Look up nearby support when a lockout is reported
A lockout can demand attention fast. Have Notis search nearby for the type of help you choose when your backend reports the issue.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Nearby search
Searches for places (e.g., restaurants, parks) within a specified circular area, with options to filter by place types and customize the returned fields and number of results.
Why this helps
Under pressure, searching for local assistance adds decisions and delays.
- Start a local support search from a lockout report.
- Keep the chosen support category consistent across incidents.
- Receive a short summary without manually scanning map listings.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Seam and Google Maps to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a webhook automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to search nearby for your chosen support category around the reported lockout location and summarize useful results.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real or safely simulated lockout report.
Questions about this workflow
Will the search choose an emergency service automatically?
No. Specify the support category you want Notis to search for, and review results before acting.
Where does the lockout location come from?
Your external system should include the affected location in its HTTP request to the Notis webhook.
