Make field coordinates readable later
Submit coordinates after a visit and have Notis save their address context with your notes in Drive.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Coordinates alone are hard to recognize when you revisit field notes days or weeks later.
- Pair coordinates with a human-readable location.
- Save the visit note as a Drive file for later reference.
- Keep location context together with the observations supplied in the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Big data cloud and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to reverse geocode the supplied coordinates and save a dated site visit note in Drive.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real coordinate and visit note.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow infer what happened at the site?
No. The request should include the observations to include; Big data cloud is used for location lookup.
What location input should I send?
Send coordinates in the webhook request for reverse geocoding.
Where is the note stored?
The file is created in Google Drive. Specify a destination folder by name in your instruction if needed.
