Recheck BART service conditions when travel notes change

Update a Notion travel page and check current advisories for the BART trip it describes.

Trigger

Page Content Updated

Triggers when the body content of a Notion page is updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any page content edit in the workspace the integration has access to. Notion aggregates content edits within a short window (~60s typical).

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

Important trip changes often land in page notes, where an earlier service check can quietly become outdated.

  • Refresh service context when the travel note itself changes.
  • Keep the advisory lookup close to the evolving plan.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Bart to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2In the portal, create an automation with one instruction to check BART advisories for the trip described in an edited travel page.
  • 3Pick the Notion Page Content Updated trigger and scope it to the travel page or data source.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports, then test by changing one travel note.

Questions about this workflow

Does the trigger watch the page body?

Yes. Page Content Updated fires when the body content of the selected Notion page or scope is updated.

Will unrelated text edits cause checks?

They may trigger the event. Tell Notis in the instruction to act only when the changed content describes a BART trip.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Bart. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Bart actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Get BART API Version

Stub action for bart api version retrieval.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Get BART Available Schedules

Tool to retrieve a list of currently released bart schedules. use when you need schedule versioning info.

ActionInstant

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

Get BART Stations

Stub action for bart stations retrieval.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

Download GTFS Static Schedule Feed

Tool to download the static gtfs feed (google transit.zip). use when needing the latest gtfs schedule data.

ActionInstant

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

Get BART Schedule Arrive

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

ActionInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

TriggerInstant

Get BART Schedule Depart

Tool to get schedule information based on a specified depart time. use when planning trips from an origin to a destination with time constraints after confirming station codes.
