Prepare routes for an in-person sensor check
For alerts that need an on-site check, give the responder route options from their starting point as part of the handoff.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Route
Calculates one or more routes between two specified locations using various travel modes and preferences; addresses must be resolvable by google maps.
Why this helps
An alert can trigger a second round of coordination just to plan who goes where.
- Include travel planning with the escalated alert handoff.
- Calculate routes to the reported site without a separate search.
- Make the next step clearer for whoever is responding.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Seam and Google Maps to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an incoming-webhook automation or ask Notis to build it conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to calculate route options to the reported site when your backend escalates a sensor alert for an on-site check.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one simulated escalation and a resolvable site.
Questions about this workflow
Will every sensor alert trigger this?
Configure your backend to send the webhook only for alerts that need an in-person check.
Can Notis decide whether the alert is serious?
The workflow assumes your backend or instruction identifies an escalation that needs an on-site check.
