Add Place and Timezone Context to Location Events
Send an Ably location event and get back a recognizable place with its local timezone in one step.

Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Reverse Geocoding With Timezone API
Tool to return reverse geocoding and time zone info for given coordinates. use when you need both locality details and timezone data in one call.
Why this helps
Raw coordinates are hard to interpret, and looking up the place and timezone separately interrupts your flow.
- Turn latitude and longitude into a readable location.
- Include timezone details alongside locality information.
- Reduce manual lookup before handing an event to another process.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Big data cloud once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: reverse geocode the coordinates in each incoming location event and return the place and timezone.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and provide the endpoint details that will start it.
- 5Choose a report destination, then test with one real location event.
Questions about this workflow
What should the webhook contain?
Include the coordinates in a form the automation can identify. The reverse geocoding action needs coordinates to return place and timezone details.
Does this create a new Ably trigger?
No. Notis starts this automation from an HTTP webhook request. Ably has no listed native trigger event here.
