Why this helps
Location details shared in chat are easy to miss when a team later needs to act on them.
- Makes relevant place information easier to find at a glance.
- Reduces repeated searching through Slack for an address or site update.
- Keeps the map current as the team shares new location details.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Felt to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to add relevant Slack location updates to a Felt map.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction describing which updates represent mappable places and which existing map to use.
- 4Pick the Slack channel-message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real location update and check the resulting map element.
Questions about this workflow
What should the Slack message include?
Use a message with enough location context for Notis to identify the place and the update you want represented.
Does this create a new map each time?
No. This workflow updates elements on an existing map; a valid map must be identified in the instruction or existing context.
