Why this helps

Community hosts often repeat basic local travel guidance while juggling other welcome tasks.

  • Adds a practical travel reference to a group welcome routine.
  • Reduces repeated searches for station information.
  • Helps members orient to stations that matter to the community.

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 to prepare BART station guidance when a member joins the group.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction specifying the group's relevant stations and asking Notis to retrieve their details for a concise welcome.
  • 4Choose Telegram New Chat Member as the trigger and a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with a suitable group join event and confirm the station context is available.

Questions about this workflow

Can it know which station is relevant to the group?

Include the group's station context in the instruction or ask Notis to request a station choice when it is not known.

Will it send the welcome message to the new member automatically?

The automation can report through its configured channel; its prompt should specify the intended response behavior and destination.
