Real-Time Transit Data When You Need It Most

An urgent comment just landed on your commute issue. Notis immediately pulls real-time BART trip updates so you can see live delays and adjust your plans before chaos hits.

Trigger

Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_CREATED`.

Action

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.

Why this helps

An urgent issue pops up, someone comments that they are stuck, and you have no idea if BART is the culprit or if something else is blocking them.

  • React to transit disruptions in real-time
  • Help team members troubleshoot delays instantly
  • Reduce stress by knowing the actual cause of delays

  • 1Ensure Linear and BART are connected to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When an urgent comment is posted on a commute or travel issue, fetch real-time BART trip updates.'
  • 3Select the Public Team Comment Created trigger.
  • 4Set your notification channel.
  • 5Test by commenting 'urgent: stuck on BART' on a travel issue and see real-time updates pull through.
