Fetch details for a place approved in Slack
A familiar reaction can prompt the next lookup once the team agrees on a place.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Place Details
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific place. Use when you have a place ID or coordinates and need comprehensive metadata.
Why this helps
After a team settles on a place, someone still has to remember to look up its details and share them back.
- Use an existing reaction as a clear signal to continue.
- Return place details in the thread where the choice happened.
- Reduce follow-up reminders after a decision.
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 to look up approved place details.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction for the chosen reaction and ask Notis to retrieve Geoapify Place Details from a place ID or coordinates in the message, then summarize them in context.
- 4Select Slack Message Reaction Added and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test by reacting to a message that includes a valid Geoapify place reference or coordinates.
Questions about this workflow
Can a reaction alone identify a place?
No. The message needs a place ID or coordinates that Geoapify can use.
Can I choose which reaction starts the lookup?
Slack's reaction trigger supports filtering by channel and emoji name when configuring the trigger.
