Get directions for a client visit from Slack
Make the route clear while the visit plan is still in view.
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
Routing
Tool to calculate routes between multiple waypoints. Use when you need both distance, time, and turn-by-turn directions for two or more coordinates.
Why this helps
Travel details are often left for later, adding a last-minute task before a client meeting.
- Calculate a route from the visit plan already in Slack.
- Keep directions close to appointment context.
- Reduce last-minute address searching.
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 prepare directions from Slack visit plans.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to identify a confirmed visit's origin and destination, use Geoapify Routing, and report the route and directions to the appropriate context.
- 4Choose Slack Channel Message Received and select where Notis reports runs.
- 5Test with one real planned visit that includes both locations.
