Notis

Make the meeting time. Let Notis find the BART schedule.

An arrival time buried in an email can become a clear BART plan, with schedule options timed around your deadline.

Trigger

New Gmail Message Received Trigger

Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.

Action

Get BART Schedule Arrive

Tool to retrieve schedule information based on a specified arrival time. use when planning trips arriving by a given time.

Why this helps

You have to switch from reading an email to looking up transit, then remember the arrival deadline while comparing schedules.

  • Find schedule options around an arrival deadline in an email.
  • Keep travel planning close to the message that prompted it.
  • Reduce the chance of overlooking a meeting time while planning.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and Bart once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to find BART schedule options for incoming emails that include a destination and arrival deadline, using station codes you provide when needed.
  • 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real email that includes a destination and arrival time.
