Geocode addresses shared in Slack
Get location coordinates from an address in Slack, ready for planning, directions, or a map.
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
Forward Geocoding
Tool to convert an address into geographic coordinates. Use when you need latitude and longitude from an address.
Why this helps
Copying an address into a separate mapping tool interrupts the conversation and creates another detail to track.
- Keep address research close to the conversation where it came up.
- Reduce manual copy and paste between Slack and mapping tools.
- Make coordinates available for a later route or location lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Geoapify to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally for an address geocoding workflow.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction: when a Slack channel message shares a usable address, send it to Geoapify Forward Geocoding and report the coordinates with the original message context.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with one real address posted in a Slack channel.
Questions about this workflow
Will this run on Slack direct messages?
No. This workflow uses the channel message trigger, which does not match direct messages.
What should the instruction tell Notis to do?
Ask it to recognize a usable address in a channel message, geocode it with Geoapify, and return the coordinates alongside enough context to identify the message.
