for each newly added commit. This covers force-pushes and additional commits pushed to the PR's head branch.
Action
Get Service Advisories
Tool to fetch current bart service advisories. use when you need up-to-date system-wide or station-level alerts before presenting or planning transit routes.
Why this helps
Transit checks compete with coding follow-up and are easy to forget when work is moving quickly.
- Check current advisories at a distinct pull request milestone.
- Get the result without leaving your chosen report channel.
- Keep code activity and travel awareness in a simple routine.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Bart once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: fetch current BART advisories and summarize active service disruptions in the run report.
- 4Pick the New Commit Added to Pull Request trigger, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test it with one real commit on the monitored pull request.

Will this run for commits on any pull request?
The trigger monitors a specific pull request. Configure the monitored pull request through the trigger setup available in Notis.

GitHub triggers
Bart actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get BART API Version
Stub action for bart api version retrieval.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get BART Available Schedules
Tool to retrieve a list of currently released bart schedules. use when you need schedule versioning info.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Get Route Info
Tool to fetch detailed information about a specific bart route. use when you know the route number (1–12) or need all routes configuration. call after confirming the route id.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Get BART Stations
Stub action for bart stations retrieval.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get GTFS-RT Trip Updates
Tool to fetch real-time trip updates in gtfs-realtime format. use when you need the latest live trip information as raw protobuf.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Download GTFS Static Schedule Feed
Tool to download the static gtfs feed (google transit.zip). use when needing the latest gtfs schedule data.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Get BART Schedule Arrive
Tool to retrieve schedule information based on a specified arrival time. use when planning trips arriving by a given time.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
