Turn Slack coordinates into an address
Make latitude and longitude readable for the next person handling the task.
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
Reverse Geocoding
Tool to reverse geocode coordinates into a structured address. Use when converting lat/lon to human-readable addresses.
Why this helps
Coordinate pairs are precise but hard to recognize or reuse during a quick handoff.
- Convert a coordinate pair into a human-readable address.
- Make location handoffs easier to scan.
- Keep the address beside the source coordinates.
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 reverse geocode coordinates in Slack.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to detect a valid latitude and longitude, request Geoapify Reverse Geocoding, and return the structured address with message context.
- 4Choose Slack Channel Message Received and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real coordinate pair shared in a channel.
Questions about this workflow
What input does Reverse Geocoding need?
It needs coordinates that can be interpreted as latitude and longitude.
Does this find coordinates from an address?
No. To convert an address to coordinates, use Forward Geocoding.

Get Administrative Boundaries
Tool to retrieve administrative boundaries a location is part of. Use when you have either a place ID or coordinates and need GeoJSON boundaries. Returns a FeatureCollection.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Forward Geocoding
Tool to convert an address into geographic coordinates. Use when you need latitude and longitude from an address.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Geometry Operation
Tool to perform geometric operations on stored polygon geometries. Use when combining or intersecting multiple stored geometries.
Message Reaction Added

IP Geolocation
Tool to determine geographic location of an IP address. Use when you need to lookup location information by IP.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Generate isoline (isochrone/isodistance)
Tool to generate isochrone or isodistance isolines. Use when visualizing reachable areas from a point; use `id` to poll ongoing calculations.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Map Matching
Tool to snap GPS traces to the road network and correct inaccuracies. Use when raw GPS points need alignment to roads.
