- 3Tell Notis to use the new event's available destination, origin, and start time to look up a BART arrival schedule, and report any missing trip details.
- 4Choose Event Created as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test it with one real event that includes usable trip details.
Questions about this workflow
What details are needed to get a useful schedule?
The schedule lookup needs origin and destination station codes plus an arrival time. Google Calendar's Event Created trigger returns event ID, summary, start and end times, and organizer info, so station details may need to be included in the event or supplied by you.
Will Notis choose stations when the event has only an address?
The listed Bart action retrieves a schedule based on arrival time, while station information requires a station abbreviation. If those details are unavailable, Notis should report what is missing instead of guessing.
