Refresh station details after trip information changes
When a monitored trip range changes, Notis can fetch details for the BART station abbreviation in the updated values and report them with the change.
Trigger
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
Action
Get Station Info
Tool to fetch detailed information for a specified bart station. use after you have a station's abbreviation. (e.g., get station info for 'balb')
Why this helps
A changed station reference can leave trip notes stale unless someone remembers to look up its details again.
- Recheck station details when monitored trip information changes.
- Keep relevant station context close to the updated trip.
- Avoid manually repeating a station lookup.

- 3Tell Notis to fetch BART station information for the station abbreviation present in the changed values and report it.

- 5Test with one real change that includes a valid BART station abbreviation.
Questions about this workflow
What station identifier is needed?
The station abbreviation, such as balb, must be present in the changed values. The action requires an abbreviation.
Does this check schedules or service alerts?
No. It retrieves detailed information for a specified BART station.
What happens if the changed cells have no station abbreviation?
The prompt should tell Notis to report that the lookup was skipped because the required station abbreviation was missing.
