Action

Why this helps

Station questions often require a separate search while you are already handling messages.

  • Respond with consistent station details
  • Save lookup time
  • Keep context attached to the request

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect TimelinesAI and Bart in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named WhatsApp station lookup.
  • 3Tell Notis to identify the station abbreviation in each relevant message and retrieve station info.
  • 4Choose the TimelinesAI trigger and report destination.
  • 5Test with a message containing a known station code.

Questions about this workflow

What if the message uses a station name only?

Notis can report that an abbreviation is required before station details can be fetched.

Does it alter the original WhatsApp chat?

No. The result is delivered to the selected Notis report channel.
