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

Remembering to check for service changes adds another task to an already busy departure routine.

  • Adds an advisory check to the moment a trip is discussed.
  • Helps you notice system or station alerts before leaving.
  • Keeps the result beside the original travel plan.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Bart to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to check BART service when trip plans are mentioned.
  • 3Give one plain-language instruction to look up current advisories and summarize any that may affect the stated stations or trip.
  • 4Select Telegram New Message Received and choose where Notis should report automation runs.
  • 5Test with a real Telegram message naming a planned BART trip.

Questions about this workflow

Does it check live advisories?

Yes. The Bart service advisories action fetches current advisories when the automation runs.

Will it determine whether every alert affects my trip?

It can compare available advisory details with the stations or route you mention and explain uncertainty when relevance is unclear.
