Find local service when a thermostat report arrives
When a workspace comfort issue needs attention, let Notis look up the local service providers you choose.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Text Search
Searches for places on google maps using a textual query (e.g., "restaurants in london", "eiffel tower").
Why this helps
Finding a suitable nearby provider adds research work to an already disruptive facilities issue.
- Start a location-aware service search from a device report.
- Search only for the provider category relevant to the issue.
- Reduce repeated research when workspace conditions need attention.
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 set it up.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to search Google Maps for your chosen service near the location reported by your thermostat backend.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real or simulated thermostat issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does Seam send the webhook directly?
No. A custom backend or external tool sends an HTTP request to Notis when it processes the Seam report.
Can I search for a specific trade?
Yes. Name the service category, such as HVAC repair, in the instruction.
