Turn Slack geography requests into Faraday places
Put a geographic targeting or analysis request into motion from the Slack discussion where it came up.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Create Place
Tool to create a new place in Faraday. Places are geospatial areas or sets of addresses that can be used as spatial filters when defining other resources. Use when you need to define a new geographic area for analysis or targeting.
Why this helps
Geographic research requests often wait because the person who raised them must later repeat the context in Faraday.
- Preserve the geography context from the original discussion.
- Reduce the delay between an expansion idea and analysis setup.
- Keep the setup request in the team's natural conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Faraday to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction to create a Faraday place when a Slack message clearly requests a geographic area or address set.
- 4Select the Slack channel-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real request describing a place to analyze or target.
Questions about this workflow
What is a Faraday place used for?
Places are geospatial areas or address sets that can act as spatial filters when defining other resources.
Can the request start with a rough expansion idea?
The request should describe the intended geographic area clearly enough for Notis to interpret the requested place.
