Turn texted coordinates into a Telegram location
When someone texts coordinates, Notis can pass the location into Telegram as a map point for easier team coordination.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Location
Send point on the map location to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Coordinates buried in an SMS are awkward to open, interpret and share with people coordinating in Telegram.
- Share coordinates as a Telegram map point.
- Make location details easier to open and discuss.
- Avoid manually retyping coordinates from a text.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and Telegram once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to send a Telegram location only when an incoming SMS includes usable coordinates.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger Android Texter can call, then choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real message containing coordinates.
Questions about this workflow
Can this infer a location from an ordinary street address?
This workflow is grounded in the Telegram Send Location action, which sends a map point. Coordinates or other location data usable by the action must be supplied.
What happens to messages without coordinates?
Tell Notis to skip them in the instruction. The automation should only send a location when it has usable location data.
